Right and how has he mishandled Adley, Gunnar, Westy and Cowser? Just because he didn't bring them up fast enough? Look at what happened with Holliday.

There are some posters @Brooks The Great and @oriolediehard that just jump on ANYTHING that doesn’t go 100% well with Mike Elias.  I guess they are trying to get under everyone’s skin and it works. Still pisses me off.

Gunnar and Adley were handled appropriately, Cowser and Westburg were absolutely not. Both Cowser and Westburg were platooned and weren't given a fair shot to play every day, which hurt their development and prevented the team from optimizing the lineup for the playoffs. 

Joey Ortiz was badly mishandled as well, and what he's shown in Milwaukee is a reflection of that.

So you would fire Mike Elias?

Do we think Vierra will pitch for us again?

I think I might rather see Chris Davis pitching against the Red Sox next time the Orioles have an 11-run lead.

They're still paying him, aren't they?

There is a delicate balance of breaking in rookies on a 100-win team. Brooks the Great would certainly be a better choice to do that than Hyde. He's got it all figured out.

I have no idea how to pronounce Thyago Vieira, but something tells me I won't need to learn.

It's pronounced "pitched for us for fifteen minutes so that Elias could pick up another 19 year old pitcher in the trade."  I know it doesn't look like it's spelled anything like that, so it's really tricky.

I want a guy with an arm like this.

 

I saw that, heck of a throw. Unfortunately he is a .700 hitter in Japan. 

If Rubenstein wants to make a big splash he would sign this Roki kid. Supposedly better than Yama and only 2020.

Yeah, I was more interested in a guy with a hose like that. I mean the title said laser beam and it still shocked me.

    • What if Holliday has a UCL injury? If the thought of a UCL injury holds you up from trading for Skubal, then you might as well only ever trade for rentals.  
    • I posed the question of Holliday or Skenes in a thread several months ago. It was near unanimous that people would want Holliday. I was pretty lonely advocating for Skenes, but it was with the playoffs in mind that I did.
    • Vs RHP - Santa RF, Cowser LF, Mullins CF, O'Hearn 1B, Heston DH Vs LHP - Santa RF, Hays LF, Mullins CF, Mountcastle 1B, Adley DH with McCann catching like usual.  
    • I think he's just doing what he's always done. For a guy who can look incredibly bad for weeks at a time and go heaters as crazy as anyone on the team, he is remarkably consistent from year to year. Aside from the pandemic year, he has been 108-120 OPS+, .250-.270, .305-.328, .729-.796, 1.5-1.9 WAR. He is on track for another Mountcastle year of good-not-great performance with plus power, low walks, and a lot of bad swing decisions.
    • Mayo is a RH power hitter, and we need him going forward to balance the LH studs on our roster.  Basallo looks to have huge power, and may be able to stick at catcher which could make him one of the most valuable players in the game.  Holliday will likely be a really good hitter for average and OB%, but is the easiest (right now) to replace within the system. He's also the guy who gets you the most value coming back.  I see Mayo as 99% untouchable. Basallo as 80% untouchable. Holliday 60%. Anybody can be had for the right return, but it better be a monster return.   
    • I wouldn't lump Crochet in with Skubal.  Also, we'd get Skubal for 3 postseasons.  I don't really care about the .5 season.   In no way am I not over the moon for Holliday, but if you get a chance to get arguably the best pitcher in the AL for 3 seasons then you do it.  Also, he's a lefty in OPACY.  It's an auto-trade for me.  No hesitation.  
    • Even in the last 30 days when Mullins has been hot with a 144 wRC+, he has a 0.8 WAR in 91 PA’s to Cowser’s 0.6 WAR in 77 PA’s. Cowser still has a 116 wRC+ against RHP’s and is a top 5 defensive OF’er according to Fangraphs. There is no reason he should not be starting against a RHP. His ceiling and floor are both higher than Hays or Mullins. Split the other OF’er/DH AB’s against RHP’s between Mullins/Kjerstad/Mountcastle.
