No, I you missed my point completely. I’m saying that a large amount of trade discussion includes an unwillingness to trade the guys we have who have value.

If we want to get someone worth having, we’re going to have to give someone worth having. The humor is that too many people in this comment thread ignore that.

Bingo.  Every team message board does this.   I am a big Colts fan and they do the same.  

We have a plethora of guys on the farm who may or may not make it.  Right now we have  MLB team that 'could' win the WS.

With the pitching injuries we have, and considering how it is very possible that 3 of them may not return until 2026?   IMO you have to make a trade.  And make a trade with some of your better prospects.  JH included.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

A trade like this would be our Archer trade. You make that trade literally never

Ok, no problem, but what I said doesn’t imply Panic Mode. But all of the guys we have, whether 3 or 5, are tenuous in some way, and it is imprudent to assume they will last the season or maintain current performance. McDermott has potential, but like Povich, who has only two starts, is a great unknown.

So getting a solid starter now isn’t panic, it’s just doing what is needed now.

In July the O's go back to a 5 man rotation.   Burnes, GRod, Suarez, Irvin and Kremer.  Povich and McDermott will be starter depth unless Povich is pitching so well they can't send him down.

I would be shopping Norby and a lesser minor leaguer for a late inning reliever.  Not a starter at this point.

You've made your feelings very known about Holliday. But you know in your heart and based on Elias' track record that there is almost zero chance that the Orioles trade him.

Holiday and a Heston for him?  If I am the O's I do it. 

Are you a Cubs fan? Because that would be a trade that would benefit them in a tremendous way.

What chance to do you the Orioles or any competent franchise trades the number 1 prospect in the sport and another top 30 prospect for a pitcher who will almost certainly get injured?

This is complete Blasphemy, but what about trading Westburg? He’s so good he might work as the only piece in the trade.

 

Yes it is BLASPHEMY and CRAZY! You don't trade guys with that kind of "clutch" gene. Why would we be worried about "the only piece" in a trade? I would rather trade worse players (multiple) than the singular better player.

I like Holiday.   Quite a bit.   So I don't want people to think that I think he will be a failure.  

 

He should be a very good player for a lot of years.

 

Just don't see elite.   And I want elite. :)

I think Shota will be a great pitcher for a long time.  That is why I say that.

I'm not people. I'm one person who speaks for myself (singularly) and only.

Also, I know that you think highly of yourself (and that is your prerogative). But just because you (singularly) don't see "elite" the MAJORITY of the baseball industry does, including guys who make a living evaluating baseball talent/players. So I'm going to have to lean into the opinion of the many experts including our own scouts and front office as opposed to what you see.

But I appreciate and respect your right to share your opinion.

Just curious what do you see in Gunnar the first two months of last season (if you were watching)? I don't remember the handle that you use being here. Maybe I missed it, wouldn't be the first time.

What makes him injury-prone? Most of them get hurt at some point. Burnes is one of the very few top level/elite pitchers who has managed to survive without major injury so far.

Hahahaha thank you, my brother. That’s exactly the reaction I expected.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Pretty much exactly what I am thinking.  I even had to cut back on my watching the games because the frustration was killing me.  Now I save all games on DVR and peek at the score if it is safe to watch.  This is odd because when the Orioles suck and they are far below .500 I watch every single game.  Sometimes every single inning of the year.   Crazy if the Orioles had STARTED the year sucking and had to spend the last two months in an amazing race to catch up for a chance for the playoffs we would all be thrilled.   But end the season on a three month skid of misery and the same playoff spot just feels empty.
