The Orioles don't need just another average guy with an outlier season. Kikuchi is just another guy. They already have that in guys like Dean Kremer.

They need to aim higher if they're serious about winning in the post season against the hottest teams.

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

Last 2 years:

Kremer: 231.1 IP, 4.20 ERA, 4.64 FIP, 4.28 xFIP, 1.7 WAR

Kikuchi: 269 IP, 3.91 ERA, 3.92 FIP, 3.58 xFIP, 4.6 WAR

Their ERA is close (Kikuchi’s ERA is 5% better than league average while Kremer’s is 2% worse than league average) but nothing else is remotely close. I don’t think Kikuchi is the savior but he’s a lot better than Kremer is.

I feel like this trade deadline is the biggest moment for Elias in his tenure and of course for Rubenstein.  Another token Flaherty/Fuji move is total waste of a year of Adley's/Gunnar's prime.  Still zero extensions signed.  Need to keep a counter to keep track of all these extensions.

What do you think about Holiday Kjerstadt Bradfield and McDermott for Crochett and Robert? We’re giving a ton, but getting back two established stars.

For the life of me I can't figure out why so many here keep pushing to see them trade for Crochet. For a guy who may not even be available come playoff time he sure has a ton of support around here.

For some of us, 41 years w/o even playing a World Series is enough.  For others, they just want to horde prospects.  Crochet doesn't guarantee a World Series, but he's like so many other dominant, young pitchers who have led their teams to the World Series.  Teams with great hitting and mediocre pitching seldom win the World Series but often win the regular season.

Sometimes it’s good to look at the similar pitchers with the same velocity and movement. Some good names on that list.

What would we do with Detmers this year?  No time for a project. That’s for the offseason. Just get Fedde or Kikuchi. 

Detmers has some underlying numbers that say he could be good this year…he also could be a weapon out of the pen.

This was a recently highly rated guy who is left handed and has a good arm. He’a a good get for this year and especially the long term.

I agree. He looked great in that early series, but he’s someone to mess around with in the offseason. It would take a lot to get him. We need to use our resources for SP this year. Detmers would cost about the same as Crochet. I would think. One of the big 3 stuff or a package that hurts bad.

Those are a lot better than Kremer’s comparables on Savant.

Huh?  He won’t cost anything near that.

      Unfortunately the better and more relevant the O’s get, the more frequent we will see these kinds of posts/posters.  I don’t want to delve into personal politics much (as that is not what this board is intended for). But as an American, it is sad to see that our politics have become so divisive and our country is so divided. As one of our greatest and most storied presidents once said quoting from Judeo/Christian scripture, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”. I hope you find the kind of internal peace that frees you from the need to hate others who are different than you.

      Actually, I had started a thread about the ESPN Jinx, linked below, on July 14th....about 3 weeks ago.

      That's where I'm at. Mayo could obviously make it impossible to send him down,  but the likelihood is that he's going back to Norfolk for a couple of weeks before he breaks rookie status.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This year, Rogers has pretty much been Cole Irvin 2.0. Irvin is good at not walking anybody but nothing else. Rogers walks more but also strikes out more. Both have subpar stuff and have given up tons of hard contact. I’m not really expecting anything else in the short term. But unlike Irvin, there’s potential for something more: -The velo and performance prior to his injuries was really good.  -Even though his velo is well below average now, he still has good spin rate on his fastball and good extension.  -He’s got one plus pitch - his changeup - which is more than Irvin has. Other than the fastball, that’s probably the most valuable pitch for a plus offering as a lefty starter.

      THIS!!  The first paragraph.....I posted the exact same thought and feeling (actually, called it an ESPN jinx)  in another thread around the time of the All Star break, and I was told I was "overreacting" and "there's nothing to see here", and oh, "they'll be fine, everyone goes through something like this." Okay, maybe there's not a jinx, but Adley and Gunnar cooled off substantially immediately.  In fact, the night of the game and the special shoes, Gunnar struck out in all 4 at bats. If someone had told you that the Orioles hit 7 home runs in their first two games after the All Star break, would any of us have bet money that Gunnar hit at least one of those?  I would have, and would have lost the bet.....

      Conspiracy Theory: Mayo is up now because the initial data they are seeing on Westburg's injury indicates a shorter-than-expected recovery time (i.e. 6 weeks) so they believe they will be able to option Mayo back to AAA before he exceeds the rookie threshold, which is why they waited a day before promoting him- to get a clearer idea of Westburg's recovery time.
