I wouldn't say that Mike won the trade deadline but he certainly did a great job. I was a little worried after the horrible trade deadline trades that we endured last year.

Who did you want him to trade for?  You do know that Skubal and Crochet weren’t traded. It’s hard to trade for players that weren’t really available. Is anyone upset that he didn’t outbid the Padres for Tanner Scott?

Name a deal that took place that you think Elias should’ve made?  Can’t say trade for players that weren’t traded, because nobody else was able to trade for them either.

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

Rotation:

Burnes, Rodriguez, Eflin, Kremer, Rogers

 

Bullpen:

Kimbrel, Cano, Dominguez, Perez, Webb, Akin, Soto, Suarez

Smith optioned?

 

C- Adley

1B: Mountcastle

2B: Westburg

3B: Urias

SS: Henderson

LF: Cowser

CF: Mullins

RF: Santander

DH: O’Hearn

Bench: McCann, Jimenez, Vavra (or another IF), Slater/Pache/Kjerstad

 

Assuming that Kierstad gets sent down then? They need a backup CF’er and why would they get Jimenez and not keep him on the 26 man.

2 out of Slater/Pache/Kjerstad have to be sent down?  Does Slater have options?

It would have been nice to get a Fairbanks or Finnegan even.

I don't think so. The type of moves that Elias has been making won't fly in NY.

New York city and Yankees fans are many things. But patient is not one. They are not going to continue to be pacified with the line, "but just wait until next year".

Yeah, because if there's anything Yankee fans won't stand for, it's being in first place at the trade deadline.

I think that Elias believed this was a World Series contender at the start of the season. He may have been willing to make a big splash at the deadline with one of the top prospects. Then Bradish, Means and Wells all went down, then Coulombe.  Then Mateo. At that point I wonder if he came to believe that it was ok to just duct tape some roster holes to make the playoffs, hold on to all of the young talent, and go to battle in the offseason.

Just uninformed speculation on my part. 

Solid take. 

 

Out of rep.

Yeah that’s what I don’t get because it doesn’t seem like Slater has an option. Jimenez/Slater as the two OF’ers on the bench isn’t great considering Jimenez shouldn’t see the field and they are both worse than Kjerstad.

I would have liked to have traded for Garcia from the Blue Jays.  He had a sub 3 ERA and a high K rate.  I would have rather had him than Soto--would have cost more.

I get where you are coming from.

But conversely this is the one season where you have Corbin Burnes under control. And who is to say that there won't be injuries next year or in any future year?

Agreed, and I love the contrarian angle. However, If Bradish is #2 behind Burnes, and even one of Wells/Means slots behind Bradish, then I'm with you 100%. I'm just wondering if there were too many holes to fill?

Maybe the O's are secretly at the front of the line for the offseason Crochet trade. 

Tell you one thing. I wanted to tell Crochet to suck it, and I'm glad he's still on a sucky team. You don't get to dictate what happens to you until you get to free agency. He acted like he was prime Pedro Martinez.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
