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

Why does everyone want to trade Cowser all of the sudden? He's our best defensive outfielder already, and I have faith he can improve on his strikeouts enough to make the power/speed combo be valuable at the plate. He doesn't even have a full years worth of at bats yet in the bigs. 

See the blue in the picture. That’s kind of important.

Where do you rank Blake Snell  ?

He'd be top of the list if I could predict that he'd be healthy.

I'm worried about the injuries, tbh. He started the season late, injured, wasn't great, injured, now has been better. But Snell is historically a second half pitcher. And it's dramatically different first half vs. second half.

Kjerstad’s whiff and K rates are also poor. He also chases a lot more than Cowser and plays below average defense.

I didn’t say you’d like it. You’re living in delusional world if you think that’s not close to the cost. 

You don’t have to give a potential leading candidate for ROY and in some eyes, a top 30 prospect for that package.

Pham has little to no trade value. He’s fetching lottery ticket. Fedde is having a nice year but you probably can get him for Norby and Beavers. And Brebbia doesn’t make up for the difference…and if that’s what it costs, you just go get Fedde, drop the other 2 and go acquire a different reliever or 2.  
 

If you are trading Cowser (or Kjerstad), it has to be for a true difference making talent.  That player doesn’t exist in your package, therefore it’s laughable.

Worried about injuries …. Snell, Crochet, Skuball, Scherzer ..did I miss anyone?

You have to factor in inflation. We are not the only team vying for these names and some teams will overpay. I'm not saying that the Orioles will, it's never been Elias' MO, but we aren't the only teams bidding on players.

And no team is trading their version of Cowser for that package.  It’s just not happening.

It makes no sense.

He's a rookie! And he's having a very solid first year. Why do people want to jettison this?

Chris Davis hit the ball hard too when he made contact. It’s the making contact part. See Blue. 

Maybe Cowser needs to change his approach, make better contact, and not have .600 OPS since May.

I think if the Blue Jays go past Kikuchi that Berrios and Gausman become in play as well as Bassitt.     Elias might incline to Bassitt for brevity of term like a sunflower turning toward the sun.

If it is a blowup, I think Arjun Nimmala becomes the franchise player with Orelvis Martinez wearing the bad vibes suspension tag and Ricky Tiedemann having only 17 innings in late July.

Yeah if the Brewers traded Joey Ortiz for Fedde I feel like this most of this board would think that’s crazy (which it probably would be). Cowser has been better than him this year and is also 2 years younger.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
