I don't see why we would trade Hays. He is a RHB. Feels like Norby would have already replaced him by now if they wanted to go in that direction. We would already be taking some risk in replacing Mounty with Mayo so I have to think we would keep our options for RHB's. Or do you think they are trading for a RHB? 

Hays isn’t hitting again. His defense is down. I don’t see a need for him.

And yes, a trade for RH CFer I think is still possible.

A Detmers/Pillar/Estevez deal makes sense for both sides.

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

Yeah I'd love to him him. Miller's got 5 years of control after this year. His statcast info is underwhelming but the results are good.

He’s just so bad on the road it’s bizarre. 4.9 K/9, 5.51 ERA, 5.76 FIP, 4.90 xFIP.

vs LHP

Mullins - .381 OPS

Cowser - .672 OPS

Maybe we don't need Robert, but Pham would be nice.  The main point is that we need two SP.  That need should take precedent over 1 RP.  You can drag me in the weeds on RH CF, but that doesn't change the reality of our rotation.  Just helps you to argue/nitpick a small segment of my statement.  Unfortunately, that nitpick doesn't start games on days Burnes and Grayson don't pitch.

Hays has 7 PA's in the second half. It's really hard to tell what he is or isn't doing/going to do based on such a small sample. On the season he is close to a .900 OPS vs LHP's. Pillar does make a heck of a lot of sense. They could option Hays without trading him. My operating assumption is Norby will be traded which will make RHB depth even more of a premium.

I'm as confident as ever.  I'll lay a bet down on us to win the WS today.  Well, and the Giants too at +18000.  

We just need to make some moves.  

What's the reason for the Luis Robert hate?  I think it's largely because people want to see an all "homegrown" lineup, and if we get Robert then that means that ain't happening.  

I want to win.  I don't care if the players were drafted by us or even earthlings.  Just win baby.  

Who cares about a homegrown lineup? Would adding Luis Robert improve the team? Of course! Will Getz have a reasonable expectation of his value? Of course not!

To me it’s a moot conversation as there is no way Elias overpays for a position player when we have such dramatic pitching needs.

Why is the cut off the second half?  He has 34 at bats this month and has a 79 wRC+.

Just an indicator of how sporadically he has played. We can't tell anything from 34 AB's either. There is also the question of who needs .700 OPS RH OF. I would be surprised (but not shocked) if he is traded.

Then send him down or release him. He provides no value.

Some of why I hope Elias strongly invests in the bullpen is that the 2024 Orioles rotation is already better than the 2014 Royals rotation.

Can you even Sporcle quiz recall who they were without looking it up?

James Shields and Yordan Ventura had 123 ERA+ during the regular season, Jason Vargas 106, Jeremy Guthrie 95.     They were the only four pitchers to start games during a month long run, as one anecdote about SP5's role even 10 years ago.

I couldn't remember any of their names, but I just remember that one big corn-fed looking reliever they had that would just come in and shove.  Can't remember that dudes name either but that Royals bullpen was duck ****y tight.  

 

EDIT:  It just came to me.  Wade Davis.

No but you can tell a lot from a years worth of at bats and while he spiked back up for a little while, that’s gone.

 

TeaMs are desperate for offense.  He would easily be dealt. We won’t get much for him but you could trade him.

Can we trade Hyder or whoever keeps forgetting to write Kjerstad into the lineup? This is absurd. 

Yeah zero reason Kjerstad shouldn’t be in the lineup against a RHP over either Mountcastle or Hays.

You're as confident as ever but you're pointing to a little skid like it's something.

I don't care about an all homegrown lineup.

Here's the reason for the Luis Robert hate.  It's been pointed out to you several times but here goes once more:  

 

image.png.554412cff67b6380c4379dfa05ad8c40.png

When I look at the numbers under the "G" column, I see a guy that cannot stay on the field.  He makes David Segui look like Cal Ripken.  I'm not in favor of trading anyone for a guy who's 50-50 at best to be on the field when we need him in late September/October.  

He is also a guy that has little OBP skills...you don't want that in this lineup.  There's no plate discipline there, there's no good approach.

Holland was nasty...I don't remember Herrera.  But it was Wade Davis.  

I think they tried him as a starter before and when he went to the bullpen he was about as good as anyone in the game for a 3 or 4 year stretch.

      The Orioles need to hit a flare base hit every now and then. Said this the other day during the game thread. Jeter was the master of wearing flare during his career

      And we’ve had different defensive coordinators during that time frame, Harbaugh is the constant yet again.

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.
