Or maybe Elias wasn’t interested in Puk.

That’s possible too.  Again, I hope he doesn’t miss out on, maybe not the perfect pitcher of his choice, while the player he really wants doesn’t get moved until 5 minutes before the deadline and we miss out to another team.

Sorry if it's been posted before, but for those (like me) who had missed it, Mason Miller's pinky fracture was on his non-throwing (left) hand. 

Already know …. It wouldn’t keep me from getting him at the right price

If they were in a playoff race, they wouldn’t have put him on the IL. Most men would say wrap that shit up and let’s go. I don’t think it effects his value at all to teams wanting to trade, but as much as we would like to see him on the Os it is going to cost a lot and I’m not sure most of us could stomach the price.

Have you ever caught a ball in your glove with a broken finger? 
 

im guessing not …. But I have it was only competitive softball and I was pitching. It was excruciating on anything hit solidly back at me. Thankfully it subsided in a week without playing. Mine was a fracture of the ring finger at the knuckle. The 5th meta carpal is the bone behind the pinky in your hand. So I’m imagining it might not be as band depending on the grade of the break.

Right... the injury is not going to be an issue.  The cost, as always is the determining factor.  A ToR is more important to me, but a potentially great closer for 5 more seasons equals 😀.

At this point, I’m just holding on to hope that this is the last time through the rotation where we have to go Kremer/Suarez/bombs away 5th starter. The combination of that 3 has been deadly! And not in any kind of good way.

    • I was thinking the same thing regarding the short possessions. The lack of 4th quarter offense had played a big part in these late game collapses.  This team investing in a RB like Henry makes no sense with how the coaches run this offense. That money would've been much better spent on someone who would've kept Faaele on the sideline.
    • Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.  
    • And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.
    • The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.
    • It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective. 
    • Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.  
    • It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:
