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 sure as hell hope so. I think we all agree on that.

I’ve always loved the name “Big Maple” but since he left the Mariners he’s been meh. 
He's a good player for my enemy to have.

But now the Bosox will be less involved in other guys, which may mean better things for the Os.

Mark Kotsay gave context on the Mason Miller pinky.    He described the scenario Monday night as Miller releasing some frustration when postgame he was reminded he had a lift session to complete.

He added detail the training table was padded, and that some of why IL necessary is inability to squeeze glove.

Well, I guess he got out of the lift session, huh?

I found this tweet interesting. Now, it’s possible or this is just Bowden’s thought process and he’s completely overrating these guys.

However, whether we like him or not, Bowden is a well connected guy and talks to a lot of people.  If this is the industry wide thought on the potential of these guys, it’s very possible our system outside of the top 4 is going to be looked at more favorably than we might think.

To go further since your trying to talk down to another poster in typical fashion.

what would you think the chance of the bust percentage for De Los Santos? Chances of only being a fringe MLB player, chances of being a regular 1B, Allstar ? 
 

Now where do you grade Basallo, Mayo, Kjerstad, And Holliday? I’m sure you’d agree the percentages are all higher probability guys.

De Los Santos probably has a higher ceiling than Horvath … but is also much more likely to fail imo.

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 😀.  

Here’s the thing … I don’t think they should do one without the other. Honestly folks have argued a #1/#2 SP plus a second Fedde type. And others said to 2 leverage relievers. I think they need 3 guys and probably an impact RH bat. If that’s Mayo …fine.

I want the Orioles to be buyers and sellers at this year's deadline. I think the selling process has already started by trading Hays. If someone offers us a good player for Cedric Mullins and Ryan MountCastle, I would trade those guys as well. This year's trade deadline is going to determine whether or not we go to the world series this year.

403 errors are killing me.  It has been okay for some time, but not today.  It's been hours and I still couldn't post until this moment.  Ah well, I know Tony is on it.

Seller’s market does not sound like Elias. 

Hindsight, we should’ve just traded Holliday + for Cease last deadline. 

You can't be serious.

    • 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:
