The Baltimore Orioles are not done. They want to add a reliever, preferably left-handed, a right-handed hitting outfielder to replace Austin Hays and yes, maybe another starting pitcher, according to sources briefed on their plans.

After acquiring Zach Eflin, who is under contract for next season at $18 million, the Orioles are not opposed to acquiring a rental starter. Jack Flaherty, Yusei Kikuchi, Blake Snell and Frankie Montasall fall into that category. Teams view Snell as likely to opt out after this season, as long as he is healthy.

 

In the outfield, the Orioles added Cristian Pache in the Hays deal, along with reliever Seranthony Domínguez. Pache is a right-handed hitter, but his career batting average is .179. A role player such as Tommy Pham or Kevin Pillar would help provide greater balance. All of the Orioles’ other outfielders are left-handed except Anthony Santander, a switch-hitter.

Domínguez gives the Orioles another right-handed reliever who is tough on righties to go with Yennier Cano. The left side of the ‘pen, with Cionel Perez, Keegan Akin and recently demoted starter Cole Irvin, is not as strong.

Just don’t. I’ve been telling myself for a while that this is just a slump but it’s looking more and more like it’s who they are.

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

The last 2+ years say otherwise. Sucks right now though.

Phillies were making room in their bullpen by trading Dominguez.

 

So the return is the Phillies #23 and #28 …. If Tanner Scott can be had for something similar it’s time to pull the trigger.

What is the last two years have to do it. This year they are going on prolong losing streaks which they never did. They are losing series. They are getting swept. In the last two years This wasn’t happening. They’ve lost at least 2/5 of the rotation. Their closer. Oh and we didn’t have Kimbrel the two prior  years either. You can say they’re gonna turn around, but certainly the last two years is not an indicator of that. I hope they do but don’t go trading any of the big three on this sinking ship.

Hyde always puts a positive spin on things and I get why he'd do that. But something is clearly going on behind the scenes and we need to stop the bleeding before it gets out of control. We've been borderline unwatchable for a while.

Exactly.  We’re talking Moises Chace and Edgar Portes types.

I’m at the point where I’d sell Burnes and Santander if we got a big enough return. This team just isn’t going to contend this year. 

While I have to admit that I've felt like this recently, it only takes a nice stretch where they win 8 out of 10 or something along those lines and everything will be alright again.  Despite the fact that they are floundering a bit, there's too much talent here for it to continue.   I think there will be a couple of more bats infused into the lineup and another couple of arms.

I think he has been critical lately. He was with Kimbrel last night. He may not be “direct” but if you listen he is honest.

I’m not trading Burnes …I’m finding a way to sign him. Santander I’m on the fence on.

      O's .300 hitters

      Didn’t Melvin Mora have one season when he hit lights out?

      By TomDominick · Posted

      With this latest team batting slump I got to wondering about O's who have hit at least .300 in relatively recent years with a minimum of 400 at bats. Last homegrown player was 2008. Last not homegrown was 2019.

      Monken is part of the problem here. This has been his M.O. I've seen absolutely nothing over the last two season with Monken to think he's special at anything.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      It is hard to quantify the mental element of the game, but it does feel like these guys collectively have a really hard time with situations where they need to come through. It is almost like the normal pressure that a pitcher should start to feel with runners on base never transfers when Oriole hitters are up.  It makes me wonder, how can these guys ever come through in a playoff game with real pressure if they get this nervous with a runner on 2nd and nobody out in Detroit in mid-September.   It was said in other threads this weekend, but it really does feel like the hitters are guessing on everything.  What is even more interesting is how often they seem to guess incorrectly.  Friday night was a clinic, as I don't know how they missed so many 91 mph fastballs directly down the middle.  And if they aren't looking at them or swinging right through them, they are somehow fouling them off.  I get swinging through 97+.  But those Tiger pitchers on Friday through an entire assortment of meatballs at them and they missed almost every one. Makes me wonder how messed up these guys are in the head.  Maybe the three headed hitting strategists and fear of failure is creating major traffic jams up there.

      Just reminds me of my favorite Moneyball quote   "if he's a good hitter than why doesn't he hit good"

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      It really seems like Holliday and Mayo are non-factors for this year's team.  Unfortunately Holliday and Soto bat from the same side so there is no natural platoon there. I think you pick the best one and right now that is Soto. You could maybe play Holliday some vs LHP but that isn't going to be great for him.  Based on pinch hitting for Kjerstad yesterday, I see zero chance they will start him vs LHP.  Urias and Westburg need to replace Mayo and Rivera ASAP and would be a nice upgrade. Could Westburg lead off vs LHP when he comes back? I don't love Slater there.  I think Adley should move back up once he sustains his norms for a bit.

      2024 Bowie Baysox

      By Frobby · Posted

      The Baysox closed their season at 62-75.   They were at or over .500 for much of the first half of the season, but started slipping in mid June and suffered several losing streaks, including skeins of 4, 6, 4, 4, and 9 games at various points after June 11.    It was a weak offensive year for the Baysox, who finished 9th of 12 teams in both runs/game (4.04) and OPS (.667).   Of the 11 players who played in at least half of Bowie’s games, Samuel Basallo led the team in all major rate stats with his .289/.355/.464/.820 line, and also led the team in hits (115), doubles (22) and total bases (185).   Jud Fabian led the team in homers (18) and RBI (58) and was 2nd in SLG (.432) and OPS (.758).   Dylan Beavers led in runs (67) and stolen bases (31) and was 2nd in OBP (.343) and (.756).   Though he only got 120 PA at end of the year, Enrique Bradfiled Jr. put up a nice .286/.395/.396 line and scored 25 runs and stole 15 bases in only 27 games. The pitching staff was 4th in the Eastern League in ERA (3.79) but 6tb in RA9 (4.51), thanks to a league worst 96 unearned runs allowed.  Seven starters made 10+ starts for the Baysox, with Alex Pham (4.24 ERA) and Trace Bright (4.18) bearing the heaviest workload at 27 starts each.  Seth Johnson (2.63 ERA) made 18 starts before he was traded, but generally pitched only 3-4 innings per start.  Cameron Weston (3.41 ERA), Kyle Brnovich (3.96) and Ryan Long (5.03) pitched a mix of starts and long relief.   Peter Van Loon was injured to begin the year but made 11 starts and 1 relief appearance to an excellent 2.66 ERA.  The O’s acquired Patrick Reilly in a deadline trade and he threw to a 3.73 ERA.  Among the relievers, Dylan Heid (26) stood out with a 1.69 ERA in 40 appearances spanning 64 innings.  Houston Roth also had a nice year, posting a 3.35 ERA in 33 appearances spanning 48 innings, and whiffing 12.1 batters per 9.    As mentioned, the Baysox defense was really poor, making the most errors in the league (149, about 30 more than league average) and allowing the most unearned runs (96, about 20 more than league average).  Dylan Beavers pulled off the trifecta by leading the team in errors at each outfield spot, making 5 miscues in CF, and 4 each in LF and RF.  Frederick Bencosme made 17 errors at SS and another 7 at 2B.  Silas Ardoin (10) and Samuel Badalio (8) led a catching cohort that made 22 errors, though the catchers did have a 30% CS rate.  The first basemen made 15 errors, including 8 by T.T. Bowen in only 50 games.   All in all, it was a pretty disappointing year for Bowie, with only Samuel Basallo really standing out on offense, and just poor defense all over the field.  The pitching was respectable but the defense limited their effectiveness.
