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

Fun fact: the Tides game was suspended last night in the bottom of the 9th, tie game, 2 on, 2 out, Kyle Stowers at the plate.

Kind of poetic. In limbo organizationally and in the game on the eve of the deadline.

The Rangers ended July going 2-7, were 60-46 and 1 game up in the division. Their bullpen was terrible, DeGrom was lost for the year, their rotation was pretty unspectacular (Perez, Eovaldi, Heaney). They trade for Jordan Montgomery and Scherzer though and go on a run and never look back.

There was not a single bullpen arm that could do that. But had you attempted to pick up 2 good bp arms that would have been a help, no?

You are really stretching to confirm your narrative. Sure, two arms would have been nice and a few folks advocated for it. We don't know what kind of constraints Elias was operating under but I am guessing he did not have the budget to spend $20M on the bullpen prior to the ownership change. We went into the season with a really solid bullpen but we lost a key guy in Coulombe. Now we have to replace him. Maybe Elias should have anticipated losing Coulombe but most teams with any resource constraints don't go into a season with seven high leverage arms. 

As it is we already added Seranthony and I would be surprised if we don't get more. Even Stevie Wonder can see that trading for pitching was part of the plan.

They went 30-26 the rest of the way and lost the division.  Scherzer didn’t pitch in the first two rounds then had a 9.45 ERA in the LCS and pitched 3 innings in the World Series.

A fine narrative but not really true. They lost 8 in a row in August, 7 out of 8 in September, and limped into the playoffs by losing 3 of 4 and needing to take the wild card.

Ok I shouldn't have said "never looked back", point was they had their share of problems (probably more than we do).

A question about Crochet:  if the O's and Sox agreed on an offer, would the O's have an opportunity to negotiate an extension before the trade becomes official?  

It seems that Crochet is more likely to be traded today than Snell or Skubal, but I can't imagine making that trade without having an extension in place.

The Marlins are reportedly closing in on a Trevor Rogers trade and multiple teams are involved, including the Mets.

Hopefully the Orioles are one of them.

Is the appeal of Rogers basically the 2 years of control? His peripherals don't look great.

      O’s look done

      By HardlyRocked · Posted

      It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season.

      O's .300 hitters

      The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.

      He was good in the pen last year. He had a 7.71 ERA in the pen this year and an 8.08 ERA overall the last 3 months.

      By Frobby · Posted

      In 2008, the MLB average was .264.  Today it’s .244.   It’s very tough to hit .300 these days.  in 2008 there were 41 players with 400 PA who hit .300.  Right now the 41st player with 350 PA (lowered since there’s still 12ish games to play) is batting .273.    Maybe some part of that is offenses deemphasizing BA.   The bigger part, IMO, is that pitching just keeps getting harder and harder to hit.

      Sure, but let's be real, he isn't the team's best power hitter. You didn't need to talk him up like that.

      I cannot say I am a fan of this move by the O's (being available to be claimed) considering the scrubs they have started recently.   At the very least he was a good middle reliever.

      I can’t speak to recently, but on the year, the O’s have the 6th-fewest looking strikeouts in MLB.   They’ve struck out looking 270 times, and league average is 300.   (Interestingly, through yesterday there were exactly 9,000 looking strikeouts in MLB this year.)
