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

I'm going to be so bummed when we don't get Rogers lol.

Not that it's a "make or break" kind of move for us or anything, I just like a good buy-low gamble, especially with a high enough floor to contribute regardless of whether they break out or not.

If rumors are true about the White Sox GM being "fed up"  with Crochet, then it might be a good opportunity to buy low.   I don't blame the guy for looking after himself with an innings limit.   If the White Sox weren't going to inform teams about it;  he was wise, and honest,  to speak up before some team traded the farm for him.   Or, perhaps Crochet just blind sided the White Sox with the whole thing.  Who knows? 

Crochet is signed for next season, right?  The Orioles still need to get to the post season this year.  They want to be completive next season too.  Might be a good fit if the price is right.

He's under team control for next season.

But he says he won't pitch in the postseason this year unless the team that trades for him inks him to a long term extension that will be at a premium price.

I say this knowing that we'll almost undoubtedly get near a dozen moves in the last 2 hours, but it's odd to me that there hasn't been a single trade as of yet on deadline day and we're under 6 hours to go.

Premium price?  That is speculation correct?

I have been to his Baseball Savant page myself previously and it is pretty grim, but I also think our guys might be able to fix him. It seems like a fun and interesting buy-low trade for a guy who once looked like a TOR, but YMMV.  

Obviously, the return would have to be reasonable since he's a fixer-upper.

He ***IS*** left handed. 

There's that. As long as he's cheap, sure. He looks like Cole Irvin to me.

If the Marlins threw in Rogers with Scott it'd at least give us more flexibility with our rotation. I'd still expect Rogers to do better for us as the #5 than the Irvin/Povich/Suarez/McDermott jumble, and there's upside that he can get back to how he threw in previous years since he's under club control through 2026.

I say just ignore any rumors about the O's. No one had anything on the trades for Flaherty, Fujinama, Burnes nor Hays. They don't have any insight to Elias

Which is why I think Tyler Anderson fits. There’s no smoke around him for us. Anderson + Pillar for Povich, Pache, Wagner, and Fabian?

      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.)
