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

Mayo will be up now.  We are done, and although we gave up a lot of LHP Trevor Rogers i think we had to.  Stowers does not have a place on the team and Norby is also not have a solid one.  Bring up Mayo right now, and sign Santander!

I sure as hell hope not. The BP needs to be addressed badly. Kimbrel cannot be our closer in the playoffs.

Norby and Stowers for Eflin sounds more reasonable than for Rogers. I do not understand what happened. There is no way Dominguez was our sole answer for our bullpen.

I don’t understand these comments about a player being blocked, so it doesn’t matter how much value you get for them. Just because Norby and Stowers are blocked doesn’t mean we have to take less value for them.

Not happy with the Rogers move right now but will reserve judgement to see other moves made by the O’s/other teams. If Flaherty gets moved for less than this package, it immediately looks very bad. And if Elias somehow doesn’t trade for a high leverage reliever (which should be virtually impossible based off the past month) then I will be perplexed.

It's objectively a much better deadline for us this year than last. I'm surprised to see you not understand that. 

We got 3 pitchers who are all under control next season. One a very good SP with playoff experience, one a solid high-K reliever with playoff experience, and a young lefty with control and options.

In 2023 we got two rentals who were having bad years. 

How long is settling for "solid" satisfactory.

Rodgers does NOTHING for us in the postseason AND it looks like we are going to be stuck with Kimbrel closing games. Honestly, how do you think that is going to go in October?

I'm honestly baffled by this.

From every place that I am seeing, this move is getting crushed for the most part. We paid that much for a mediocre pitcher to be our 5th starter?

Bit of an overpay but I don't think it's any reason to flip out like everyone is doing. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting...Trade Simulator likes this for us due to the money. Doesn't fix our TOR need though. 

 

This is the only place that appears to like this deal in our favor. EVERYWHERE else is saying major overpay for a mediocre pitcher.

      O’s look done

      By HardlyRocked · Posted

      One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander.

      True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.

      One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.

      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 their young guys 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.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  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.

      O's .300 hitters

      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.
