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 bet White Sox fans are looking at the return Miami got for Rogers and wondering wtf went wrong with the Fedde/Kopech/Pham trade lol.

We are but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t cracking up a little at the package the O’s just gave up for Rogers.

I'm disappointed we gave up Stowers in this deal.  Norby for Rogers seems about right.  Norby and Stowers for Rogers and Nardi would have been fine.

I think we overpaid here but enough teams seemed to like the upside of Rogers that maybe we're getting something a little better than I currently think.

At this point with how this deadline is going... I'm struggling to be optimistic and may be a little overly negative.

I can't believe after last year, that Elias would do this.

I absolutely get it. It's tough watching guys we have been coveting going to other teams. I still want the "my splitter is a gift from God" guy from the Reds.

It certainly seems like a lot, but the Kikuchi trade last night also seemed pretty lopsided. Bidding wars result that way sometimes, it just doesn't seem like there was much of one for Fedde. I'm genuinely baffled as to what happened there.

Maybe there's a wink wink nod nod "deal" for Scott in place if Miami isn't happy with other offers by 6PM lol. A sort of overpay now for an underpay later. IDK, just making up rationale in my head.

Rogers is fine as a 5th starter and is under control for 2 more years so I guess it’s fine even if it’s an overpay. But if they give up those assets for him without addressing the bullpen any further, that is not fine.

I would have much rather done Norby, Stowers, and maybe Beavers for Fedde.  That would blow what WS got out of the,water.

Yeah, I agree. I still like the Eflin acquisition. But I'm infinitely higher on Eflin than Rogers, and it feels that somehow Elias gave up more than Rogers. Tell me how this is good?

Is anyone saying it is good? It's not. He's struggled this year, until recently. If you could remove April from your chart, you would see stuff that would make you happy. That's what we're going after. A lefty would also be helped out by...a huge, deep wall in Left field. A good defense (despite our odd errors lately that I certainly believe will stop). And also a group of pitching coaches that seem to have a knack for turning guys around if they have it in him. And Rogers has it in him, he wasn't far from being a Cy Young winner his rookie year, not long ago. 

Our org isn't making this deal if we don't think he can be a solid pitcher for the rest of this year, and '25 & '26. That doesn't mean he will, but I hope they're proven to be right.

Suarez goes to the bullpen, that should help.  I was hoping we got Scott to replace Kimbrel.

Just a reminder, the trade deadline is at 6p EST... not at 3:30 or 4 like it normally is.  Plenty of time for other stuff to happen.

      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.
