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

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.

Tell us you don't know anything about the O's prospects without telling us you don't know anything about the O's prospects. I get being salty getting scrubs back for Fedde and Kopech, but we gave up two guys who aren't going to start on this team, and Norby is a 24-year-old with a poor defensive profile who struck out in 28% of his ABs in AAA. Stowers is 26 and would not be a starter on a playoff team.

3 hours to go, I think we still make another deal for big bullpen piece and I hope his name is Mason Miller. 

Kinda nervous what the cost will be for a big BP piece. 

Seeing the cost for Rogers, cost for Miller would be insane.

Whatever else happens, a year after last minute Flaherty, kudos to Elias for course correcting and getting more accomplished at the deadline.

We'll see tonight but this moment Brian Cashman's trade partners may feel they have a little leverage on him.

It feels like we're done, right? 

But then again, as of this morning we were technically still looking for SP, RP, and RH OF. 

It's hard to imagine trading more pieces, especially any that qualify as depth. I'm going to assume we're done and be pleasantly surprised if we're not.

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. 

 

 

I’m well aware. Just saying that if they don’t end up with a high leverage reliever, I’ll be disappointed.

Another positive is that we traded Hays, Norby and Stowers picking up 2 potentially decent pitchers for the major league roster without trading any more arms on the farm.

Yeah this. They aren't sexy pitchers, but we didn't really give up sexy players either.

I just don’t see how Elias can trade all these pieces for Eflin/Rogers and do nothing to address the pen. The rotation is fine, the pen clearly is not.

People say they want a reliever. Well the only reliever on the market that is better than what we have is Scott. 
 

RH - Kimbrel, Cano, Dominguez, Webb, Suarez

LH - Perez, Akin, Irvin

I guess we can improve on Irvin to Scott. If Scott was the name then he would’ve been involved in this deal. You’d have to think.

Not done.    Even if Marlins are not compartmentalizing their SP and RP business, John Brebbia, Sam Moll, Justin Wilson, Andrew Chafin, Lucas Erceg and Shelby Miller some floaters.

Cubs zigging and zagging, Hector Neris may be on the market.

      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.
