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

Keep in mind that Stowers would’ve been our #4 prospect if he had been eligible. He was slightly over the AB disqualification.  

what?

I think one of Holliday/Mayo comes up tonight for Norby.  The other one comes up on 9/1. McDermott can come up on 9/1 as a reliever. 

Who on the market has the arm McDermott might have as a reliever?  Even if so, is the price worth it?

We could probably trade Pache straight up for Pillar if we wanted, but Pache is a CF platoon for next year as well. Career .698 OPS vs LHP and still kinda young.

Vavra has already been called up.

I must be in the minority of not wanting to get Scott back.  He walks too many guys for my taste - not what I would want in a high leverage reliever.  His FIP is a full two runs higher than his ERA.  

I think if you’re buying him with the hope that he’ll be the 0.47 ERA pitcher he’s been over the last 3+ months, you’ll probably be disappointed.

But if you’re a bit more conservative and just hope that he’d be the best relief pitcher on either side in most playoff series, then perhaps there’s a better chance of him delivering on that.

I bet it's going to be a shockingly steep price. The market has been crazy since last night.

All the other team's are idiots and willing to "overpay". But we are smart and content to stay the same.

I believe what is becoming clear is that Elias had nothing to do with the Cole, Verlander, or Grienke acquisitions for HOU when they were winning championships with those guys.

Maybe, but I think is clearer is that pitching costs a lot more than it used to because more teams can get into the playoffs.  More demand than supply than even a year or two ago.

We have completely overhauled our rotation, and moved Suarez to the pen. We added Seranthony Dominguez who has better stuff than most of our pen. And there are still 2 hours before the deadline. How did we stay the same?

      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.
