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

Do you seriously think that Eloy comes within 1/100th of replacing AS talent wise?

 

I mean really?  Wouldn't it just be a lot better to just sign AS? 

“Talent” is probably not the avenue you want to use to attack Eloy Jiménez. Extremely gifted/talented hitter who was a top 5 prospect in the world in his youth. In terms of raw hitting talent, he’s got as much as just about anybody.

He is, unfortunately, also made of glass. And it seems to be taking its toll on his body (and ability). That would have to be the primary concern by far with viewing him as some sort of a Tater substitute.

Mad Dog tearing O's apart on MLB Tonight for not getting top end reliever. 

He's still on TV? He's the dumbest person on the planet when it comes to baseball, I'm shocked he still has a platform.

He's probably JLC's idol.

Ah, that stinks.

Still true though.

Oh agreed, was just adding that data point since I just saw it on twitter.  It was retweeted by Roch so it must be legit.

Elias just crushed this deadline and ran circles around the league. Plugged holes for next year too. 

Pay him. 

I wouldn't say that Mike won the trade deadline but he certainly did a great job. I was a little worried after the horrible trade deadline trades that we endured last year.

I agree, now i want the team to stop having self-inflicted wounds and get back on track.  WE got two very good to solid relievers, likely the best starter traded, and a 4th starter that could be solid and with som tweaks a number 3 starter.  AND all have team control for next year, to cover up for injuries to many starting pitchers.  And the best prospects we gave up are likely low level MLB starters, Norby and Stowers.  High five!

He’s not wrong in saying we needed a big arm in the BP though. We just can’t rely on Kimbrel.

He does act like he's hyped up on something, but he did have a point.  I would take all of the O's trades other than the Eflin trade and put whatever the O's invested into the trades towards a top end reliever.  Seems like the O's have a 12 man bullpen now with no dominant reliever.  I'm hoping Coulombe comes back as good as ever.

      O’s look done

      Speaking of that, look up Adley's splits. He's literally elite batting right handed. His numbers are fantastic. Maybe it's time for him go full time righty.

      Which is kind of crazy when you think about it.  It is just getting a hit every 3 out of 10 at bats.   In any other sport that is a FAIL.  Pitching is much better these days with the creation of the specialty reliever but still it seems ridiculous that no one can hit .300.

      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.

      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.
