We are on pace for back to back 100 win seasons. We lead the division with a 96% chance of making the playoffs. There are only six teams head of us in starter ERA.

Burnes and Grayson are a credible 1-2. Suarez has a 2.83 ERA. Kremer is a solid 4. Irvin and Povich are solid 5 options.

I am assuming we will improve at the deadline. Yeah, I'd say it's working. 

Technically, we are only on pace for 98 wins following our most recent 5 game losing streak.

Have know Ethan since 8th grade, he committed to Uva when he was 13. He has been switch hitting all his life, don't really see the fit because he is definently a hit first catcher that is not super at

Hmmm.   Didn’t see that coming.   

Positional value. CF, C, and SS to start things off. 

Keep the position pipeline strong to have year in/year out playoff type teams. Elias might be restocking the system while staying true to his board/beliefs. 

Grow the bats. Buy the arms.

ESPN Kiley on Anderson.    I watch very little college ball, but kind of hear this liike UVA's offensive philosophy maybe Oregon State-adjacent, where Adley and Kwan as contact masters kind of embody the style.     We've seen the Orioles coach power into Cowser and Norby high batting average college hitters, and right now 5 years after his draft we are watching Adley do whatever it is he is doing right now growing his game to menace pitchers more (it may or may not be working, or authenic to his DNA as a hitter):

Sleeper to watch: Ethan Anderson, C (No. 61). There's no doubt Anderson can hit, but he didn't catch much in college. If he is good enough to be an everyday defender, the Orioles might have a steal on their hands. Virginia hasn't always helped its hitters tap into power while in college, and Anderson has 20-homer upside.

      Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset.  They would not have traded for him otherwise. Agree with this. Let the trade play out. Has to be some other plan than 4 Sh*t starts and a demotion. Sans injuries he probably no more fit into this Post Season than Norby or Stowers. Maybe he can be a future piece.

      You know what drives me crazy? Mosquitos. Also people who put their brakes on for no reason when you're behind them.

      Orioles acquire Gregory Soto

      By terpoh · Posted

      Calling Moises Chace and Seth Johnson "potential ML Starters" means that you can pretty much call any minor league prospect the same. Nothing against them at all, they are both very talented, but They both have equally as much chance (and probably more) of NOT being long term ML starters. Neither was top 100, neither was one of our top 10, and neither is in the Phillies top 10 now. Does it suck to lose guys? Sure. But come on man, we have to trade people to get people. Elias gets called a "hoarder" for not trading guys, then gets lambasted for trading guys that are not any of our top guys. Nobody expects Gregory Soto to be prime Aroldis Chatman, but if he can be a reliable arm in the pen down the stretch and in the playoffs and in 2025 then how is that not a good trade? You dont need to "win" every trade for it to be a good trade. If Soto is good for us but Seth Johnson is good for philly, its a bad trade? Lets not forget we acquired Seth Johnson for far less.

      I’m sure the timeouts were called for good reasons. The problem is why did that reason happen to begin with.

      I look at Rogers as pitching depth.    The O's have used 32 pitchers so far this season.   I am sure Rogers will figure into next years team somewhere.    If Povich, McDermott or Young are better than him next spring so be it.   Rogers has options. As far as trading Norby and Stowers for him, I am sure they were both offered to Tampa and Philly as well as all the 29 teams as Elias looked for pitching.   A back end starter in Rogers is the best that was offered. Elias' mission at the deadline was to improve the O's pitching without trading Holliday, Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad.   He did that.   I am sure he didn't want to trade prospects for veterans but that was the situation he and the team were in. Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset.  They would not have traded for him otherwise.
