AppleTV guys are saying that Josh Smith could make a run at ROY if his second half matches his first…quick check of his stats indicates he has played 254 games in the majors and is just shy of 700 AB.

AppleTV? That's Dave Johnson and someone else on MASN.

Actually, this might be the MASN2 guys. I have no idea who these guys are. But that’s gross incompetence either way.

    • I think the downside scenario is more likely to resemble the recent Jays.   However, there is also a decent possibility that Red Sox and/or Yankees become dominant over the next few years.  I think the Red Sox young core (Durran, Roman Anthony, Casas, Rafaela, Abreu, Marcelo Mayer, Kyle Teel, Kristian Campbell, Miguel Bleis + Devers) is as good or better than ours and they are going to have a lot of payroll capacity.  The Yankees could return Cole and Soto along with Judge and good young pitching - even if the rest of the lineup is middling they will be tough.  As a result, I’m trying to enjoy the season and not to get too down despite it seeming like a slog.  As frustrating as it has been, it’s still better than being out of contention in September. I’m hoping that all of the Orioles Magic is just being saved up for the playoffs unlike last year. 
    • Don't sweat it, the team will just lean on all the young pitching in the minors.
    • While it was easy to be confident about losing guys like Hays, Santander, MC, Urias and Burnes because we had ML-ready replacements who would replace them with improved production, it's hard to be confident about any of those replacements other than Gunnar and Westburg.
    • Yes, we all know you're loving the last two weeks.
    • Gunnar isn't a free agent until 2029.
    • The language here is so imprecise that it's hard for me to follow, but it sounds like Fuller is saying a couple things that, if I'm right, are disturbing: 1. The coaches are giving advice to the hitters about the right mental approach, but the hitters are unable (or unwilling) to follow it. It's just too hard for them to implement the coaches' sound advice when they're at the plate. If that's the case we need new batters or new coaches or both. 2. Reviewing successful ABs and comparing what guys did then with what they're doing now. It sounds like that effort is just getting under way, or at least that it's recent. If they weren't doing that stuff two months ago, why weren't they? The message that does come through is that the coaches have some good ideas about what to do. That's so comforting to hear.
