Anyone who said Hays can’t hack it anymore judged him on his first month of the season and has ignored how he’s played since then.  He has an .872 OPS since coming off the IL in May.  Overall, despite the terrible start, he has a 106 OPS+, right in line with 107 for his career.   

Saying that, I have no problem with the trade.   
 

The bat will be fine, it's the declining speed and defense and inflating salary that's the issue.

Maybe Pache is only til Mateo returns?

I can’t imagine acquiring this guy as a late inning defensive replacement, instead of getting somebody better and then letting Mullins be the late inning defensive replacement. As much as I love Caleb Joseph, I sure didn’t want him getting any late at bats in a close game.

How? What? I haven’t even mentioned Pache cause he’s irrelevant to me in this trade. He’s a throw in. Late defense only. Can’t believe some of you guys think Pache is going to be starting all the time.

Hays wasn't playing anyway but the veteranosity of him probably had Hyde playing him more than he should have been. I don't think you see him doing that with Pache. 

Plus they got BP help.

Do we know how long Mateo will be out?

If Mullins is still here past the trade deadline Pache will probably be released. What are we even doing here.

We are getting anything for a guy who will be non tendered next season.

I would guess they didn't trade for him at all, but for the reliever. They just needed to take him to make it happen.

I’ve already posted in the thread multiple times in regards to its good Hays is off the team to allow at bats for Kjerstad etc and Dominguez numbers for the last couple months as he gets dumped on.

Me saying what are we doing here was in direct response to talking about Pache.

Explain.

Elias just traded Hays who  is not a free agent until after the 2025 season. In return he got reliever that has an 8m option which means the O's probably non tender Dominguez after the 2024 season.

Hays in another organization is an everyday corner outfielder with a great arm and  average mobility.  When he is healthy he hits.  He is 28 which means is not old and was an All Star is 2023.  

When Hays only returns an average middle reliever who is a rental that shows how hard it is for Elias to acquire pitching without trading his best prospects.

Funny, I thought you were being sarcastic about how hard/easy it is to trade for pitching. All depends on how one views Hays and Dominguez, I guess. I value them the opposite as you so then conclude, it's not so hard to acquire pitching! ;)

To get Dominguez on the 26 man roster a pitcher needs to be optioned.   I would guess that is Baker.

When Povich is called up next week  either Akin or Smith need to be optioned.   Barring other trades.

Dominguea has 5 years of service time which means he can not be optioned without his permission.

Why does Povich even need to be called up? They can stick with McDermott. Or if they want Povich, just send down McDermott for him.

Elias got a bullpen arm who might be a factor in the postseason for an outfielder who has been made redundant by organizational depth. I like this trade while Hays has been an asset the team doesn't need him.

The Orioles also got a bullpen arm without giving up any trade ammunition which will be needed for any impact trade deadline moves.

Trade from the top of the deck approach:  A+

Solid B on Dominguez too.  Still need another RP.

Pache is textbook swing decision/swing hard in case you hit it approach: plus EV, plus HH%, plus Chase%, and plus BB%...  with an awful Whiff%.

    • Didn’t Melvin Mora have one season when he hit lights out?
    • With this latest team batting slump I got to wondering about O's who have hit at least .300 in relatively recent years with a minimum of 400 at bats. Last homegrown player was 2008. Last not homegrown was 2019. 
    • Monken is part of the problem here. This has been his M.O. I've seen absolutely nothing over the last two season with Monken to think he's special at anything.
    • It is hard to quantify the mental element of the game, but it does feel like these guys collectively have a really hard time with situations where they need to come through. It is almost like the normal pressure that a pitcher should start to feel with runners on base never transfers when Oriole hitters are up.  It makes me wonder, how can these guys ever come through in a playoff game with real pressure if they get this nervous with a runner on 2nd and nobody out in Detroit in mid-September.   It was said in other threads this weekend, but it really does feel like the hitters are guessing on everything.  What is even more interesting is how often they seem to guess incorrectly.  Friday night was a clinic, as I don't know how they missed so many 91 mph fastballs directly down the middle.  And if they aren't looking at them or swinging right through them, they are somehow fouling them off.  I get swinging through 97+.  But those Tiger pitchers on Friday through an entire assortment of meatballs at them and they missed almost every one. Makes me wonder how messed up these guys are in the head.  Maybe the three headed hitting strategists and fear of failure is creating major traffic jams up there. 
    • Just reminds me of my favorite Moneyball quote   "if he's a good hitter than why doesn't he hit good"
    • It really seems like Holliday and Mayo are non-factors for this year's team.  Unfortunately Holliday and Soto bat from the same side so there is no natural platoon there. I think you pick the best one and right now that is Soto. You could maybe play Holliday some vs LHP but that isn't going to be great for him.  Based on pinch hitting for Kjerstad yesterday, I see zero chance they will start him vs LHP.  Urias and Westburg need to replace Mayo and Rivera ASAP and would be a nice upgrade. Could Westburg lead off vs LHP when he comes back? I don't love Slater there.  I think Adley should move back up once he sustains his norms for a bit. 
    • The Baysox closed their season at 62-75.   They were at or over .500 for much of the first half of the season, but started slipping in mid June and suffered several losing streaks, including skeins of 4, 6, 4, 4, and 9 games at various points after June 11.    It was a weak offensive year for the Baysox, who finished 9th of 12 teams in both runs/game (4.04) and OPS (.667).   Of the 11 players who played in at least half of Bowie’s games, Samuel Basallo led the team in all major rate stats with his .289/.355/.464/.820 line, and also led the team in hits (115), doubles (22) and total bases (185).   Jud Fabian led the team in homers (18) and RBI (58) and was 2nd in SLG (.432) and OPS (.758).   Dylan Beavers led in runs (67) and stolen bases (31) and was 2nd in OBP (.343) and (.756).   Though he only got 120 PA at end of the year, Enrique Bradfiled Jr. put up a nice .286/.395/.396 line and scored 25 runs and stole 15 bases in only 27 games. The pitching staff was 4th in the Eastern League in ERA (3.79) but 6tb in RA9 (4.51), thanks to a league worst 96 unearned runs allowed.  Seven starters made 10+ starts for the Baysox, with Alex Pham (4.24 ERA) and Trace Bright (4.18) bearing the heaviest workload at 27 starts each.  Seth Johnson (2.63 ERA) made 18 starts before he was traded, but generally pitched only 3-4 innings per start.  Cameron Weston (3.41 ERA), Kyle Brnovich (3.96) and Ryan Long (5.03) pitched a mix of starts and long relief.   Peter Van Loon was injured to begin the year but made 11 starts and 1 relief appearance to an excellent 2.66 ERA.  The O’s acquired Patrick Reilly in a deadline trade and he threw to a 3.73 ERA.  Among the relievers, Dylan Heid (26) stood out with a 1.69 ERA in 40 appearances spanning 64 innings.  Houston Roth also had a nice year, posting a 3.35 ERA in 33 appearances spanning 48 innings, and whiffing 12.1 batters per 9.    As mentioned, the Baysox defense was really poor, making the most errors in the league (149, about 30 more than league average) and allowing the most unearned runs (96, about 20 more than league average).  Dylan Beavers pulled off the trifecta by leading the team in errors at each outfield spot, making 5 miscues in CF, and 4 each in LF and RF.  Frederick Bencosme made 17 errors at SS and another 7 at 2B.  Silas Ardoin (10) and Samuel Badalio (8) led a catching cohort that made 22 errors, though the catchers did have a 30% CS rate.  The first basemen made 15 errors, including 8 by T.T. Bowen in only 50 games.   All in all, it was a pretty disappointing year for Bowie, with only Samuel Basallo really standing out on offense, and just poor defense all over the field.  The pitching was respectable but the defense limited their effectiveness.
