He loved it here. He asked to be extended here.  If that wasn’t going to happen there is not a better outcome for him that to go to the Phillies. 
 

Yeah nothing to see here.  Comment was fine and it was accurate.

It definitely seems like something is/was up with the clubhouse. The hitters have given up. 

Be careful attacking the hitters or those in the "it's nothing wrong with the hitting" and the stats monsters will come after you like they did me. Lol. I think most of us with eyes can see how misleading numbers can be just by watching this team day in and day out.

First, Hays was not taking any shots. He was doing what any player does when joining a new team, and that's tell everyone how glad he is to be there. 

Second, Hays was going to get more of an opportunity to play then he was with the Orioles. Why would he not be happy with that?

Third, none of this has anything to do with what is currently going on with the Orioles right now. Maybe try and keep a lot of this stuff in the current threads instead of bumping old ones that really don't have anything to do with the current situation.

When I saw this thread got bumped I thought there would be an update or news about Hays. He has a .677 OPS in Philadelphia. He's provided less value than Dominguez, who he was traded for. Let him think whatever he wants.

If Hays approached the Orioles about an extension , that tells me he wants to stay here  . He was our starter during our ‘rebuilding’ years and had endured our losing performances . Seems like combination of injuries , declining stats &  prospects needing to play, Orioles decided to trade him to Philadelphia .  I have nothing against Hays , he has a new slate to play and rebuild his career . Why would he not be happy in Philadelphia ?

      Injury updates

      Well, I guess I need to get to the stadium by 11 AM today to watch Urias and Westburg here in Nashville! The stadium is 50 feet from my office window.

      No, It is my understanding that he is now a FA. Any team that picks him up is on the hook for prorated minimum this year only. The O's owe him the buy out.

      Burnes starting won’t help anyone hit. And I have minimal expectations for Westburg in his very first game back.    We just gave up 15 runs to a pretty damn pedestrian SF lineup last two games. I don’t think a ‘hangover lineup’ is going to help as much as you think. Plus again, if we can’t score it doesn’t matter much what the opposing lineup looks like.    I did just realize we have 10 games left, not 11. 3-7 seems even less likely than 3-8, ha.

      Game 1 Corbin Burnes, and Sunday Jordan Westburg and a bullpen game before an off day? We'll see in 10 days, but I think the Tigers run of good play at the end will have helped protect OPACY home field for the ALWC round. Very happy flight for the Tigers, and I'd guess they are asleep at their Baltimore hotel by now, waiting for tomorrow night.    Tigers home next week with two Skubal starts if necessary and a White Sox series, so the Royals and Twins are probably cheering pretty hard for us. If we finish this week 0-4, the Yankees might have that hangover lineup the day after division clinching one of our games there.    It looks pretty likely while we are in New York, the guys will have a front row seat handing over the AL East champion honor.

      They still need to win a few games to get there. I still don’t understand why people are acting like that is so certain (quoting you but not referring to you, per se).    3-8 in the last 11. 11 games left. In all seriousness, what makes anyone think we can even go 3-8 in the next 11?  We are bad in every single phase of the game and we’re playing against teams who have everything to play for (other than SF today, and they’ve pretty easily handled us this week already).    These last two games against SF, especially last night, have convinced me they’re going to fully blow this. We’ve already shown that Detroit can handle us. Probably going to lose to Webb today. Then it’s NY in NY. When is the last time we beat the Yanks in a late season series that mattered to both teams?  Ever? This team certainly isn’t the one to do it. And then it’s do or die in MIN. Anybody believe we can take 2/3 there?  I just don’t see a path to more than three wins, and even getting three doesn’t seem remotely certain. I think we’ll be lucky to win one game each of these last three series. Maybe that’s enough, but I’m far from sure they can even do that.    What’s the counterpoint to this?  Injury returns?  Too late for that IMO. Just start playing better?  What would make anyone believe that’s going to happen after 3.5 months of bad baseball? For real, someone tell me what they’re seeing that makes them think even 3-8 is going to happen in the next 11.

      We traded far too much for what we got in return IMO. You can't totally judge trades this early but as it stands now, Elias gets a well deserved D for his trade deadline performance. I've said this before. He's done a fantastic job bringing this club back to relevancy. I just question some of his roster construction and trade decisions.

      Since July 1st, the Orioles are 31-37 and since the Trading deadline when Elias was supposed to make the team better they've gone 19-24 (.441). Now grant it the team lost Westburg and Grayson as well as Eflin for a little bit, but what can't be swept under the rug is that Elias traded a decent part of his minor league league prospects and the team has done worse. The acquisitions of Rogers, Jimenez and Soto have not improved the team. Eflin has kept them from being even worse and we have him for next year, and the same goes for Dominguez. Hopefully Soto will figure it out or Elias wasted two pitching prospects (Chace being probably being the one with the most upside of any pitcher traded).
