It is on point Roch is leading the Terrin Vavra angle of all this.

Lololol. That is so very "Roch". When Roch said we're probably out on the exciting starters I figured we would end up with something like this. Appears Elias was looking more for years of control than elite-ness.

We are seriously overrating our prospects. I'm fairly certain when Detroit called them and said we'll give you Skubal for Norby and Stowers, Elias just said nah, we're going with Rogers from Miami. Lo

They both had their flaws and both weren't going to be regulars here, anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand what's going on here.

I liked them both and I hope they both do well in Miami.  Both have a lot of potential.

Right, like Ortiz, I'm glad they'll get a shot. We didn't lose all-star talent in this trade.

Wait, I don't think Tony said that Stowers would be ahead of Holliday, Basallo or Mayo. You surely read that wrong. 

I’d find it if I knew how to do that lol

either way he said he would be top 5

This guy is a former first rounder. Former rookie of the year pitcher. Left hand pitcher in Birdland till 2027. Huge pick up. Last nine starts a little over 3 era. This is exactly what we needed and will be looked at as a huge move as we progress toward one of several World Series opportunities in the next ten years.

 

 

Makes me wonder if he's the Joe Saunders type role he had in '12, not flashy but stepped up when things were on the line in the postseason.

I think Rogers has had prior good performance, a good run over the past 9 starts, and is controllable. No real injury history. The O's staff may also see something that can help him improve. 

He's not Skubal or Snell, but for this year, if we lose Grayson, or Burnes, or Eflin to injury, Rogers is next as #3 for me. Also, someone's gotta eat all these innings coming up, and it's not Povich. 

We had to break the AAA logjam, and we took what we could get. If there was a better deal out there, I trust Elias to have taken it. I am coming around to this deal. 

If there is a world where Rogers is your #3 you are going to be a bad baseball team.

We could have used those two prospects and acquired a good reliever. This is a nightmare scenario and another unforced error to go on top of last deadline.

I can see a scenario where one of those guys makes an all-star team as Miami's lone representative...but that's more because there's a silly rule in place.

Please look for the forest through the trees.  You all are looking at a small sampling of starts this year where he wasn’t good and extrapolating that out over his career.

And again, as I have talked about, there is something weird going on in Miami because all of their statcast numbers are ugly for the starters, even though they weren’t in the past

It's not just this year.   He wasn't exactly great in 2022 either.   2023 was a washout year due to injuries.

Seems like you are the one looking at the small recent sample size of 9 starts and considering it more important than the 39 previosu starts from Apr 2022 to June 2024.

I think the thing people are missing is that there were a bunch of teams on Rogers. 

Just because everyone is doing something, doesn't make it good idea...

I don't think he's "a #3," just saying he is depth insurance. There may be a bigger deal still in the works, who knows?

I didn't peg you for the full blown sky is falling posts. "Nightmare scenario"? Really? 

The nightmare scenario was losing Bradish and Felix and Means and Wells. Elias is patching together a rotation for the rest of this year AND 2025. And he's done it without using any of the top prospects or even Kjerstad.

      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.
