Bad gamble by ME thinking he can get a return to form. High price, and won’t help.

and now we’ve lost two significant pieces…and we need a 2b too

Thankfully we have one at AAA

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

Yikes.. I am glad that Kyle will get a chance but I was kinda hoping that they would hang onto Norby. 

There's some to like about Rogers (he's a lefty and not a rookie who is struggling to throw the ball across the plate) but man, would have liked to see them be a little more aggressive. I guess he slots into the 5 spot in the rotation. 

Burnsie

GrayRod

Efflin

Kremer

Rogers 

On paper, that's a much better rotation than Burnes, GrayRod, Kremer, Povich and Suarez and it pushes Berto into the pen where he probably profiles best. 

I hope they are still targeting a lefty reliever, even if they believe Danny will return before the end of August.

Fact that Norby/Stowers are blocked is irrelevant.  I can't imagine they didn't have more value than this. Yes, Rogers is controllable, but controllable mediocrity (unless I am missing something).

It feels like a lot to give up, but at least you can't say Elias is sitting on his thumbs and afraid to trade prospects.  Plus, Stowers and Norby probably weren't in our long term plans anyway.  

Rogers is interesting, if he can find what he had his rookie season, this could work out very well for us.  If he pitches like he did two years ago it could be a disaster. 

I wonder if this means we bring up Holliday?

I mean - Norby and Stowers are not significant pieces... and they have Holliday and Mayo waiting in the wings to help in the infield.

Glad Stowers will get a chance to play everyday. I think he is a big leaguer.

Better opportunity for both of them. And I agree about Stowers...I think he will become a ML regular.

      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.
