Rogers does fill a weakness in our #4 or #5 spot wherever Hyde wants to put him in. I like our rotation now. 

Really? Vavra? .800 OPS in Norfolk in 123 PA's.

Apparently you didn't notice the need for someone to play SS behind Gunnar. ;)

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

I know we needed pitching but Norby leaving and being replaced by Vavra really hurts. Can't wait to watch Norby and Ortiz start for NL All Star team as the double play combination in a few years. Who knows maybe Gunnar and Holliday will represent the AL.

Some of you guys are gonna have to re-learn not to put Stowers and Norby in every single hypothetical trade from here on out.

Gotta come up with some trade idea to get them back, so we can shop them again.

If the Orioles had landed nobody we would have criticized Mike Elias for not doing enough to bolster the club. If he traded a top 3 prospect we would have questioned why he didn't include a different top prospect given our needs or we would have given up too many supplemental prospects. If the value of starters wasn't already high the Blue Jays haul increased the value of starting pitching. Relievers might be even higher to be honest. Be prepared for someone like Tanner Scott to cost Kjerstad and a prospect at the back-end of our top 10. This is what happens when MLB added that second wild card and more teams feel like they have a chance. I don't love the trade, I wish it were a better name, but you have to think that we are 100% out on the remaining top starting pitchers mentioned on the trade block.

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.

 

norby and Stowers did not have a spot on this team. This the virtue of drafting so well you have great players with no actual spots on a 25 man roster.

I get some of the negative reaction to this price, but the fact is that a young SP with 2.5 years of control is an expensive trade commodity. Even if they are not a TOR. 

The negative reaction wouldn't have been as bad if Norby hadn't popped a couple homers and made a few plays in the field that made everyone go "What bad reports about his defense?!?!"

We'll see what Rogers can do for us.  I'm hoping Elias and Sig see something in his profile that make them think there's improvements that they can make.  I'm not upset about a lefty in Camden Yards, either.

I'm also excited because Kevin Brown will remind everyone that this guy was a 1st round draft pick in 2017.

This is the last day to get starting pitching; I think they saw what Povich has at present and don't see him as a viable option this year. If another SP gets hurt in the next couple of months, we are going to be glad we bought more depth. I'd love to see Skubal or Snell, but I'm glad we bought more pitching. Norby hurts a bit, but we're loaded in the infield; time to slather on the Mayo and go on Holliday!

Unless you think Rodgers slots in as one of your top 3 starters in the playoffs, how does he really help us in October?

And unless a player does that, what is the point of the acquisition?

I don't understand this trade at all if you are serious about trying to win a World Series.

On the surface it's one good prospect and one okay prospect for a poor MLB starter. But if you look at it as potential impact at the major league level for the O's it could work out. There isn't a realistic role for Norby or Stowers even though they're knocking down the door... meanwhile there's a gaping hole in the rotation. Rogers is a lefty, has had one exceptional season in the majors three years ago (he's done it), is just 26 years old, has the pedigree of being the #12 overall draft pick, and is controllable for two more years.

Recent results are poor so I'm not excited about it... but we gave up two prospects we don't have jobs for in exchange for someone we really need if he can just live up to what he's capable of. Roll of the dice without giving up much in actuality.

Recent results are actually quite good over his last 9 starts. He has been a pretty good pitcher years prior, with one excellent season over 25 starts.

      O’s look done

      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.

      He was good in the pen last year. He had a 7.71 ERA in the pen this year and an 8.08 ERA overall the last 3 months.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      In 2008, the MLB average was .264.  Today it’s .244.   It’s very tough to hit .300 these days.  in 2008 there were 41 players with 400 PA who hit .300.  Right now the 41st player with 350 PA (lowered since there’s still 12ish games to play) is batting .273.    Maybe some part of that is offenses deemphasizing BA.   The bigger part, IMO, is that pitching just keeps getting harder and harder to hit.
