Putting any stock into his start tonight, his first day with a new team, a new catcher and not having any time with the pitching coaches is silly. Give him a few turns through the order, then blow you

So you're just completely discounting the possibility that the O's are working on specific things with him and told him to ignore results that first start? I'm not sure why you would knowing what we k

Well, you’re not gonna see me involved in the debate anymore. In my humble opinion, it’s a terrible trade, no matter what. End of story. I can’t be convinced otherwise. I’ve yet to even see a slightly compelling reason why it might be a good trade. Obviously if he comes back and pitches lights out and we win a World Series  I’m going to be happy with the trade, but it still doesn’t really make it a good trade on paper. Good night everybody.

You’re entitled to your opinion as we are entitled to our opinions .

I’m reminded a little bit of the Bud Norris trade.  He was quite mediocre for us the year we acquired him at the deadline (86 ERA*).   Then the next year he was a big contributor to our AL East championship team (108 ERA+).   He totally screwed the pooch his third year (58 ERA+) and we released him before the season was over.   So, he wasn’t completely worthless over his three year tenure but he certainly didn’t help us two years out of three.  I hope we’ll get more out of Rogers, but we’ll see.  

One good Bud Norris year out of Rogers would be nice.  Two would be amazing.

Repeating this over and over doesn't make it any less dumb.

It's still just as dumb as the first time you said it (which is MUCHO btw).

Well, then stop quoting me if you don’t like what I got to say and stop bothering me. I said 1 million times it’s my opinion if you don’t like it that’s great enjoy it. Enjoy your great trade.

I like it when Spazman folds his arms and pouts and says he'll never be convinced otherwise.  Same thing my toddler does, it's pretty adorable when he does it.  I'm not sure it's adorable from a grown man, though, but I bet it's probably hilarious.

I asked to be convinced many times. There’s nothing that convinced me that at the time of the trade it was a good trade. I am done freaking talking about this. You guys are borderline harassing me.

Norby at 8HRs, 2 today against the Phillies.

Certainly happy for him. He’s getting a chance to play. We obviously didn’t need offense. It’s nice to have that extra minor-league depth on the pitching staff that we got for him.

Norby wouldn’t be getting at bats here. He’d have the Mayo role. And we’d all be complaining as to why we didn’t trade him.

I totally agree he wouldn’t be getting them. But I think he’s a more polished hitter than mayo at this point. Mayo most definitely has potential to be a better hitter, but Norby has looked better.  I’m not sure about Mayo’s  stance long term. And defensively they both aren’t that good but I think Norby may have potential will be a little bit better.

Mayo’s issue is his glove. Norby doesn’t have the same issue. 

You don’t know that Norby has the same problem. He might be a little bit better, but he’s not good at any position. But like I said in the previous post, I think he has the most potential to become a better defender.

      O’s look done

      By HardlyRocked · Posted

      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 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.  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.

      O's .300 hitters

      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.

      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.

      Sure, but let's be real, he isn't the team's best power hitter. You didn't need to talk him up like that.

      I cannot say I am a fan of this move by the O's (being available to be claimed) considering the scrubs they have started recently.   At the very least he was a good middle reliever.

      I can’t speak to recently, but on the year, the O’s have the 6th-fewest looking strikeouts in MLB.   They’ve struck out looking 270 times, and league average is 300.   (Interestingly, through yesterday there were exactly 9,000 looking strikeouts in MLB this year.)
