Yep, both of those two facts have been posted, just buried in other threads.

Is Pache the all time Oriole batting leader?   He was 1/1.   Do we have any other 1.000 career Orioles?

Doesn’t count …not enough at bats to qualify 🤗

Was hoping he'd slip through since our CF depth isn't all that great, but oh well. 

Now we wait to see about Cole Irvin.

We could get any AAAA CF who can’t hit and you’d be no worse off. I’m betting there are guys in the independent leagues that could hit .180 in the bigs.

I'm honestly surprised that someone claimed him, even the fire-sale Miami Marlins.  He is an abysmal hitter.  I said it not too long ago, but when your career batting stats make César Izturis seem like Ted Williams by comparison, you really don't belong on a major league roster.  ANYONE'S major league roster.

I heard the theory that the Phillies made us take him so we were on the books for paying the last third of his contract.  The Orioles took him with both teams knowing he was getting cut.

Nah, he was making the minimum and was clearly going to get claimed by a non-contender as a former top prospect. Would have liked to see what the O's could have done with him over the offseason and spring training. I can't imagine the Marlins of all teams will be the team to fix him.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By Frobby · Posted

      I have a feeling that Irvin will do better in another organization than he did with us.  It seemed like the O’s were trying to make him into something he wasn’t, chasing higher velo, etc.   Also, I don’t think Brandon Hyde really believed in him.  We’ll see next year.

      Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?

      O's .300 hitters

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!
