That is 100% Cowser's ball. Just a clown show play  Ben trying to blame Mayo on that is BS.  Cowser should have been calling for that. He has to catch that.  This Orioles defense just s

You had the chance to use COBY MAYO DAYO and you didn't. I'd delete my account in embarrassment.

I don't think it is an accident wholesale roster changes occurred in a short time, so I am curious this roadtrip if a new normal looks any different than the old normal.

Broadly, I kind of psychobabble heard Elias not showing big confidence in his young guys.

If Jackson Holliday were like Kobe Bryant (sorry, Coby Mayo), he'd already be bossing people around.

Santander or Burnes guys I'm curious if they step up their profiles.

We make at least two bad defensive plays a game.  Two.  Even if they are not called errors officially they are mistakes never the less.  

Soto looks like a nightmare.  

Phillies were probably very happy to get a prospect for player they were about to DFA.

Anyone still watching has to admit, this is one that can challenge even the most staunch supporter.

Looking forward to having the coaches work with this new team as a team. There are so many new faces to work with. For Adley too. Right now it feels like a hodgepodge stew and I’m confident we’ll play better but it will take time. Hopefully our record to date will give us the time to gel.

Hyde has his work cut out for him.

Maybe the pitch framing valuations don't count catcher framing enough.    Austin Hedges is better than Adley Rutschman.    Jose Trevino is better than Johnny Bench.

AR is a horrible framer.  Ranked 42nd.  In other words he is worse than half of the backups in MLB.

All of this is easier to stomach if you adjust your time horizon to next season. Soto, Dominguez, and Rogers get retooled during the offseason. The baby birds take their lumps now and have some chest hair by next season. We spend some money during the offseason. It's all in front of us.

Too much has gone wrong with this team this year. They are all pressing. Too many pitching injuries. Hitters are way too streaky. Hope all the young guys are ready to go next year. 

They are all too young.  All the stars except for Santander are babies.  They just seem tight.  Like the game isnt fun.  They make repeated mistakes over and over and over.  Maybe next year we win something.  But this year is a failure I think.  Its all going into the toliet.  If we make the playoffs I dont think we get past the first round no matter who we play.  Gunner will just make three errors a game until we lose.  Its what the kid does.

He called up Holliday before Westburg was hurt. How did he not show confidence in him?

If Jackson were like Kobe Bryant I'd be warning his wife to keep close tabs on 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.

      O's .300 hitters

      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!
