I know, Rogers isn't good and the bullpen sucks, but these guys need to figure out a way to start scoring runs. Over the past two months, we have a few crooked number innings. Earlier, this was considered the most feared lineup in baseball. What happened?

The average major league team scores 6.18 runs per game when it wins, 2.65 when it loses.  And loses half the time. The Orioles have scored 6.49 runs per game when they win, 3.00 when they lose.

What are you guys talking about?  On the year, the O’s have scored 5.04 runs/game, 3rd in MLB.  Since the all star break, 5.30 runs per game.  In August, 4.71 runs/game. News flash: to they’re not goi

I think the runs per game thing is misleading.  A big run output once a week puffs up that average and covers up how anemic this team is the rest of the week  Next to bullpen ERA, I think it’s on

As others have pointed out, we have eyes. If you don't think this offense isn't struggling, I don't know what to say. This is not the same offense we saw earlier in the season.

I think the offense is better than last year, the difference is they are not as good in close and late games.  The O's offense last year always seemed to come thru when needed, or at least the majority of the time.  So they were winning a lot of 5-4, 4-3 etc games.  This year, the team is losing the same games but overall scoring more runs.  For example, win a game, 8-2, and then lose a game 4-3.  So the O's are scoring extra add on runs but not getting more wins.

Peterson is very good, and Edwin Diaz has been himself lately. Butto has also been elite since transferring to the pen. I’ll give the O’s a pass for being lackluster with the bags tonight.

And the umpire was very one sided with his calls.  Kind of hard to hit when pitches way off the plate are called strikes.

He may have slightly favored the Mets, but I thought he was pretty off on both sides. Either way, hard to hit with a zone like that.

Here's some interesting numbers for you numbers people...

Run differential in the last 50 games:

Orioles: -29

Astros: +68

Ah yes, run differential, that classic offense only stat.

Next to bullpen ERA, I think it’s one of those statistics that doesn’t mean much

To wit- since the all star break, runs allowed in losses have been:

3,6,6,6,9,8,10,8,5,7,2,9,12,5,4

What does that prove? I’m not sure, but I’d be really happy if my team were scoring that and not so happy if they were giving it up.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      ZiPS being an inhuman thing incapable of recency bias is not much out on Holliday.    It only dings his 2025-2029 forecast WAR by about 3% today relative to what it was forecasting this spring. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/reassessing-the-future-for-this-seasons-disappointing-rookies/ Jackson Holliday’s numbers didn’t take a big hit for a few reasons. First, and most importantly, despite a really lousy debut in the majors, he played well enough in the minors — plus he’s so young and his résumé is so strong — that his small-sample struggles barely register. By reverse-o-fying Holliday’s major league woes into an untranslated minor league line and including it in his overall Triple-A production, ZiPS estimates that he would’ve had a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A this season, down from his actual mark of 142. A 20-year-old shortstop with a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A would still top everybody’s prospect list.

      Kjerstad should also get some reps in at first so he can be an option there as well, although now is probably not the time, best for him to DH for the rest of the season. He had 8 starts at first at AAA this season and 37 starts there between AA and AAA in 2023.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.
