Ben with some legit knowledge there. Also, why can we not throw runners out? Burnes and Kimbrell suck at holding runners on.

I think Burnes has given up the most stolen bases in the majors and that was before this game.

The conversation with Gunnar defense has to start eventually. It’s his feet are always moving. When your feet are moving your head is bouncing.

Gunnar’s defense is just fine.  He may be feeling the pressure of being the best player on a very young team.  He makes plays that not many SS can make.  Cal made twice as many errors early in his career.

Gunnar reminds me of Machado in the sense that yeah, he can play SS, but it’s not really his position. I feel like we have an infield full of guys playing out of position.

I have seen nothing out of Holliday to make me think he is a wizard at short and his arm looks much weaker than Gunnar's. I have no idea how we got to this point defensively.

Would be super interesting to sit with a scout watching Burns pitch.  Looking solely at the data would be the absolute worst way to evaluate Burns.   He would be effective pitching for a team with a great defense.

So for all the moaning and groaning Burnes has actually lowered his ERA this outing. Though yes, I get the big moments concern.

Really, so he get's a pass for absolutely imploding after a lead off error?

It doesn't look like Holliday needs a couple months in the minors to figure out whatever this is...

It looks like he needs a couple years down there. Send him down and don't bring him back. I wouldn't even invite him to try out for big league spring training in '25. Try again in '26.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
