Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1.

It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything. 

So, it doesn’t matter which list he is #1 on as long as it’s one list?    Fangraphs is clearly going to be an outlier.   It’s doubtful that Baseball America, Pipeline, ESPN, Just Baseball, The Athletic, etc., etc.  are going to have Basallo #1 based on previous rankings.

Fangraphs is the same place that didn’t have Cowser in our top 10.

I’ll give you a half pat on the back because someone had Basallo #1.   The full pat on the back comes when another major site does it.

I think I saw he was 13th on the MLB list.

Me neither.  After how bad our so called top prospects have looked recently, our guys are getting inflated stats in the minors.  

I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t know how to tell if our guys are getting inflated stats in the minors compared to the same competition in the same leagues…are their stats inflated, too?

I’m exhausted from hyping these guys and having them come up and not produce right away. I mean, we complained about Gunnar in 2023, but he made it look easy compared to what Holliday went through this summer.  Mayo had a small sample size in comparison but he was completely awful. 
 

So whoop-dee-damn-doo.  Another #1 prospect. I’m sure Basallo will be fine after we have to suffer watching his first 200 at bats in the big leagues.

Yea, I'm at the same line of thinking.  The prospects coming up just don't excite me after this year's struggles.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By waroriole · Posted

      I can see them pursuing him and I wouldn’t be against it. But anyone who thinks he’s signing for 4/120, or that there’s a big FA SP class, needs a better editor.

      Roch is an idiot. Criticizing the fanbase at a time like now is ridiculous. 1 run in 2 games? Cmon man.    Also, nobody asks for that stupid emcee to get the crowd excited, that’s strictly for tv purposes.

      I was there and there was nothing to get remotely excited about except for 5 minutes in the 5th inning. Stupid swings at the plate, lack of hitting in RISP. Cleveland scored more run before they recorded an out today than we did in 2 full games at home. Let that sink in. Our team is full of chokers that don’t handle pressure well or rise to the occasion.

      This really only works if you're looking at 2 years of data.  Look at 4 years of data and suddenly Burnes looks like a vastly better bet.  Burnes has had an era under 3 for 3 out of the last 4 seasons plus the covid year.  Musgrove only 1 prior to signing the deal.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I survived the decade plus losing years, I’m fairly hard to disappoint at this age. That said, I think they can change some things up in spring training - small ball stuff isn’t hard to add to the arsenal. I think they O’s may add a FA or two or resign one or two of our own guys in the winter. I don’t think we will ever throw money around like the Yanks or Dodgers, but I do believe ownership will invest more than the previous crew. All I was saying is I hope Elias starts to tackle some of the changes he talked about to push the rebuild to the next level. I do agree I’ll not be able to evaluate any potential changes until this time next year.

      https://www.masnsports.com/orioles-rss/some-wild-card-leftovers-and-lingering-thoughts-as-playoffs-proceed-without-orioles Roch pointing out the lack of attendance in the playoff games and lower energy level from the fans that were there. Maybe the fans just matched the team’s energy level the last 3 months? They were lifeless and witnessed what happened in the WC all too often from July-September. They went 1-13 with RISP, had 2 real XBH’s, and 1 run in 18 innings. The Guardians scored 2 runs 4 batters into their series. The team gave the fans little to cheer for from July on - the attendance and energy level just reflected that and the general discontent that this year’s team brought, even though there’s no shame in a 91 win season.
