I'm hated in my friend group right now bc when I saw the Adley TikTok videos with his new girl doing Carls jr reviews in the early part of his elongated slump, I stated very clearly he sux now bc he's a Simp. 

He is a huge Simp now and a narcissist girl can absolutely destroy a life, which I think is the case here

Been using terms like "Sadly Buttman," "Simply Suxmann," Adley with another "Simp Job" etc etc. Also, Adley is such a simp in juxtaposition to the badassness if McCann too

Trade him this offseason for pitching, resign McCann (who I have nicknamed Downtown James) and start grooming Basallo for the job 

 

 

 

Sounds like I would like your friends.

I really, really, really hope at the end of the season we hear that he was playing hurt for the second half. It's not just his offense, but his defense has seriously declined as well. If he's been healthy, then Basallo may take over faster than we thought. He and Gunnar both started the all star game and haven't been the same since. Gunnar was on route to an MVP caliber season, and then just fell off a cliff. 

If he was hurt and didn't disclose it that is troubling. The team could have gotten someone else and perhaps he could have healed up by now. I know Hyde said that he was good to go after he sat out with back trouble.

If he isn't injured more than normal catcher wear and tear, his declining skills will cost his bank account dearly. I hope he can get back to being the player he was.

To be fair, since Gil's career OPS is .613, (only .28 points higher than Adley's second half .585) its almost a certainty that Gil spent plenty of time hitting quite a bit worse.  In 2005, for example, his OPS was just .532.

I think we can both agree we'd prefer to have neither this version of Adley nor Geronimo Gil...

That's true. I guess it would be bad if he had an injury that they DID know about and did nothing.

    • What would be the point of his the team option if it had no meaning?
    • Go read the OP again.  I did not say be let go.  I said the O's probably don't need to pay him 8m for this option.   He will earn less in arbitration IMO. MLBTR are projecting the Mounty will get 6.6m in arbitration.   O'Hearn as a platoon player with less defensive ability  will probably earn less then that in arbitration.
    • Go back as read the OP.   Not picking up O'Hearn's option has nothing to do with whether he is on the team or not.   He is not a free agent this off season.    He has not reached 6 years of service time.  He is arb eligible.    Why would the O's pick up the option for 8m whether he probably makes 5.5m in arbitration?
    • Yeah this isn't really worth arguing about and I sort of agree with you, but I can't ignore Adley being terrible for 3 months, Gunnar also going through a mini slump the past couple of weeks, Cowser just being Jekyll and Hyde throughout the season, and Santander's overall lack of plate discipline.   On top of that the O's have been flat out dominated by some good starters the past few months -- the game against Snell is a good example.  And then they've also been shut down by some no name starters like that Cannon guy on the White Sox.   This just isn't a team that has played confident baseball for a long time except maybe after winning their last 5 of 6 -- but even in those games the Yankees were not playing all out and the Twins looked like they had given up. But in terms of pressure, we do have to give credit to the O's pitchers.  They were very good and seemed to handle the pressure well.  Maybe KC isn't that great of a hitting team overall, but the pitchers did a much better job handling playoff pressure than last season.  It makes me want Burnes back even more though I know it's unlikely.
    • Obviously weed starting pitching. Need BP help too. I don’t think anyone in the organization is untouchable at this point. If Tony goes, we have to go out and get a real right handed bat. Not a platoon bat.  we have too many left handed hitters. We don’t have anyone who can step in and be a solid Bat and play solid D. We have bad bats who can’t play D.  Which is why I think they try to keep Tony.
