It's not over yet, but my worst fear was when both the O's and the Astros got eliminated. IMO, they were the only two teams that could have beaten them. Their losses created a clear path for Yankees to the WS. Say what you want, but the Yankees don't lose to teams like KC when it matters most. The only team that I'm confident that will beat them is the Dodgers. The Mets are a good story, but I think there's still that "big brother/little brother relationship with them. 
 

Back to the O's. Not only that, but our farm system isn't as good as it's been over the last couple of years. There's massive question marks about our young talent. Will they ever reach their potential/hype? Who's going to replace Burnes, assuming we don't re-sign him? Who's going to replace Santander's offense? We can also expect the AL East to be overall better next year. 
 

I know we had a better overall team than the Yankees, despite all of the injuries. It's very frustrating watching THIS Yankees team, that's not elite at all, on the cusp of yet another WS when we were setup a lot better than they were over the last couple of years.

Are you old enough to remember !976, 77, and 78? you must have been quite The KC fan. Of course you got paid in 1980. Rooting for other teams to lose BS, even its the Skanks.


I'll root for whoever I want to lose, thank you. But since you brought it up. Who doesn't root for the Yankees to lose?

I have two favorite teams.   The Os and whoever is playing the Yankees.   If that's wrong,  then I don't want to be right.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      I’m ok with Slater but I think they need to get a RHH or two that are better than Mountcastle.

      Actually what Elias said supports my comment very well. Melewski:  One potential critique for the offense is the Orioles are too reliant on the home runs and slugging.  Moving forward do you think that Is a valid critique?  Does there need to be more variety? Whether its on base or other ways to score? Elias: I definite experienced the frustration of that.  Who didn't.  I've been around baseball and a lot of the very best information out there in baseball my entire life and career. And getting hits, getting RBI with runners in scoring position.  There is a lot of evidence that can be hard to control on a year over year month to month basis. Its a tricky thing,  Hitting. That said I am going to behave like it is under our control and we are going to examine everything about our offensive approach, teachings, the mix of personnel, the kind of things that you mentioned.  And put ourselves in position to where we feel like we have addressed any shortcoming there. I don't necessarily believe its all chance.  I do think there are things our organization, and ultimately our players will be able to do to improve our odds on that front.   It's not a good experience going through that for months.  Where we are struggling to get runs in from second base.  That was not the case last year.  We were great at it.  With a lot of the same guys.  I have a lot of confidence that can correct next year.   Its going to involve some work by us. --------- Then his actions were to let the hitting coaches go.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Yeah but this goes for all the young guys, you only will get better with playing time and experience. He was the #2 pick in the draft and 1B/DH is currently occupied by Mounty and O’Hearn. We need Heston to hold down RF for at least one season.  As for the RHH, I think Slater is our guy. I saw something that he’s had the most pinch hits in mlb over the last 3-4 seasons.  That’s valuable in his role with all of the LHH we have. Even with his career worst 1st half, he still put up a .700+ OPS with us vs LHP.  With the new WC rules, and all these teams competing, I just expect everyone to be looking to buy, or at least “not sell”. I expect a thin market for buying.

      It's a .500 team. A starting rotation right now of Efflin, GRod (if healthy), Kremer, Povich, Rogers (?). Pretty much the same lineup that struggled for 3+ months. An above average bullpen, maybe awesome if Bautista comes back in form.  I'm guessing it's going to be a frustrating year without acquiring upgrades in the offseason.

      🤣 Ok …Kjerstad looks shaky on most every play. He’s been an OF for what  15 years. I just think he’s one of those guys that is who he is defensively.
