BP has updated its projected standings based on its PECOTA projections:

BOS 94-68

NYY 92-70

TBR 91-71

BAL 79-83

TOR 71-91

A season like that would be pretty interesting for the O's all the way through August. Heck, even September would be interesting, with the O's playing a lot of games that month vs. the 3 teams vying for the playoffs.

By the way, I still feel these projections have a strong disconnect between OPS and runs scored.

The most impressive stat to me is the .458 SLG - tied with NYY and BOS for second in the league (Texas first) and just ahead of Tampa. That's good progress on the offensive side - especially considering the budget disparity.

I see that as the absolute, average, meh of our moving forward. If we finished with 79 wins, I would be happy, and sad, but still hopeful for 2011.

I picked the opposite record, 83-79. I think we have enough smart young players to perform above expectations. The parts are greater than the sum. Then the sum will be greater than the parts. If you get my drift...

I've said before... I'll take 6 guys with the real potential to hit 20 HRs over two guys with the potential to hit 30+, every day and twice on Sunday.

Second most runs allowed in the AL. Obviously they don't think the pitching will be any better.

Why should they when Guthrie is below average, Millwood could very well fall that way as well, Bergenson is coming off a serious leg injury and now has another injury hurdle to overcome, and Matusz and Tillman are essentially unknown rookies yet to complete anything close to a full major league season?:confused:

Nobody should expect anything else if you are objective about it. The pitching could be every bit as bad as last season on at least in the neighborhood.

Since I can still see your posts... truce. For like 5 minutes.

Fair question.

What did you think of Jim Palmer in 1965?

I laugh at any system that can't see the obvious: Tampa's window has closed and ain't nothing gonna open it again.

;)

Might want to take a look at this thread...

It's going to be pretty hard for them to compete with a sub $60 million dollar payroll in the future...

They might have one more year, but then they are done.

I thought Palmer was tall, lanky and has a nice pitching motion. I also was mad at him because he spent nearly a minute explaining why he didn't have time to sign my autograph while walking into old RFK stadium before a game with the Senator whereas the pitcher walking just ahead of him (John Miller) never said a word but scribbled his John Hancock on a piece of paper for me. Ultimately, I got a guy's autograph who never made it in the majors and a bunch of baloney from a future HOFer. How's that for an answer?:laughlol:

Reps given. :P

But I'm sure you see what I'm asking. Did you have the same Doom and Gloom predictions as you do for EVERY one of our young guys as you profess on the OH?

I mean seriously! Did you believe they were the same POS team as you see heading into 2010? Every young guy failing, and veteran Nick too?

And if not... what exactly made you so pathetically jaded? I mean... I've seen some sad fans over the years but you take the cake!

      Elias taking accountability

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.

      O’s look done

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I wonder if last night was kind of a face saving tipping point though. Kimbrel and/or Eloy are easy famous names if Elias wants to "get serious" about optics. Not anything involving any of the long term chosen ones obviously.

      Really hoping the Minnesota series means nothing. I don’t care what seed they get right now..just get in. They aren’t any better at home than they are away. If you can have your spot clinched by Minnesota, I want to see them rest as many guys as possible for those games.

      Parsing words I think "the testing of our depth" part is as close as Elias will come to critiquing Holliday and Mayo. I believe the club prides itself on its ability to prepare Bats to be ready to stay up, etc., but I do wonder if Sig Mejdal's "leading, bleeding edge" has made substitutes for actual MLB competition less effective than they have been in recent years. As awful as this run is, I've seen some comments a big off-season is ahead, but I'm not sure I agree.     There's nothing to do next April but play the guys you've planted your flag on.      Adley, Ryan, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, Kjerstad and Mayo is I think about as set an Opening Day lineup as you can find inching towards the winter.    Tommy Pham will be available for free next summer if somebody can't play. Certainly some interesting day to day calls for however long this year's ride the club can hold on for.    Prospect growth is not linear, and it still isn't impossible Holliday or Mayo will display some in the next 2 weeks.     Mayo can take dozens of at bats a day against Hurter with easy access to the Trajekt machine at home.

      Mullins swing in a 3-2 count at a pitch that started at his shins and just was never a strike was telling. They are pressing beyond pressing, obviously. I'm just not seeing any spark from anywhere. They look tired.
