I hear ya.

I feel bad for DT on a personal level.

It really sucks being in his position no matter what u do for a living.

He's fighting for his life.

He threw Pie under the bus the other day and today it's the umpire.

If you listened to the interview, DT answered a direct question from Viviano. He said Pie ran us out of an inning, he did, and he said Scott hung Wigginton out to dry, he also did.

As for the umpire, he was acting it out. He wants his team to get fired up.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million

      I agree with all of this but I also believe you took winning for granted. You argued with me in the offseason when I said this team could win as low as 88 games. You said no way, they are too talented, etc…you never wanted to take injuries into account. You felt the depth was too good, etc… Part of the reason you are lost, imo, is because you didn’t feel this scenario existed for this team.

      This is funny. The Guardians were 12th in HR and 14th in scoring.  I guess their run scoring w/out HR wasn't that great. Seven of the top 10 teams in HR made the playoffs with AZ being one of the ones that didn't.

      Two Bergmans wouldn't be the worst thing to have. In case one gets his hand broke by a HBP or something.

      It's baseball the way good teams play it. Been played that way before and will be played that way again and again and hopefully in Baltimore next year and beyond. Not easy to do but quite effective. Man I wish we had a Kwan (hear me Holliday???????)

      SSS   CLE BA was .238. BAL .250. OBP for CLE was .308 and for BAL it was .315.    The Orioles terrible at bats in the playoffs are on the players.
