So, you'll change your mind once it goes sour?

I pretty much feel the same way geschinger does....I am willing to go along with the move because at least it shows that they care about DT having someone he wants.

Now, the other side to that is Crowley is staying and they want Kranitz...Well, they both also have the connection to AM. If DT isn't retained after next year, i think both of these guys may stay for the new manager.

BTW, if Kranitz is such a hot commodity, maybe he could become the "new Mazzone"....IE the next great pitching coach.

Jeez, SG, don't play the doofus... *why* is he staying?

Because DT thinks he's the Hitting Professor?

Or because of something else?

AM wants him here...Why? I don't know. It really doesn't matter why IMO.

Whatever they think is the reason is a bit much IMO because he has failed for 9 years.

What happened to Trembley picking his own staff? Does he want Crow back or is it just McPhail/Angelos?

I didn't want Mazzone gone but if DT and AM believe this to be the right move, then i will back them on it for now.

So, you'll change your mind once it goes sour?

Like everybody else won't?

Imagine that Leo goes somewhere and has great results... and imagine that the O's pitching is less-than-wonderful at the same time... what do you think everybody is gonna say? I don't know what you think would happen, but I imagine that the folks who are saying "good riddance" now would be having a major fit then. (Don't you?)

      In a nonsave situation, Mike Baumann was tagged with an unearned run Sunday in 26-pitch ninth inning to seal Seattle's 5-1 win in a three-game sweep of the Angels. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-mariners/2024/06/02/745252/final

      So would Kjerstad, Norby or Mayo man center?

      Are we really sure that Vieira would be claimed.  I remember the O's have hung on to guys for dear life and then when they are DFA'ed, no one wants them.

      Maybe he’s throwing shade at somebody who hijacks every game thread.

      And hader, with the second biggest contract in reliever history, is 19th in average annual value just in current contracts (Diaz is 17th). There are 4 relief pitchers in the top 50 pitchers in annual salary (and that’s if you go by spotrac calling Kyle Hendricks a reliever, which he hasn’t been). Which tells you how mlb values starters vs relievers. If you have a chance to get even a  mid rotation starter, chances are it’s more valuable than very good high leverage relievers. They pitch a ton more innings that impacts the team more.  Relievers are volatile, and don’t exactly have longer shelf lives despite the lower inning workload.    if you get a pitcher with good enough stuff that can be a starter, you can always fall back on them being relievers if they don’t make it as starters. Taking someone with no starter potential limits their upside. That’s not what I want with an early pick. I’ll take all the sharkey types in later rounds, but if I get Brecht, I want him in the minors trying to be a starter as long as they think he can be one.

      All right I'll pull that back, he does only have a decent shot at his best year. the rest of the season has not happened yet, hell tomorrow could be his last game. I dont like sewing together partial seasons either. Last year half season started with July and August being a scorch fest followed by a cold September which featured shoulder problems and an IL stint. he does have one constant though, the defense is turning Elite. Yes bad AB today, but the more I look at him the more I see what his supporters see. I'm starting to come around to him.

      Hey everyone! I’m so sorry that I’m late in getting the results accumulated and a winner announced. I haven’t had time to login to the Hangout in probably 10 days or so due to life and work.  I’ll tally up the entries and post the winner this week, hopefully within the next day or two.
