David Price is like if Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige, Sandy Koufax, Walter Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and Randy Johnson all had a kid together. I mean, he is that good.

The Orioles will never have a pitcher this good. I mean, never.

Did you see what he did tonight? It was like God himself was on the mound. In fact, I'm pretty sure if God wanted to play baseball, he'd try to be like David Price.

I was particularly impressed by that time, in the 4th inning, where he made Tropicana Field shake as though an earthquake was happening. Then he struck out Nick Markakis on two pitches, both of which Nick took, and the ump called balls. He's that good; he changes the rules and space and time with his mind.

Remember that Green Tiger thing that He-Man used to ride?

Pretty sure David Price kills them with his bare hands, then sells the pelts to raise money for the waning Brazilian Forests. Then he fillets them and sends the green tiger steaks to starving children in Botswana.

When He-Man objects, Price intervenes, "Yo dude... you don't have the power. Clearly I have all the conceivable power on the planet, so knock it off with that sword / lightning thing."

Ken Burns just announced he's putting out another addition to his Baseball series all about David Price.

I hear that it's so long that they'll have to start it this year just to finish by the time Price is inducted into the Hall of Fame. :D

But Ken Burns believes he should be traded for Fielder. ;)

    • Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off. 
    • I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.
    • As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did. 
    • The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.
    • Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen 
    • Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
    • Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
