And yet Markakis went 2-4 with a double off of him. If David Price is the best pitcher ever to play the game and Nick still got 2 hits off of him including that double that must make Nick Markakis the greatest player to ever put on a uniform! It's true!

Game set and match to the Duffman.

O's hitters are like dogs. When you're playing with them, you have to let them win now and then or they'll lose interest and stop playing.

Sorry, but Nick didn't hit any opposite field homers off Price, so he's worthless.

... looks like the stud muffin was not so great, if Matusz is not so great.

This might be true but based on this game Nick is projected to hit atleast 500 over the remainder of his career. I would think it would be higher because of the nights he faces someone other than Price.

You could combine Matusz, Arietta, and Tillman as one hybrid pitcher (in theory) and they still wouldn't have the pure stuff that Price has. He is future HOF material (if he stays healthy) from what I have seen. On the same level as Strasburg. This lad appears ready to dominate the AL over the next 10 years. He is also the type of pitcher who can thrive in the playoffs and WS.

This just about does it for me...

Make fun all you want, but in all seriousness have you ever heard Jim Palmer (no less) rave about any major league pitcher the way he was talking up Price last night? I know I sure haven't. Same with Dempsey. I mean the one quote Palmer even started out with "No disrespect to Brian Matusz but Price has the kind of arm you spend that kind of money on" (I forget how many millions he stated).

Anyway, this kid made the best Orioles hitters like Markakis and Jones look really bad flailing away and strikeing out on pitches that weren't even close to being strikes. His stuff is so dominant it reminds me of Vida Blue in his prime (I know many of you won't recall watching him but some of you do like Frobby).

At any rate, it is beyond clear that the Orioles have nobody on their major league roster, minor league pipeline, or even a potential number three draft pick that comes close to the talent and dominance of someone like Price or Strasburg. They are both on completely different planes when it comes to talent.

Dempsey said the same thing in his post game comments (paraphrasing) that what separates the Rays from the Orioles is exceptional players and talent like Longoria and Price who the Orioles simply have nobody of that quality on their roster nor in their organization.

Vida Blue?

Thanks for your permission to keep making fun of you. Not that I (or anyone else) really needed it.

Well gee, tell me something I didn't know. If I didn't know any better I would have thought you'd have to contact NASA to find that out and run the tests.:rolleyes:

Other than wins and innings, Bedard's 2007 was arguably better than Price has been this year.

Better ERA+, FIP, K/9, BB/9, H/9

If you want to just argue stuff...I haven't watched Price enough to really know him and obviously I've heard good things...but man Bedard had some good stuff.

This says nothing of what Price can become, or year to year consistency and durability. I don't know what you mean by "as good as" and I'm sure the definition will change as you need it to, but if we had someone do just as good only 3 years ago I'm pretty sure we can get another if our time limit is "ever."

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Angelos did fight the relocation.  He voted against, lobbied against it, withheld permission to adjust TV territories, and threatened to sue if not fairly compensated.  As long as the team was compensated for the loss of broadcast exclusivity, I don’t think he had any other case. From all reports, he drove a hard bargain and it took like 9 months to negotiate a compensation and settlement agreement. There was a wide discrepancy among various parties about what constituted just compensation with Angelos taking more pessimistic views of the impact of the Nats franchise and less optimistic view on MASN. Also, MASN was in perpetuity not temporary.  In hindsight, MASN probably didn’t provide the revenue protection intended because of how the dispute played out and how the RSN market collapsed, but that’s in hindsight. Overall, Angelos “won” the MASN dispute (at least the RSDC process) more than he lost it - the Nationals advocated for rights fees intentionally designed to bankrupt MASN but the RSDC didn’t use their comps. Overall, I think it’s fair to say that relocating a team to DC has hurt the Baltimore club’s market size and ability to fund a top-10 payroll.   HOWEVER, had the Nats not come to DC, the specter of an Orioles relocation to DC would have been hanging over our heads especially as Peter’s health declined, the stadium aged, and the lease approached. Peter would never have moved, but are we sure JA would turn down a higher offer of say $2.3BN offer from Ted Leonsis or someone with the intent to move the club to DC? I think as an Orioles fan it’s probably best to have another team in DC than have to worry about the Orioles ever relocating there.

      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.
