Rafael Palmeiro has the HOF numbers but no chance of gong into the Hall. He is one of only seven players in MLB history to be a member of both the 500 home run club (569) and the 3,000 hit club, (3020) He also has 586 doubles

  • @selfwitness
    @selfwitness Před 17 dny

    Your points are absolutely right on. It’s unpopular to criticize the Orioles because the fans of nowadays haven’t had this success. I am from the time when they did nothing but win - Frank and Boog and four 20 game winner days until 1983, after which I stopped watching for a while. Those teams used to scare the other teams to death in offense and steel trap defense, even the 1982-83 teams. We don’t actually have that now, nor that kind of management to make great trades (yes, I said it - look it up and you’ll see I am right), or managing in a championship manner (examine it and see the differences, you’ll see). It’s one thing to ride an overachieving team (I never thought I would say that), and another thing to lead them as if they are champions. Weaver and Altobelli could handle gigantic achievers, and treated them as men. We don’t have that kind of leadership now. The pitchers are not given enough confidence to pitch out of jams, as an example. Platoon, ok - but do it with some logic. Stowers gives it all he has got and he is played once. Anyway, it makes no sense to bury our heads in the sand.

    • @birdlandnetwork83
      @birdlandnetwork83 Před 17 dny

      Great comments and thank you for watching, I will say I think this team is extremely talented. Adley, Gunnar, Westburg, Grayson, Bradish, Stowers, Holliday, and more help to make this team a contender. I just think that guys like Mullins and Hays shouldn't be given a long leash based off prior numbers that.....to be honest.....weren't really that good. I have confidence in this team but the hitting has to turn around. Remember we only have Burnes for one season. We need to take advantage of that and try to win it all. We definitely have the talent.

    Ur right Cedric would've scored if he was 2/3 of way to second but not passed it. He has been a way different guy than the played who carried us a few years ago. Way too many strikeouts & pop outs for speedy guy. I think he has focused on trying to hit bombs every time. A couple spectacular defensive plays early this season have overshadowed his underachieving year.

    • @birdlandnetwork83
      @birdlandnetwork83 Před 17 dny

      Cedric really hasn't come close to those numbers since that season. Actually his numbers across the board have declined over the past two seasons and into this season. Whether it's injuries or just performance, either way he's not performing and at some point a decision will have to be made. Hays too. Santander is a free agent at the end of the season so I'm assuming he's not coming back.

ARod has a defensive WAR of 10.4 which is 241st so in some respects ARod wasn't the better fielder. At least that's what the numbers say. I love these conversations. Nobody is technically wrong.

I can't figure out what is happening and I don't think ANY of them have attitude problems. These guys are all winners and workers and team players. It must be hard for you to make a video like this when you also know their character. All top notch. Baseball is a humbling game, but I've seen great success stories come out of failures. I don't know what the future holds but I know it is bright for the Orioles. I would love to see those 3 veterans open up a can of whoop-@$$ in 2024 and help win the World Series and go out with the blaze of glory they brought to the club!

    • @birdlandnetwork83
      @birdlandnetwork83 Před 25 dny

      Enrique Bradfiled (still a couple years away) this year's draft pick is the player they're hoping will be our next center fielder. Look up his metrics. He actually rates higher than Mullins in Fielding and Running. He's and 80 grade in both which is the highest grade you can get. To be honest I don't need a tremendous CF I just need someone who is good and can get to balls but also produce offensively. I Mullins' only contribution is his defense then he becomes a pinch runner/late inning defensive replacement and that's not good for someone making of 6MIL a year. Plus I think Cowser is a CF and he would do just fine. Of course he needs to start hitting again too, but he gets a pass as a rookie. Thanks for the comments and for watching

      That's the rub. I agree defense will be compromised if Mullins, Hays and Santander are replaced. That being said Cowser or Stowers can play a very good left or center to help make up for it. If you're a huge defensive guy then Mullins and company are your cup to tea. I tend to feel their defense is awesome but not elite enough to allow for the major offensive struggles we've seen from them. Can't have it all. Those are called Hall of Famers!! These guys aren't that.

  • @danield8994
    @danield8994 Před 26 dny

    I am very pleased that you included spray charts to valudate your point. My opinion is that for the last three seasons, beginning in July Mullins and Hayes start pulling the ball and stop trying to hit the ball to yhe opposite field. It leads to strikeouts and weak infield popups. I think they are doing this because they are in the arbitration years of thier contract. More power stats, more money. I think Hayes will come on strongfot the next month or two. Just like he did during the beginning of last year, he will focus on hitting the other way. Hopefully, he can maintain that team first focus and with more outfield depth, stay healthy. That said, I think Hayes will likely be traded away at the deadline. I have no idea about Mullins. Why did he stop bunting to get on base? Jim Palmer talks about Cedric's approach when he doesn't use the whole field. Mullins must know and he is certainly capable of hitting to all fields and bunting more to increase his OBP. Its his attitude. I like Hayes and Mulins. The past 2.25 years has proven that you can't trust them to be available or for what they will produce offensively. They don't offer much position flex as "established veterans". Then there is Santander who will be a free agent and historically, he goes into prolonged slumps against RHP. He also provides big hits, power and at this point in time, the Orioles don't have anyone to fill his production and veteran intangibles in the lineup. That said, CF is my concern. I think Stowers & Cowser will get a shot at earning the starting position. (Send Mullins to Florida to get his mind right and convince him to buy into an offensive approach that will be good for him and improve the teams chances at winning).

      All very good points. Thank you for the insight and for watching.

    Kyle Stowers has played 110 innings on CF this year at AAA. This is signicantly more than he has in the past. It seems Elias has been preparing for this move just in case Mullins struggled or injured.

      Not sure why Stowers is up. They called him up yesterday and both Yesterday and today the Blue Jays are starting right handers and yet Stowers is not in the lineup. So even with Mullins, Cowser, Santander and Hays struggling they are not putting him in the lineup. That said...I'm sure he'll start the afternoon finale against Toronto.

      I think we will see Kyle Stowers get starts in CF. I have no idea who they trust more in CF, Stowers or Cowser. But, historically in the minor leagues Stowers has been able to hit LHP sufficiently to be an everyday player. Elias said when they drafted Stowers that they believe he can play CF. That is the extent of my data on Stowers in CF. All he needs to do is hit .240-.260 while maintaining his power numbers and don't have a, negative runs saved stat in CF. Supposedly Stowers is close with Adley. I think they are going to give him a true opportunity to win the CF job. I hope Stowers has developed a better two strike approach to foul off more pitches and hit some opposite field singles. The big swings are majestic. Sometimes the team will need him to do the little things to win.

    They should fire the manager, trade everyone and start over

    Mullins, Hayes, Mateo, Urias are all either pinch runners/defense sub at the end of games or need to go. We need to stop bringing up prospects just to have them sit. The damage its doing to their mindsets is unforgiveable.

      I agree to a point. The Orioles are trying to win. It would be extremely risky to have a team full of 1st or 2nd year guys trying to win a championship. Veteran leadership is important but only to a degree. That veteran leadership also has to produce. So I think having four guys that are just reserves like that is way too many and Mullins/Hays will get their chances to turn their seasons around. We need the leadership and experience for the stretch run and playoffs. That said your point is a good one and I think next year those four may be elsewhere or have limited roles.

    The Orioles are set to have a ton of top prospects coming through the system. They will all need to play somewhere, whether we keep them, or ship them out. The roster will be changing dramatically. It's amazing that we're going thru what we have, with the best record in the American league

      It's a good problem to have but one that won't last forever. The window to win opens and shuts quickly sometimes. If the Orioles are going to trade some of these guys it needs to be the right ones and for the right player. Remember the Andrew Miller trade a few years back?
