Dodgers were cheating and his hidden buzzer gave him the wrong info. Nothing to see. Move along.

He bet the over on his pitch count for that at-bat and wasn't sure he hit the total.

My guess is they'd rather move O'Hearn than Mountcastle, which should work for us as we need a lefty 1B option. It otherwise makes a lot of sense. I'm a proponent of doing a deal like that and resigning Kooch.

Framber for Holliday? Framber is a top tier starter for the last 3 years. Orioles need a front line guy badly.
Proven commodities come with a high price tag

I don't see the O's doing that for one year of Framber. They gave up less for Burnes, who is generally viewed as the better player. If you wanted to get funky they are a perfect fit for Yordan where you could get Holliday, Hjerstad and one of Mayo or Basallo. That wouldn't be popular but the reality is Altuve is a DH being stuffed at 2B and it's only going to get worse.

Probably in the minority here, but I'd personally be in favor of getting a huge haul of young talent from the O's, even if it's for Framber, Yordan, and/or Tucker. We need good, young talent that could eventually be cornerstone pieces for the future. Remember when we had a young Breggy, Correa, Springer, etc.

Way too rich. 1 year of Framber ain't gonna fetch that.

The Burnes trade is the perfect comp.
  • Joey Ortiz - 25 year old ready to play right away, 64th overall
  • DL Hall - 25 year old bullpen arm
  • 34th Draft Pick - turned into Blake Burke who struggled in High A.

A similar package would be LF/1B/DH Heston Kjerstad, a young arm like Cade Povich, and SS Griff O'Ferrall (O's 32nd overall pick).

I would only entertain trading Framber if it meant we reevaluate how we handle pitching overall and if we kept Kooch or signed someone similar.

At some point, I think something will come out on Ohtani. I get a really weird vibe with him. I don't think he's the boyscout everybody thinks he is.

I could be completely wrong, but that's just me.

Also, sign me up for Dodgers losing no matter what. I have never appreciated the fact that everybody has looked the other way with Betts and anybody associated with the Dodger org since 2017. I don't mind the Yankees (minus Soto). Honestly, with their play, they have earned it this year.

The problem is that the Os took the young talent route, and so far, it has earned them two playoff appearances with zero games in the division series. Taking on the pieces they're willing to part with for 3 of the best players in baseball seems like a poor strategy.

I am waffling on who I want to lose more. I think it'll be a gut feeling when the series likely takes place.

I'm thinking more in terms of 2026 and beyond rather than next season. I'd rather get talent for the assets we have (especially Tucker and Framber) before we lose them and get nothing like we did with Correa and Springer (and now probably Bregman).

Whenever I waffle with this, I think of Joe Kelly's smug ass little face. Then I say "Go Yankees!".

It's not that hard.

Just repeat after me. "****. The. Dodgers."

If they make it that's the choice to hate. If they don't, then hate the Mets.

But the first one is easy.

We did not get nothing for them. We got their play on the field for as long as we could and well as comp picks. Do you think we make the CS in 2020 without Springer? The WS in 2021 without Correa? The postseason at all in 2024 without Bregman?

Springer - Chase McDermott (who we flipped for Mancini... oops)
Correa - Andrew Taylor (36th org rank, 2 so so years in A and A+)
Bregman - TBD

Mets are a distant 3rd out of the remaining 4.

I'm surprised they aren't going to change the name to Occidental field given all those dang logo patches all over the players

Why does an oil company need to market like that?

isn't the Daikin plant in Waller something like one of the biggest Sheetmetal structures, or concrete slabs in the state or united states? I could have swore I heard something about when it was built that it was one of a kind in something of that nature?

They wanted $15m per year, for 10 years.

Hard to make that make sense for any brand that isn't selling internationally.
