Why are the O's obsessed with Fujinami?

 

Just used him in a 1 run game. Walked two. Gave up the tying run.

Bullpen was thin today unfortunately, cost them the game. That sucks.

The Jays began the day as the 2nd WC team, and could end the day out of the playoffs entirely with a loss. That's how close this thing is. Thankfully 7 of the last 10 games for SEA/TEX are against each other, so someone is going to have to lose those games.

They're ran by Olerud.

 

Yeah I've learned from Olerud that the Orioles are the perfect organization that can do no wrong so having Fujinami throw away winnable games is some sort of 8 dimensional chess.

Damn. Riley Greene surgery now on that diving catch a few weeks back.

All I have to root for these last couple weeks is 6 WAR Zack Gelof

I really wish we had access to catch probability

 

Outman with an outstanding catch - with the bases juiced that would have cleared the bases for sure

If they split their games 4-3, that's very bad for us. Texas only has the angels and they suck. Seattle has Houston but the pitching favors Seattle so I think they take two of three from Houston. I'm starting to think Houston might be the most catchable team.

 

I wouldn't even say a 4-3 split is "very bad". It isn't ideal but the team that goes 3-4 is in serious trouble. They would need to sweep their other series AND get the Jays to go 5-5 or worse at this point.

I don't think it's available in real time, I use xba but of course it's missing some of the metrics

 

Yeah you press on the player, it gives the results of the play, with readouts

Beating King helps. He was as good as advertised. That's one of the six pitching matchups that concerned me for the final 11 games. Still have Cole*2, Glasnow*2 and King again. We're probably going to have to find the way to win a couple of those five matchups.

Qualifying Offer Value To Land Around $20.5MM

By Anthony Franco | September 20, 2023 at 7:43pm CDT

 

The qualifying offer for the upcoming offseason will be in the $20.5MM range, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The specific number may not be known until shortly after the conclusion of the regular season.

 

It’ll be the highest QO value in league history. The offer price is calculated by averaging the salaries of the 125 highest-paid players in the majors. That figure generally increases year over year as overall spending rises.

 

The annual progression of the QO value since its implementation during the 2012-13 offseason:

 

2012-13: $13.3MM

2013-14: $14.4MM

2014-15: $15.3MM

2015-16: $15.8MM

2016-17: $17.2MM

2017-18: $17.4MM

2018-19: $17.9MM

2019-20: $17.8MM

2020-21: $18.9MM

2021-22: $18.4MM

2022-23: $19.65MM

2023-24: roughly $20.5MM

Teams can make the qualifying offer to an impending free agent who has a) never previously received a QO in their career and B) spent the entire 2023 season on their roster. It’d be a one-year offer valued at that approximate $20.5MM price point. Players tagged with the QO have five days to decide whether to accept that lofty one-year salary or decline in search of a free agent contract. Signing a player who rejects a qualifying offer from another team requires forfeiture of a draft choice and potentially international signing bonus space, depending upon the signing club’s revenue sharing status. A team receives compensation for the loss of a player who turned down a QO and signed elsewhere.

 

14 players received qualifying offers last offseason. Joc Pederson and Martín Pérez accepted. The other 12 players declined, though Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Brandon Nimmo subsequently ended up re-signing with their previous team.

 

Shohei Ohtani, Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell, Matt Chapman, Aaron Nola, Sonny Gray and Josh Hader are among the players who are near locks to receive and reject the QO this winter. Jordan Montgomery and Lucas Giolito were taken out of QO consideration by midseason trades, while Eduardo Rodriguez and Marcus Stroman are ineligible as previous recipients.

Fun fact... Josh Donaldson has just 22 hits all season... and 12 are home runs.

 

If your little league coach tells you to get on top of the ball… you tell him no. Groundballs are outs.

Angels and Rays tied 2-2 in the 6th in the only early game

 

Edit: Jo Adell just made it 4-2 after a HBP and HR!

 

Then Randall Grichuk kills the rally. Sigh.
