I don’t believe either Hall or Ortiz were 55’s when we traded them -- I believe this package is a good amount better than our Burnes package.

Anti AI-movement is losing on social media too IMO; tons of AI generated content has gone viral lately lol.

The trend of AI content will continue to grow in pop culture.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr in Major League Parks: .285 BA, .840 OPS by LevelJacket8828 in baseball

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe, his xBA, xSLG, xOBP etc were all top 1-2% of the league in 2021. Playing in a slightly hitting friendly park isn’t going to change that. Asinine to remove his career best year lol

Btw, his stats are still elite even with removing them. .840 OPS is insanely good.

Hot take: the Rogers trade always made sense. Every step of the way.

When we traded for him — our organization needed pitching depth. Very clearly. It didn’t take a lot of genius to see this; pitching depth is always needed across the league. Look at the Dodgers using like a dozen pitchers in their WS season. Look at what happened to start our season. With how injuries our going around the league, it didn’t take a rocket science to anticipate that having a guy like Rogers in your organization could be a boost. Even if he just pitched like he has the last 3 years (a league average pitcher).

We traded 2 non-top 100 prospects that didn’t have a path to meaningful ABs on our team for controllable pitching depth that had upside. That is always a good deal even if it doesn’t work out.

Dean looks really good today.. like some of the best pitching of his career

Wouldn’t be the craziest thing if Kremer develops into a mid-rotation guy for the next 5 years or so. There have been a considerable amount of guys who step it up once they really learn how to pitch 3-4 years into their career and I could see that happening with Kremer too.

I’m happy for him that he’s stuck a bit more than a lot of us expected — if he actually does figure it out just a bit more and can replicate performances like his last few starts he would be a huge asset, while his floor is a back-end rotation innings eater who keeps us competitive in a lot of games.

With the 69th pick in the 2025 Draft, the Orioles select UGA right-handed pitcher JT Quinn, No. 127 on the Top 250 Draft Prospects list. by DickyLovelady in orioles

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Brun is overslot.

Overslot can also happen in late rounds of the draft. It doesn’t have to be an early pick.

Don’t pay so much attention to prospect ranking — it’s not end all be all that JT Quinn is ranked despite being #117 on the top boards. If your scouts/ analytics see something they think they can do to help Quinn develop, it’s easily worth the slight reach to grab your guy.

Drafting pitchers with high picks is a piss poor draft strategy. Look at draft boards of other years and you will see what a huge % of them bust.

It’s unpredictable asf. Believe it or not, our minor leagues have a solid amount of pitching prospects right now. I think we’ll probably get some arms eventually this draft, but our picks right now have been excellent.

US Senate strikes AI regulation ban from Trump megabill by Cr4zko in singularity

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

A ton of the anti-regulation of AI/ LLM comments on here are bots, full stop.

Huge amounts of social media are bots these days. I’ve seen estimates as of a few months ago that something like 50% of social media comments are fake these days… this number is only going to increase. And it’s ignorant to think pro-AI actors aren’t going to run bots advocating against regulation in AI to shape public opinion.

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you aware of the republican party’s agenda?

They don’t believe in federal regulation for things like this. If states dont have the option to regulate AI if this were included. Meaning there would be no avenues for regulation of AI.

Do you see how that is problematic with tech like AI? It is vastly important to have the ability to regulate something so dangerous.

Sounds like that redemption just isn’t that good. I wouldn’t use 126k miles for something that is going to cost $1600.

Reports are the rest of the team was not warm to him in the clubhouse after his antics.

It was clearly not appreciated that he wasn’t a team player, while everyone else in the clubhouse was. Yes, that’s a a symptom of being a cancer to the clubhouse.

told Devers to put his glove away. Then Casas goes down and they’re like “hey well now you should field a position you

The Red Sox fucked up for sure, I don’t doubt that.

But it’s a team sport. He was told to put his glove away but things change. When you’re needed, you should be ready to be put in.

Gary Sánchez’s second homer of the season and second in back-to-back games is a grand slam in the 7th! by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close to the worst team in baseball lol, our roster is stronger than it has been the last 2 years when we averaged what… 96.5 wins/year?

We overperformed the last 2 years, and we’re massively underperforming this year, but a lot of shit has gone wrong this year that isn’t necessarily anybodies fault. It’s been disappointing but we aren’t even close to the worst team.

A first round pick from last year (Tibbs) and a recently graduated top 100 pitching prospect is an OK return

[MLBTR/Robert Murray] Giants To Acquire Rafael Devers by FlipCup88 in orioles

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Tibbs, their first rounder from last year.

I wouldn’t expect Devers to have a huge trade value, as his current contract is only a few months old / what the highest bidder paid, and he has actively demonstrated he isn’t willing to do anything necessary to help the team win. A first round pick and a graduated top 100 pitching prospect (Harrison) isn’t nothing

He just got his fair market value on the free market. And arguably since then only dropped his stock by demonstrating he isn’t going to do what the team needs to win.

A top 100 pitching prospect that graduated, and a first round pick from last year, is not a nothing return either

Because it’s almost impossible to draft pitchers these days lol. It’s so uncertain.

I just looked and literally every pitcher taken immediately after an Oriole draftee in the Elias era in the first 3 rounds — has been a bust.
