Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 16hRight now the closest thing the Orioles have to a proven, everyday OF going into ‘27 is Colton Cowser, and let’s be real — he still has platoon issues. They can experiment with Mayo & look at Beavers, Blaze, O’Neill as options, but they absolutely need to acquire a real COF who can hit and defend. 4223
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Every weekend I ask myself if I really have the energy to care about football and for some reason I keep making the wrong decision. 1251
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Just looking out my window and at the forecast and … yeah I don’t see how this game is possible. 190
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If the season is done, Pete Alonso will end with an even 5.0 fWAR and 148 wRC+, both career highs and slightly better than his rookie breakout season. Career-high walk rate and OBP, best defense on a rate basis in 5 years. Exceeded all expectations in year 1 of the contract. 6624
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Went to a milquetoast 80s/90s dance party at Alphaville and bullied the DJ into playing Prodigy and he actually delivered with a 3-song set. A better world is possible. 240

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If the Yankees can play Game 2 tonight then I should be able to see The Prodigy under a bridge behind my apartment. I’ve asked the mayor about this but he has yet to respond. 2151
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I just know Trevor Rogers is going to end up somewhere sickening 8250
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Dylan Beavers has a real shot at getting back up to -0.2 WAR by the end of the season. 2160
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 25/09/2026When the pressure's off, this is a really good team. 2281

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The worst part of ending the season with a Yankees series is that I’m in market, so I can’t watch the MASN feed on MLBTV and will be forced to watch the Yankees broadcast if I watch at all. 1210

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That was very nearly a colossal crash-out situation 0170
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So Trey has hit 98.2 and 97.8 tonight, sitting 95-96, and is averaging 3 inches more ride (17) on his 4S than usual. He’s been able to get as much as 21” of vert in recent AAA starts, but inconsistently. Seems like he’s tinkering and making some incremental progress there. 1181
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I would have loved to see an LDL opener/Gibson piggyback in Game 2, but this sequencing makes sense in terms of roster management. I think we’ve learned that the floor for LDL is quite high as an effective reliever with plus stuff. But there’s at least mid-rotation upside there. Glad he got a look. 181
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Nice to see Anthony Nunez bounce back with a strong second half. He should be a strong bullpen piece for years to come. 0170

Reposted by DanchezConor McGovern @conormcgovern.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Morbidly fascinated by the Orioles' bunting decisions, I built a model to assess when bunting is a good call. A bunch of insights here, but notable is that the Orioles have made the worst decisions in MLB in 2026 (but Friday's Basallo bunt was defensible!) comcgovern36.substack.com/p/buntpilled...comcgovern36.substack.comBuntpilledWhen is the right time to bunt, and who makes the best decisions? It’s not the Orioles. 081

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’m buying the Adrian Morejon starter conversion this winter. Above average command of four plus pitches, enough velo and stuff that he can sacrifice some and still be nasty. The routine and workflow buildup is always tricky in year one but he’ll end up around 85 IP this year. 271

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Part of me wonders how much of Gunnar’s down year is due to a BABIP like 50 points lower than his career level coming into the season. I know there’s more to it than that (bat speed down a tick, no damage on fastballs), but at least some of this seems like dumb luck. 4130

Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Two years in, it certainly looks like the Orioles dodged a huge bullet when Burnes decided to turn down $40M+ AAV and sign with the Diamondbacks. He’s missed most of the first two seasons and his stuff has looked very mediocre since his return. 3120
Danchez @oriolesreview.bsky.social · 22/09/2026When they signed Alonso I thought he had a good shot at hitting his 400th HR as an Oriole. At this point it would take a serious injury or sudden collapse to prevent that, and he has a shot at 450 before the end of the contract. 2370
