After a 14-12 July and a weak wildcard race in the JL, the team thought they may have an outside chance at sneaking in. A 15-38 over the last 2 months slammed the door on that thought.
Free agent signings to brings fans in the seats really only did that. None really proved to be the players they were before coming to Charm City. After a solid start, Carlos Garcia fell apart. Matt Mills managed to get his ERA under 5 but his FIP was over that. Leon Sandcastle was actually still solid but got hurt, ending his season. Julio Torror was an All-Star but fell apart in the 2nd half. Sean Smith was also solid but slowed down.
Felipe Murillo of course got hurt. He may catch on with someone with a MiLC, but his career is probably over. Jay-hoon Ch'oe took a step back in the first year of a 3 year extension. Byron Hearle also fell apart once again. Not a lot of bright spots.
Joao Silva was a small one. After being picked up off waivers, he managed a 111 OPS+ and 112 wRC+ in 69 games with the team. He crushed lefties and will probably mainly play against the handedness. Juan Cano stayed healthy all season and had a solid season out of the 'pen. Joaquin Hebner, Thiongo Muiru, and David Marquez all made their ML debuts to mixed results.
This season will probably lead to an offseason purge. Most team options will probably be declined. A decent amount of players will probably be non-tendered. Another offseason with fans in Baltimore looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: Warehouse Wire 2037.08: Another Year. Another 100 Losses.
I know the feeling of going nowhere lol. Until I get a few big contracts cleared there’ll be no decent FA’s in Louisville and the home-grown talent is anything but. At least I appear stuck just missing the 100 losses though and maybe our young players will grow up lifting their talent

I don't think we're going nowhere. Making progress. Things aren't going as smooth as I'd like but we'll get there.Fat Nige wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:19 amI know the feeling of going nowhere lol.

Now I’ve cleared the big contracts I feel more content. Probably be a few more years of financial prudence and allow the youngsters to grow into the role before hopefully making the big push but now I do feel like you, that I am getting there, slowly, but getting there
