Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam
Frobby replied to interloper's topic in Orioles Talk
Isn’t the fact that they’re all at about the same level the reason why it’s a dilemma? If a couple of guys were clearly a cut above the others, the dilemma wouldn’t exist. That said, Kremer, Irvin and Suarez all had good turns in the rotation the last time through. There’s no huge rush to move anyone out of the rotation IMO. -
Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

Arguably, you have a better chance of extending a player than of signing that player as a free agent. So when drafting, you might take that into account. -

When second guessing a 1:1 pick, are you looking at his the player does with the 6+ years of team control, or over an entire career? In any event, even in hindsight, I’m very comfortable with Adley as our 1:1. He had the best combo of high ceiling/high floor in the draft. He’s on pace to give us 30+ WAR in his six years under team control, and the team went from laughingstock to winner the nanosecond he arrived in the major leagues. That works for me! -
If they really want to get his bat going, send him to Delmarva!

I did see the Fangraphs article, which was about how Norfolk would do against the weakest MLB teams. I may have posted it here somewhere.

I don’t know what the Hays injury situation is, but this may be a very short call-up for McKenna. I think Hays is eligible to come off the IL on Wednesday.
-
I’m not too surprised about Holliday. I’m somewhat surprised about McKenna. I guess they want an option for late inning defense in the OF for Santander or Kjerstad.

I must be in the minority. I pay no attention to what uniforms and caps are worn on a given day. You could ask me five minutes after the game what caps the team wore, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But I could tell you what happened in the game in vivid detail.

Their record says otherwise. But I’d be happy for you to be proven right.

Setting the rotation for the four game Yankee Series
Frobby replied to wildcard's topic in Orioles Talk
My guess is they’ll just go in the present order: GRod, Kremer, Burnes, Irvin. -
Generally it allows the runner to slide well outside home plate and just swipe the hand to tag home, which doesn’t present much of a target.
-
I doubt the O’s will look past it, given that Oakland just beat the Yankees 2 out of 4 in the Bronx.
-
In 26 games, the A’s have scored 4+ runs only 9 times, and 5+ only 3 times. The O’s have been held under 4 runs only 4 times and under 5 runs only 10 times in 24 games.

I was wondering when we’d hear from you about Abrams. We’ll see if his hot start is for real. Great news for the Nats if he is as good as he’s looked this month. They could use a few breaks. -
How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever? They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff. That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game. Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.
