Should we be interested in a reunion?

Actually pitched fairly well out of the pen in Cleveland. 3.74 ERA, 1.20 WHIP.

Yes he hurt himself in mid-July but he is now pitching on a rehab assignment so it seems like he should be able to contribute this year.

He is currently rehabbing....DD get on this NOW!

Our 6th best starter too. He can give you 5 and keep you in the game at least, better than Ubaldo....

SPeaking of which..leaving work in DC and headed over now.....this game is going to make my eyes bleed. Rocking the Schoop jersey!

The most he has thrown is 24 pitches. He is not going into the rotation he is nowhere stretched out enough and can't do that in the minors. That being said if healthy he is better then Ondrusek and well liked in clubhouse. Let him get few more outings in minors then bring him up in September.

Yeah, probably spot on about him not being stretched out....but this is a no brainer move here.

Those numbers are deceiving. Hunter was absolutely horrendous in high leverage situations with the Indians this year.

RISP- .381/.435/.476

2 outs, RISP- .333/.455/.444

Late and close- .348/.400/.565

Tie Game- .400/.438/.467

Within 1 run- .323/.382/.516

High leverage- .375/.444/.438

Medium leverage- .294/.333/.588

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
