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

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
