We always struggled against Berrios. We need runs to have a chance this game.

the word that Bradish next turn in the rotation is unknown...does not bode well..not good to hear...
We are in big trouble without Bradish. Injuries will kill us this year.

Their rotation is cranking out 6 IP, 1 ER starts night after night. Unless they have some injuries to their rotation or fatigue sets in, they're not going to be catchable.
I had many years of my life having to endure great Yankees years, over/over again.

I never had confidence in Suarez.

Yankees lead 4-0

Povich, McDermott, Young and Tavera in AAA. Johnson, Bright, Brnovich, Weston pitching well in AA. The upper minors pitching prospects look a lot deeper now than they have in recent years.
With all the interesting upper minors arms comes impending 40-man decisions, and also more depth to deal from ahead of the deadline - hopefully enough to be able to steer trade partners away from the best few names when we need to add pitchers as secondary pieces to a deal.
Johnson is definitely a potential trade candidate if they are trying to keep Povich/McDermott/De Leon out of a deal, if he pitches well the next couple months he could easily be the next best pitching prospect in the system. Of course would like to hold onto everybody, but we’re going to make some kind of trade and teams always look for pitching back.
I hate to trade pitching when we need pitching. I'd rather trade a veteran hitter instead. If those prospect pitchers are good, why would we need to trade for someone else's pitchers?

And you will probably, but my points stand.
I noticed you haven't said one thing about them not drafting and developing pitchers. All you are doing is trying to poo-poo my points by talking about generics drafting outcomes which don't hold any weight to the points that I've made.
Nobody expects them to hit with every pick, or even the majority. That was not my point at all. Thankfully some got it.
You could potentially do something useful and look at all the pitchers that were drafted over the last five years that have made the major leagues or have become impact pitchers.
The Orioles have drafted zero that have made the major leagues. ZERO!
Now I'm sure you'll go back to the Drungo-lab and go find other organizations that have failed to produce a major league pitcher over a five year span, but the this is the only span of Elias and company. The Orioles have touted themselves as advanced in finding these pitchers and even thought so much about their "advantages" they basically ignored pitching until the 8th round and later thinking they could take guys nobody else really wanted and make them into guys.
That has failed so far. Arbruester is the guy who has made it the farthest and he's been getting crushed at AAA and has nothing to get lefties out, something that has been his problem from day one. Where is the development? Why is he still getting run out there as a starter instead of having him focus on being a 1-2 inning reliever and pitching more often to see how he looks on that role?
The Orioles have gotten rid of most of the "old school" coaches and gone with the computer guys and I don't personally see many developments from the hitting or the pitchers outside of the guys with the extreme talent in the first place.The guys with shady command still have shady command. Some of these pitchers are throwing 5 or more different types of pitches and wonder why they can't command their stuff more often. I see this with McDermott and Povich who have very good stuff, but they throw like 5 or 6 pitch types and end up inconsistent when a few aren't working.
Maybe have them focus on the two maybe three secondaries to master them, then worry about the other stuff.
How about John Means, and by trade and developed Kyle Bradish?

He'll be possessed by the spirits of Yankees past and probably play until he's 45.
When the Yankees bought Babe Ruth from the Red Sox, the future Yankees players later became possessed putting on their uniform.

Cole is on track to come back for the 2nd game of the O's/Yankees series in NY later this month.
I hope we beat them like the last time we faced them.

I feel bad for Norby, I know it's way to early.

Burnes is maybe the best starter we had since Mussina...gonna be tough next year without him...I dont think its wise to sign him for 30 million a year for a 30 year old...but who knows what David will do...
Unfortunately you have to spend to compete, even overpay. I hope we do. I don't want to see Burnes with pinstripes like Mussina.

Gil was traded by the Twins to the Yankees for Jake Cave in 2018.

He is and it's not very close. The only issue will be his innings.
And the Yankees will get an extra draft pick to make them better!

Has anyone ever heard a Baltimore sportscaster Jeff Reumer? He used to be a Montreal Expo Sportscaster. Any one know what happened to him?

Good chance and moment for Norby!!

I hate the Yankees luck more than anything. It's bad enough to have the money to buy any free agent the O's can't. Any random pitcher promoted from the minors varies from very good to potential Cy Young winner.
Amen!!! I couldn't have said it any better!!!

Yankees lead 3-0 with Gil pitching.

What is the point of a pitch clock when they have unknown delay?

MLB should put all the riches teams in their own division to make it fair.
