Somebody is going to have to help eat 1,458 innings next year on a losing team?

Fixed that for you ?

And not all in the same season

He's gonna be a lights out pitcher for them For like 3 games.

Gotta think that if he has the power we think, playing 81 games a year at the Yard, that his chance is non-zero. Is he a pull hitter?

The first series I remember watching was the '75 series between the Reds and Red Sox, which was definitely exciting. But I will second your mention of the '91 series. That was an on the edge of your seat series for sure.

Slightly tangential question... why isn't there a Florida Fall League too?

At least he can stylishly wear his golden sombrero for a day.

Yeah... I'd say that I would love the O's to have a list of drafted pitchers like that. Have the O's even drafted that many successful pitchers over the last 30 years?

Well then.. I said the first way to emulate their model was to draft pitching. Guess we're on the same page.

I'm afraid I'm not completely informed on this. Are you saying that Tampa has had enviable pitching for the last decade or so but not because they drafted any of those pitchers?

I would think this the first way to emulate the Tampa model would be to actually draft pitchers, but that might just be me.

He had 2 good months in June and August. The other 4 months were ordinary at best, hardly worthy of ROY

Happens every Fall my friend. I love being able to plop down into my favorite chair from April to September to watch the O's. October is miserable until the Terps start playing basketball.

Adley Rutschman - "Challenge accepted."

I live in New England. Red Sox fans are the worst. I think I would rather have the second pick and knock the Red Sox out of the playoffs

Would you rather... Lose out and get the #1 pick? Or sweep the Red Sox, make them miss the playoffs and get the #2 pick?

Sigh... I really thought Reimold was gonna be zooming around the bases for seasons to come.

Agreed. I'd love to play spoiler, but I'd REALLY love the first pick next year.

I'm pretty sure this entire year has been about finding anything with an arm sewed on to consume innings after last year's shortened season. Eshelman may stink, but at least he can eat some innings in a few appearances.

Akin is the best worst choice as a bullpen piece/

This may be the best post of 2021

I think the plan Wildcard suggested still leads to 95-100 losses.

Not sure that a smattering of innings in 3 weeks with the ML club is going to influence that decision. His body of work in the minors for 2021 should give them all they need.

He sounds like a bantamweight boxer. "In this cornerrrrrr... Manny... Barrrrrredaaaaaa!"
