Folks here change their mind to agree with what used to be the minority. Even referencing points that, at one time, they laughed at.

Oh well. It is what it is.

He should have been up from the start and, well, now he is.

Losing Matusz changes everything for me.

Yes. Like it was said before, you can't say you want to win games but then bring up some AAAA pitcher over Britton just to save some cash. If Matusz wasn't going on the DL then you couldve done some kind of committee for a start or two but that isn't an option for 4-6 weeks.

No. We want him here now because Matusz is going on the DL. That changes it entirely. We have no other option now, where as with a healthy Matusz we didn't need Britton up here.

In a perfect world we leave Britton down there.

However with Matty on the DL we have no legit excuse to not bring up Britton now. How can we look Roberts or Markakis in the eyes and say our second best pitcher is hurt but we are going to go with Vandenhurk for three to six weeks because we dont want to pay big bucks to Britton seven years from now?

Lets just win.

I couldn't agree more. Winning should be the only thing on their minds and Britton gives you the best chance. You do it and figure the other stuff out later.

its still just 3 weeks. What about all of those models/projections? Those would show a possible increase of +2/3rds of a win?

something like that. People were fired about that before.

People did not agree with this before. In fact, that notion was ridiculed incessantly.

Winning is not guaranteed if Britton, who has never thrown a ML pitch, is in there instead of someone else.

Let's say it is 5 starts, and Britton wins 3 and the other guys win 2. Worth it then?

For a win? Maybe 2?

Are we finishing 1 or 2 games out of the playoffs? Not happening.

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
