Does Arrieta's "stuff" look different to anyone else? I don't remember his breaking pitches being that tight or the slight movement on his fastball...They mentioned that his delivery doesn't have the "recoil" that it used to...whatever he did, it seems to be working and I like what I see

He's thrown 27 pitches in the first inning. And, gave up a GS to Pena.

Pena's a steal. He puts up great numbers for them for years... demands high contract they can't pay... goes somewhere else and disappoints... comes back to TB at a reduced rate and is crushing.

      Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      By wildcard · Posted

      Whether this is a good trade will depend on how good Hunt is defensively and with pitch calling as a catcher.    Right now I just throw him into the mix with Handley as a backup catcher. Its not a good sign that Tampa traded him for another minor league catcher. Means' yet to be determined arm issue and Kremer issue with a blister makes the loss of Baumann something to watch. Heasley and  Povich look like the next men up if the O's need to add a pitcher from AAA. Glad to see McGough move from AA to AAA.

      Time to see Cedric Mullins get his act together in Norfolk for a while. He's got some work to do.

      Not sure where @scarey1999 is getting his information but Liranzo is still listed on the FCL roster and Eric_Birdland on X who goes to a lot of FCL games and gets some decent information had video of Liranzo practicing a month ago and last week said he’d be back soon.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      This offensive approach is as bad as the hey day of Buck's swing for the fences with every swing and damn OBP.  Are hitters told to forget everything they learned when they get to Baltimore?  Just really disappointed in an offense that is HR and not much else.  Maybe it worked early in the year but pitchers have figured O's hitters out.  Don't groove the 1st pitch and keep throwing stuff off the plate and low or high.
