Eveland has actually proven himself to be effective in the mop-up role. Pitching 3+ innings and keeping games close (that is a relative term when you are serving in a mop-up role.) Not sure how Hunter would do in the bullpen (since Eveland has faltered as a starter, there is a chance that Hunter can succeed in the BP as well. However, Hunter isn't eligible for Free Agency for many years so we can expect that he is sent down. I would assume Hunter becomes a part of the Triple-A rotation to work some things out.

Off the top of my head, I do know that he did have 3 scoreless innings in the 15-inning Royals game when the score was tied. So, it hasn't been all mop-up for Dana. :)

Hunter may not see the majors again until September. We shall see. I think Buck is keeping Eveland.

This.

And this. Eveland was a little rough in his first outing, but Hunter has been given leads and given them back. He needs to work it out in AAA. Maybe Petersen fixes him.

Good to see Eveland getting his command/walk rate issues under control, but I don't really see him getting the GB's (and pitching down in the zone enough) the way he should be to be more effective. At this point though, he looks a better pitcher than TH.

Yeah with this extended small sample, the Koji deal looks more like a wash as CD's inconsistencies continue. But the jury is still out....

I never had high expectations for Hunter or Davis.

I will say that they have not been blocking anyone with their mediocrity. So if AM had not acquired them then something close to them would have still been needed.

Great job by Eveland tonight. What more needs to be said?

It's really funny how every time a starter needs to be pulled really early that our longman mop-up guy comes in and does a much better job than the highly touted, highly paid guy he replaced.

I think Eveland makes more than Arrieta.

      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?

      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!
