I actually think Gregg will be a productive part of our BP this year. He doesn't have elite, high-leverage stuff, but he has enough stuff to get your through a few innings where it'll matter. He's got good movement on his pitches right now - mostly got burnt by bad command on two pitches that inning.

I'll be rooting for him, though.

Wait... is the game over?

In all fairness, last year (and the year before that, and the year before that...), it was a foregone conclusion. Past performance is not always indicative of future results, but if not for the hot start this year, most of us would be saying the same thing. I'm a knife edge from it myself.

Why will you be rooting him? Just because it would benefit the O's, or do you like Gregg in particular for some reason?

Well, he's an Oriole. True. And I don't really like the way fans have piled on him. I've always been that way.

But come on... the bullpen (sans Gregg, and even including Gregg lately) has been so freaking good. I think it's more likely that the bullpen gives nothing up the rest of the way, and the O's get a few chances to tie the game.

That is true as well. I'm just saying there's little use in judging snap thoughts when quite a large sample size has conditioned folks to them, despite recent success.

Don't you think that he kinda deserves it given some of his pouting and awful results despite his ridiculous salary?

It's our fault. We never acquired a taste for his pitching, did we ???

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sydnor · Posted

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.

      I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
