vs. D-RAYS 6/03

Arrieta is nearing the point where he has no business in our rotation. And, yes, I get that we don't have many other options.

That fact doesn't mean they have a better choice to take his place.

I guess Tillman is an option if he swings another couple good starts in a row.

I have no doubt that they're considering Tillman. They like where he's at right now (and like him far more than OH does).

Ballgame right there. He'd have been better off walking in the go ahead run than giving up a double. Chrissake.

Better things to do with my Sunday afternoon than watch this travesty. Oh Arrieta, how far you've fallen. :ohlord:

Where has he fallen from? He's never been that good.

He's pitched much better than his ERA this year (peripherals-wise) but he just falls apart. No one can be blamed for it but him.

Arrietta = Garbage.

At least Tommy Hunter had a swag. I still love his post game interview after the 9th inningc ome back versus the A's. Arrietta looks like a deer in headslights when things start to go bad- and they stay that was as he gazes at the field from the dugout long after he leaves a game he gave away.

Sick. Tired. Of. This.

    • If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.
    • One game at a time. Let’s go O’s 👍🏻
    • You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.  
    • The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.
    • Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.
    • Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.
    • Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
