Guys, I got it!

I figured it out!

What we have to do is, for our young cavalry, send them down to AAA to pitch a terrible game every single time they pitch well in the majors. Then once they get the cluelessness out of their system in Norfolk, bring them back up to pitch another gem. If we do it this way, we only need twice as many starters as we intend to use in the ML... if each pitcher only throws every other start in the ML. This will jive well with Peterson's teaching style, which instructs them to "pitch well every other game".

Only downside is, if we continue this methodology, the Norfolk Tides' starting pitching will have a 45.00 ERA on the season. :laughlol:

For those listening to Gameday Audio or 1090 AM, you are free to smash random heavy objects over my head for the following segment:

Bock bock bock bock, bock bock bock boooooock......

Hey, you're the chicken man!

How'd you know?!

You're dressed in a chicken suit...

Oh, yeah, right -- that always gives me away!

Say, do you know where I can get really good chicken around here?

Royal Farms!

They even have a chicken cheesesteak! "Oh yeah!"

How much is it?

Buck buck buck buck!

Sorry just a little chicken humor...

Do people think you're strange?

Oh yeah.

I'm on vicodin and all the regular stuff and I'm not that strange...

      I hadn't read that, but it seems we are thinking similar things. 😃

      Something I love about baseball

      So true, I also love that surprisingly often you see a play that you've never seen before.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By gamiliel · Posted

      Exactly right. In the playoffs this would be all you need starting wise, if the bullpen gets fixed.

      Trey Gibson 2024

      By Sovaosfan · Posted

      His sophomore year was a disaster, had nagging injuries and didnt pitch well at all. When the season was over Liberty sent him to a training program in Utah. I will not get into why he didn't play his junior season but it's nothing to worry about. We took care or him in HS and travel never threw to many innings.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By gamiliel · Posted

      If there is a way to get him work in the minors, then yes....perhaps a "mental health" injury stint.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      It's been a couple months, let's check in on where things sit. Tony's ranking in parentheses: Locks: 1. Coby Mayo (3) - Stud. He won't need to wait till the winter. 2. Cade Povich (5) - Bad start last night but 3.85 xFIP in AAA this year, he's looked really good. 3. Chayce McDermott (8): 14.36 K/9 in Norfolk but 5.74 BB/9 too.  4. Connor Norby (10): .386 wOBA, .309 xwOBA this year - I'm not a fan but he still gets added More Likely Than Not: 5. Brandon Young (26): The move to Norfolk proves they think he's for real. He has the best xFIP in the org (2.17) He hasn't thrown 5 innings in an outing yet though. They're still being cautious with him. 6. Kade Strowd (20): 2.88 xFIP and got bumped to Norfolk. He has a real shot to get added. He could be bullpen depth this year even. Other Names to Watch: Trey McGough - LHP, got bumped to Norfolk. 3.78 xFIP there so far. Luis Gonzalez - 32 year old Mexican league find like Suarez, Cesar Valdez, Miguel Gonzalez, but he'll get a cup of coffee this year the way he's pitching. 3.43 xFIP in 22 IP inNorfolk. Maverick Handley - .246/.357/.396 in Norfolk and reportedly has a strong arm. Do they trade for Blake Hunt if they like Handley to replace McCann next year?  Nick Richmond - Strong numbers in Bowie to start the year, 3.34 xFIP Eligible, but Not Playing Well Enough for Consideration: Hudson Haskin, Billy Cook, Justin Armbreuster, Keagan Gillies, John Rhodes, Carter Baumler, Kyle Brnovich, Moises Chace, Wandisson Charles, Carlos Tavera

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Elias has so many factors to contemplate in consideration of trade acquisitions.  Among them is how he foresees the 2025 roster (and beyond) and whether trading a player or prospect away will affect that roster.  Luzardo would fit in very well, as we'd have him this year and two more, helping to offset the loss of Burnes after this season. Is it potentially worth losing six years of control of multiple prospects?  It was worth losing Ortiz and Hall and all their years of control for one season of Burnes.  Such considerations make for an interesting aspect of determining who to target and knowing what your max offer would be.  Being on the same page with the other team's GM may still find you on the outside looking in if another team ups their offer enough to outbid you. I'd be in heaven to be able to be with Elias as he has these conversations and to see how he views things.
