Nice background image. I'm thinking they won that game?

Also hoping he wasn't at the BOTTOM of that pile!

No, they lost. They were celebrating because they beat the spread and lost that game by only 2 runs. They were expected to lose by 3 or more.

I wish the Orioles would have waited one day and allowed him to make his debut at home on Tuesday. It stinks that the guy's professional debut is at another team's stadium. Aberdeen fans have packed that stadium with little to show for wins and losses over the year and as soon as they get a first round pick he makes his debut elsewhere. This is a bit of mis-step by the Orioles if you ask me. There is no good reason they can not wait one day and give the Aberdeen fans something to look forward to. Plus I wanted to see him pitch live! ;)

I kind of agree. But he'll get his home debut, and the stadium will be PACKED. :noidea: Including you, I'm sure. :P

Yeah, but there's something to be said for seeing the guys professional debut. I just think the fans of Aberdeen deserve it since the difference is only one day.

Agreed with every word of this. But he should pitch during the six-game homestand immediately following that game, and on a Sunday as well, so maybe that went into the decision.

Assuming he does pitch next Sunday, I'll be there, and hopefully I'll get to see some Hangouters there as well!

      Trade targets: Starters and Bullpen

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Good question/scenario to pose. I believe that middle relief is a need for us because we really only have 3 reliable relievers. Bautista, Cano, and half of Coulombe and half of Baker...lol But in seriousness, we need to be leading in games for that even to matter which means our starter has to get through 5/6 and be better than theirs. I don't really like that proposition against elite teams. In the playoffs, you are going to have to win some lower scoring games. I'm not convinced that our starters can hold down the opposition for our relief pitching to even matter. (beyond maybe Wells for 5 innings). We had a SUPER ELITE BP with Miller, Brach, O'Day, and Britton and it didn't really matter in the end. That was because our O couldn't score, this time it will probably be because our starters can't be effective for long enough. I'm not against BP help whatsoever, but I think an impact starter is needed also. And if I had to rank the two, I would place starting pitcher as the greater need.

      I'll just add, in the MLB.com highlights they have her call of the Josh Lester RBI single, and she misses what happened the botched cutoff that allowed the third run to score from first. She just stops paying attention to the play and is caught off guard when the third run scores.  https://www.mlb.com/gameday/orioles-vs-giants/2023/06/04/717890/final/wrap

      Every time I ask the same question you seem to ignore it and not answer it, so let me state it as plainly as I know how. Of MIN, TEX, NY, HOU, TB; which team would you prefer the O's rotation to theirs? Which of those teams would be willing to trade their best 3/4 starters for ours (the players that can be pencilled in to start a playoff series)? Do you follow/keep track of those teams and who they have or just the O's?

      Is it too early (and possibly too crazy) to suggest that they may be a better road team than they are at home?

      Moves in the near term

      I'm not very high on Giolito. How much better does he really make us? I would prefer to have a starter who can truly match up with the McClanahans, Coles, deGroms, Ryans, etc of the world. Otherwise, I think we are a long shot at best to win 1 round let alone 3.  In addition, he's an FA at the end of the year so he does nothing to help us solve this problem next year. If we are going to make a trade I would prefer that we don't try to address the gaping hole with a small bandaid, because despite our rich org prospect depth and talent, we don't have the pitching to project to have a talent edge on our competitors next year or beyond. I guess the same thing that applies to Giolito applies to Flahrety and Montgomery from STL IMO. They are not really tangibly better than what we have. I don't want any of those guys as my game 1/7 starter.  With the reserve/over abundance of org talent that we currently posses, I would prefer to fish for the cream of the crop as opposed to closer to the bottom of the barrel. IMO there's no reason to go cheap now in terms of what we are willing to give up to get the true difference making piece for the next few years.

      The reds are probably ready to compete next season so i doubt they will want to move a cost controlled top level back end bullpen guy.  The one thing they would want even if he was available would most likely be pitching prospects as they are built like us with young depth in position players.
