Can he make average stuff good?

Ask Miguel Gonzalez? What I'm saying is, if you have no clue about how a guys stuff is, once you've had a chance to catch them, will it help if you know how their pitches break, or move? I was asking a question, not making a statement.

Whatever has happened/will happen pitching/defense wise, really doesn't matter since our offense has been brutal tonight. No reason not to have 3 or 4 runs. I mean 3 hits against this guy? That's embarrassing and pathetic. The O's are shooting themselves in the foot by swinging at bad pitches, and missing the good ones.

Amazing the Orioles can knock around one of the best pitchers in baseball one night, and the next night, make a guy that can't get anything but a 87 mph baseball over the plate look like Jim Palmer. Very frustrating to watch.

It's pretty hard to win every game. I know we'd all like to, but we're going to lose again before the season is up.

If you have been a fan of this team for any amount of time you come to expect crappy results against crappy pitchers.

I think there is some measure of familiarity that can be gained and might be helpful for the next start, but beyond that I'm not sure Wieters can do very much of anything. I'm guessing Wieters and Saunders had some interaction and planning before todays game.

      Could he be back by the start of next season? I’m not sure of the exact recovery time for this procedure but I know it’s less than TJS.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.
