I want to be the first to predict - if we get through this current SP crisis (Chen hurt, Hammel not pitching well) and stay in the hunt - Tommy "Top Gun" Hunter will be a big part of it, either as a fill-in starter or the long relief guy that comes in when one of the fill-in starters struggles to keep us in a game for the Oriole offense to come back....The fat oaf teased early on will become a beloved hero. Let's roll Tommy.

You may be right.

Yeah, I think I remember (I'm not so tech savvy at looking up my past posts, etc.) I responded that it's as if Oriole "fans" wanted him to fail....Just an idiotic poll - and good on Tommy for letting his pitching shut the poll up.

I like that you used "Top Gun", that was my contribution.

I didn't either. I don't like a poll without one positive option and I was a critic of Hunter as a starter. He's in the right role out of the BP.

After walking his second batter, Hunter retired the final 7 D-Rays that he faced.

    • I saw Johnson pitched 4 scoreless innings fur Bowie tonight.   4 hits, 2 walks,  3 strikeouts.   He has a 3.00 ERA on the season. 
    • We’ll always have the no-hitter…
    • Do we know what his velocity was today? I know he doesn't light up the gun but was he at his normal? 
    • Longterm he’s probably that missing RH SU/MR that we’ve been looking for since the Fuji trade.  It’s probably Suarez vs Ramírez vs Tate for 1-2 bullpen spots. Wells and one of Irvin/Means could be in the bullpen mix as well.  Depth is good to have. I wouldn’t sleep on Ramirez either. Elias has shown a knack from adding relievers through trade or waivers. 
    • There's not a single high level prospect on the team he pitched against tonight and even the one out he got was crushed
    • Let’s tap the brakes on his move to the bullpen. His stuff plays and he can get outs. Best of all, he doesn’t walk anyone. He challenges hitters and gets weak contact. With our defense, I’d rather him give up the occasional double or flared hit to the outfield than to see walks. Keep him in the starting rotation until he proves he doesn’t belong. Wells and Irvin both have experience in the pen and frankly for Irvin, though I love him, has a real tough time throwing strikes at times.    anyway, let’s see what the old dog can do.
    • I could see Suarez sticking in a bullpen role long term with the movement on his fastball. Also he might be able to throw a 2 to 3 more MPH harder not having to worry about trying to pitch six innings. The Orioles have done a good job finding pitchers who weren't expected to do much in recent years and it would be cool if Suarez is another find.
