Heres an article on Arrietas latest start that makes me glad he is gone. His final line line didn't look too horrendous (5IP, 6H, 3ER, 1BB, 6SO) but some of the quotes from the manager sound all too familiar. Not to mention all 3 earned runs were back to back to back home runs in the fourth inning. Here is what Cubs manager Dale Sveum said....

"I don?t know if he?s trying to nitpick or strike people out, and then we let the hitter get back into counts and stuff like that. We got to get over that hump and put guys away when we get two strikes on him"

Sounds like the same Arrieta to me...I think he'll be a great pitcher at some point and kudos to the club that sticks with him long enough to find out.

He allowed three consecutive home runs in the forth inning.

He allowed three consecutive home runs in the forth inning.

He's too concerned with the crease in his uniform instead of command of his pitches. I heard that they have him pitching now exclusively from the stretch and attempted to simplify his deliver which is what I always wondered why the Orioles didn't try with him.. apparently still hasn't helped. Eventually, he will either be out of baseball or land with a pitching coach who will make it click for him. Who knows which will happen though?

What a ridiculous notion, crease in his pants. Everyone knows Jake has long hair and a beard now.

Seems like the same pitcher we watched the last four years. He'll get you excited with a couple of good outings, then get blasted. Or, he'll sail along for 3-4 innings, then fall apart for no apparent reason. I will root for him to succeed, but I don't miss him.

The only run that Jake allowed today came on back-to-back walks with 2 outs.

With runners on 1st and 3rd base and 2 outs, he walked Andrew McCutchen and Justin Morneau, which plated a run.

Overall, he allowed 1 run over 6 innings with 3 free passes (2 walks and a hit batsman.)

Yeah, well maybe they told him to quit worrying about how he looks and more about how he pitches. The beard and long hair and scrub look may be a good thing because the opposite of what he had been doing would be in order since he wasn't getting it done.

    • That is good news, as we have plenty of offensive potential to trade for pitching!
    • If that number is the barometer then the answer is yes. Absolutely yes!  If the goal is to one build a longer term multiple World Series winning team, then you don’t let elite/irreplaceable talent walk. Look around the game, nobody is really doing that anymore. At least not without retaining at least one franchise player to market/build around. If the other goal is to grow the franchise’s viability/relevance/fanbase/revenues within this market, you have to have superstar m/face of the franchise players that people want to see and corporations want to invest as dollars in.
    • Baseball America 10. Moises Chace, RHP, Orioles Chace’s stuff across the board is getting more swing-and-miss than it did a year ago. A 20-year-old righthander with High-A Abderdeen, Chace is throwing slightly harder than he did in 2023, sitting at 93-95 mph and reaching 96 mph with a riding fastball. He’s getting a high amount of whiffs both with a changeup that has good fade and separation off his fastball as well as a high-spin slider (2,700-2,900 rpm) that has sharp sweep across the zone. It’s a starter’s repertoire, though after recording a 15-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first two starts, Chace walked six in four innings in his last outing. Control has been an issue for Chace before—he walked 53 in 68 innings last year—so while he has the stuff to start, location will be key for him to stick in that role.
    • Baseball America  4. Michael Forret, RHP, Orioles Forret was a 14th-round pick from State JC of Florida last year who signed with the Orioles for $450,000. He pitched in the low 90s, touched 94 mph and showed the strength projection in his 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame to think there could be more in the tank. The 20-year-old righthander has added a few ticks to his fastball already this year in Low-A Delmarva, sitting 93-95 mph and touching 97. His plus slider has been a major weapon in the low-to-mid 80s, giving him a sharp breaking ball that snaps off with late bite to miss bats. Overall, Forret has a 3.46 ERA with 19 strikeouts and three walks in 13 innings, making him one of the more intriguing sleeper prospects in the lower levels.
    • What's the run scored per game average in MLB now compared to this point last year?
    • I picked Adley simply because he was here first, he seems like the most realistic shot at an extension, and he’s the heart and soul of the team. Gunnar is the more elite talent, for sure, but are they going to top BWJ’s deal? Of course there is no real frame of reference for how the new ownership group will spend, but I’d be floored if they topped 11/288. Burnes has made it pretty clear that he wants to hit FA and it ultimately feels like he’ll end up back on the west coast. 
    • I don’t know how you are assessing value? Is it to express who is being paid the least for the most productivity? Is it age vs production? Is it who is the best player right now? 5 tool talent? Something else?
