His best game of the season so far.

20 out of the 26 batters that he faced were first-pitch strikes.

Followed up by a clunker.

And I was just about to say we should think about taking a flyer on him at the deadline. Saunderesque you might say. He can't seem to put two good ones together though.

He did have 2 good starts in a row before today.

6 innings, 0 earned runs (coincidentally, the same line as Chris Tillman tonight.)

That's 3 good starts in his last 4 outings.

Not really the same line. Bedard had a 2 to 1 SO to BB ratio.

He has looked good and would be a cheap option for us.

I meant in terms of innings pitched, and earned runs.

Bedard pitched exactly 6 innings, while Tillman pitched 6-plus innings, also.

Bedard took a shutout into the 8th inning before departing with one out and a man on base.

The relief pitcher (Hector Ambriz) immediately gave up a home run, allowing Bedard's baserunner to score.

That's 4 good starts in his last 5 outings.

Can you imagine him having that kind of start for us and having the back end of our BP to turn it over to instead of Hector?

Bedard seems to have remained healthy the last two years. I'd rather take a chance he can help us than Norris. The Astros will want too much for Norris. We can get EB for cheap, cheap.

If you start a thread in the Orioles Talk section about the possibility of acquiring him, the only thing that I ask is that you give this thread a plug in your OP. :)

Yet, he wouldn't work for us. I saw somebody saying Marcum would be a good target. Really?

    • I was curious how GRod would pitch given that huge crowd and electric atmosphere. I feel like he has a tendency to get too amped up and overthrow. Granted I didn’t start watching until inning 3, but he looked absolutely in control and executed his pitches.  Certainly a big step forward as far as I’m concerned.
    • Unless Santander goes on an absolute tear the rest of the season, I don't think he turns down a qualifying offer. And even then, it'd be real easy to look at FA deals for 30-ish year old outfielders who are good regulars but not stars and realize there's a good chance he won't beat a QO in guaranteed money, especially with a QO attached. As much as I'd like the pick, I don't want to gamble 20-30M and another year of stunted opportunity for our young outfielders on Santander turning down a QO.
    • Yeah, it's getting to the point where I'm not going to cry if McDermott finishes the year in AAA. I'm not against bringing him up necessarily, but he's clearly got more work to do on control/command if he wants to be a good major league starter long-term.
    • Are there any other qualifications other than signing a contract for 50+M?  A contract of that value spread over 3-4 years would give him a raise and make other teams give some consideration to sign him.  I think that's the only way a QO would work for him.  But I don't think they put him in jeopardy - altho the Orioles could match an offer, I suppose.  I think they value him pretty highly even if he won't command top money. 
    • I did say "unlikely" before "no matter what." Now that I re-read that though, it's kind of a bizarre sentence so I can see why you interpreted it that way. Of course there's a shot a player taken at 1-22 succeeds. Elias is certainly above average at drafting, possibly well above average, but the odds are still against him here, as they are for pretty much any individual pick he makes. I'm not trying to knock Elias here, just stating the fact that the vast majority of players selected in the back of the first round don't turn into solid regulars and so you shouldn't pass up someone you think is more likely to succeed here to draft "for need." I'm certain someone who will be available at this pick will have an incredible major league career. The odds are against it being whoever we draft though. That's just math.
    • I used to think we had a plethora of outfielders ready to replace the current guys, but not I'm not sure. Cowser is one. Does the FO trust Stowers? Heston is another as far as his bat goes, but how bad is the defense if you have Stowers, Cowser and Heston? How long before Bradfield is ready? Will Norby or Mayo move to the OF? Does that make it any better. If Santander has his typical year, I would give him the QO. So what if you have to pay him large for one year? It's not like our payroll is high right now.  
    • Or maybe he just is hesitant because he knows it’s best to give up a single than letting it get by you for a triple or inside the park homerun. I highly doubt Cowser gives a crap about WAR. There is nothing in the guy’s demeanor, personality, or anything that suggests he chases stats and places himself above the team. To say otherwise is quite ridiculous at best, and malicious at worst. He is a rookie and he will get more comfortable as he plays. With that comfortability will come trusting his ability more and more. Why even suggest a thing like you are suggesting? Just pathetic quite frankly on your part.
