He didn't get properly warmed up at the Futures Game if I remember correctly.

That was the thought across the board. It was said that most of the pitchers didnt get warmed up properly because they had a set routine and they werent use to coming in in the middle of the game. They were use to getting ready for the beginning.

Angelos cheaping out on staff? I don't believe it....

You would think with PA's strict policies on free agent physicals, that his in house staff would be top notch. I am not going to know the O's doctors, because I have no idea how good they are. I would imagine though, top of the line sports doctors would be cheaper than most players on our staff. Of course I am not saying Dr Andrews would be less, but quality top of the line sports doctors who work for teams.

I wasted my 1500 post on this? Man, I need to think before I speak! Was 9 points away from my light green thingy. Should have been more witty to get to my goal:D Not sure if anyone else thinks about dumb things like this or if it is only me.

This is why you strongly consider packaging your prospects for proven ML talent

Bundy in a package for Justin Upton, or Giacarlo Stanton, or even Mike Morse might have turned out brilliant.

Of course I know hindsight is 20/20

But my point is I could never understand all the talk of Bundy, Gausman, Schoop being untouchable.

Of course everything you say has an anti Oriole agenda, so assume none of your statements can be taken at face value.

I wonder how this makes people feel that Arizona wanted Bundy for Upton. Yes its early, but he looks like an MVP.

You all do realize that no non-Yankee team can make a general policy of trading prospects for established talent. Right? The payroll quickly becomes totally unsustainable and you never build a base of solid inexpensive players.

I didn't say all of our cost efficient players. I said one player...

Not true. If you're trying to contend and need a certain piece, that's exactly what you do. I haven't seen anyone proposing to do this all the time with all of our prospects, but occasionally it is necessary.

Bundy signed a 5 yr/$6.225 million dollar contract. That's not really cost efficient. That is 1.245 million a year. He is making over the ML minimum. Not to mention he got a 4M singing bonus that is broken into the 5 years to be paid out annually.

Who's the last drafted pitcher that actually worked out for us and turned into an ace? Mike Mussina?.. not saying Bundy and Gausman aren't going to be great pitchers but man this stuff gets frustrating sometimes.

According to some posters, Gausman should be dealt before he feels a slight tightness in his throwing arm and he ends up on the scrap heap too?

As with all trades, maybe he should be dealt. It always depends on what you are getting back in return. To make someone who hasn't won 1 game in the ML "untouchable" is not wise.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      It’s probably fairly inevitable that Grayson will need TJ at some point in his career. Velo increases the risk. However, it’s very common for all pitchers, regardless of velo. The biggest thing Grayson has going for him is that he’s made it to age 24 without a shoulder or elbow injury (at least that I can recall), which already separates him from many others in the high velo club. The best predictor of future injuries is past injuries, and while he did have that lat issue that knocked him out for a fair bit his record is pretty clean in that respect.  Also, it’s more the conventional baseball wisdom than something I’m aware of being supported in stats, but Grayson has a prototypical pitcher’s frame and in theory that could help his durability. It doesn’t seem like he generates his velo from a max effort delivery.

      It was a fastball.   If you’re bailing out on a fastball from a LHP with a 3/4 delivery like that I think there’s a problem but if you think it’s perfectly fine you’re entitled to your opinion.

      It’s been a few years, but I seem to recall there was some talk about his playing 2B when Duquette was still here. Might have been some kind of instructional league chatter or something. It certainly cannot hurt.

      Yesterday's Lineup - Thank You Mike Elias and Sig Mejdal

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I'm not sure that I understand all of your post. In particular the mentioning of Elias and Adley in comparison to Belichick and Brady. That is an apples to strawberries comparison at best. Both are fruit and red and round, otherwise unalike. Brady's role as QB and BB's role as head coach and GM is far different and much more directly central to success than Elias GM and certainly Adley as a catcher. However, when speaking about Hal Steinbrenner being an impediment to Elias remaining as GM of the Orioles long term, I don't see it. NY is a totally different market than here. You are NEVER going to be given 4 years for a total tear down and all the future building moves for the sake of the present won't fly in NY. Yes, I am sure than other owners like Steinbrenner envy what the O's have amassed. It's why they changed the draft rules. However, some owners know that the path that Elias used to get the Orioles to where they are is not viable in their markets as they know how alienating it would be to their fanbase. This is to say, that if Elias wants to be here, Rubenstein has the pockets that are plenty deep enough to make that happen. It's probably going to be a similar contract to what the Mets are paying Stearns and the Dodgers are paying Friedman.

      If he can't locate the breaking stuff and throw the fastball with a good location he gets destroyed. I keep hearing how good his stuff is, but his pitch values are not good on anything but his offspeed pitch. His fastball had negative run value last year and it does again this year. Barrel and hard hit % are both up this year too. I guess he'll live or die by the changeup if it's working or not. Whiff rate and K% are good not great according to statcast.

      If the Sacramento A's need a second baseman I am fine with this.
