I think if there is a save situation tomorrow night it goes toOday, Hunter or Matusz.

If there is a game here were we get a lead or are down big get JJ some work

He cant keep working out by giving away games. 1 was something, 2 a problem, 3 is really bad if we end up missing the playoffs.

Not saying bench him but you gotta at this point be sure the guy is ok before you trot him out again.

He hit 97.....he's not injured. He's just lost confidence and command.

We all know it.......buck should too.

A break for a game or two might be a good idea. No doubt.

So 6 straight losses. 3 of them directly on JJ. 100 some straight wins when leading after 7. 2 straight losses after 7 now. Again, thanks alot JJ. You know you're on the Orioles right?

I really feel bad for the rest of the team as there's no doubt that they know in the back of their heads JJ will not close out the game for them, at least right now. Maybe you should learn how to pitch Johnson. You don't throw sinkers letter high in the middle of the plate.

Oh and don't go saying this team is bad now. This is the same team that started 23-15 and should be 26-18 right now. Instead we are 23-21 because our closer is the worst in the MLB. Yes I said it. ERA over 4. 4 losses. 3 blown saves. In 1/4th of a season.

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      Garcia is getting some pub from different spots.  Could be a major riser.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
