I don't get the hand wringing by some on this move. It's the logical move if you ask me. First, the team needs a guy who can go multiple innings in their bullpen after last night's 13-inning (8-relief inning) affair. Two, it's makes the most sense to do bring someone up on the 40-man roster. Three, it's may only be for the weekend depending upon Gonzo' s PL. And lastly, this gives the Orioles a look at Arrieta out of the pen. Honestly, at this point, the Orioles should just convert him into a relief pitcher and see what he does in that role full-time.

Why not call up Mike Belfiore? He's on the 40 man. Unless they don't want a lefty? Which wouldn't make sense considering a lot of their lefties are power guys.

He's made 18 appearances, 32 2/3 IP. Averaging 2 IP. He's had a few 3+ IP affairs (a3 2/3 IP and a 3 1/3 IP) in the last 10 appearances. His ERA overall is 3.86, but 2.70 in his last 10 appearances. Good strikeout rate: 33 in 32 2/3 IP. Walks are 12 (~3 BB/9). Hits are right around a hit per inning. Maybe the WHIP is a concern at 1.41? But Arrieta has been atrocious down in AAA lately. His last 5 appearances:

May 7th: 6 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 2 SO, 2 BB, 292 average against

May 25th: 1 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO, 250 average against

May 29th: 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO, 063 average against

June 3rd: 5 2/3 IP, 8 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, 385 average against

June 9th: 4 2/3 IP, 7 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO, 409 average against

In those 5 appearances he's only struck out 8 hitters in 23 IP. That's a 3 SO/9. Number of walks? 9 for a 3.5 BB/9. That is a terrible ratio. He's allowed 28 hits. That's a 11 H/9. Total WHIP in that time? 1.609 WHIP.

I am not sure. Maybe they want to show Jake off.

OK, so let's say Gonzalez misses his next start on paternity leave, Sunday 6/16. Gausman last started on 6/13, so he won't be ready. If you call Britton up in the paternity move, then Gausman has to stay down 10 days. So then on Gausman's turn, 6/18, who goes? It seems to me that if they need Britton on Sunday, they need to still make the move for Gausman in exchange for Gonzalez to get him back up here, and then make a separate move to bring up Britton.

The other question is: when Gonzalez comes back, which one goes down? The other other question is: when Chen comes back, does the other one go down? It all depends on performance I suppose. But there's a lot to think about.

They will both go down. You are right though when Miggy goes on the paternity list Gausman or Britton will come up and make the start Tuesday. Unless he goes before Sunday then which i think they would bring both Britton and Gausman with Arrieta going back down and Miggy going on paternity list. Arrieta will not come up here to start just relief. Today and tomorrow will make show what happens. I am sure they have a very good idea when Miggy will go on the paternity list they can send her to the DR. at this point and he can give a very good idea atleast when she goes in labor.

This is the right move for a number of reasons, some of them procedural .Plus Jake could be a good option in many situations IF

he can throw strikes. And, its not likely he will be here for long anyway.

Too bad the other Orioles pitchers don't receive the same benefit of the doubt you continually offer Arrieta, who hangs himself with his short leash every time.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
