Poll? I think the options should be:

1. We gave up too much

2. Seems fair but I don't like it.

3. Seems pretty fair, I like it

4. It's a steal. Theo's nuts.

I vote for opinion 3

For some reason vbulletin posts poll threads before the poll is done.

I'm a "3" too. It's nice to be trading to "Win Now" and not be trading away spare parts at the deadline.

I like it. Feldman should be better and more consistent than Britton or Gausman. If he's not, you move him to the BP and call one of them up. Plus...we gave up two guys that probably weren't going to succeed here anyways. Seems like a smart deal.

The Orioles traded Jake Arrieta, Pedro Strop and two international signing slots to the Cubs for starter Scott Feldman? How do you feel about the trade?

I don't see how anyone could think we are either WS bound or worse off with this trade. The middle two options are viable though.

Not world beating, but a solid trade.

We jettison a reliever who was holding back bullets for Buck because of his potential as well as an starting pitcher who has gotten worse every year in the big leagues. We gain a starting pitcher for half a season who was pitching very well for a bad team. He can shore up the back of the rotation which in turn will make our bullpen a bit better.

Don't love it, but certainly like it. Love that we didn't have to trade Britton, Matusz, Gausman, Bundy, ERod, etc.

That point, I will agree with you, we didnt give up anything worth giving up.

I think my answer is closest to 2, it's not a bad trade. If it was just Arrieta and Strop I think I'd be a little more excited. Not a big fan of tossing in international slots as sweetener.

But... Feldman should be an ok back-end guy, should help shore up the rotation a bit. $4M for a little over half a year. I'm fine with it.

The guy once gave up 181 hits in 141 innings, he throws 88-89 MPH, he's been incredibly lucky this year, and the team we traded with had a much better trade option that we refused because we're too cheap.

I'm ecstatic, clearly.

What makes you say he's been incredibly lucky this year? I'm no sabermetric expert but he's a ground ball pitcher with a pretty consistently good FIP over the last three years and should benefit from our defense. I'm not ecstatic about the trade but we are a better team today than we were yesterday.

I might have liked to wait a bit longer and give up slightly more to get Garza or Gallardo or Nolasco, but perhaps the demands for those starters was too high.

This trade will improve the team. Feldman isn't great but he's a big upgrade over the disaster team of 5th starters we've sent out so far, so he'll give our rotation a nice boost. He's a pretty heavy groundball pitcher and we have maybe the best infield defense around so that might help keep his ERA down in the healthy 3s where it is now.

      Is Kramer pitching his way out of the playoff rotation?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent.

      Playoff Tickets

      By Moshagge3 · Posted

      I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.

      Magic Number !!

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      Do you need five starters in a playoff series? I think you only need four. In fact, your #1 could pitch three times in a seven-game series. Bumgarten (sp?) used to do that for SF and dominate.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Jim Palmer said John Means pitched himself into the #2 spot of the Playoff rotation. I agree. Especially because it gives us a 1, 2, 3 punch between the contrast mix of Means being a finess LHP compared to the RHP Power Pitcher that Grayson is starting right behind him. 1. Kyle Bradish 2. John Means 3. Grayson Rodriguez 4. Kyle Gibson or Dean Kremer 5. Manager's discretionary choice. (See how the series is going and decide a plan.)   I kind of wish we had another LHP who would be good enough to mix into the rotation because if you can mix thins up successfully it prevents the other team from getting away with being 1 dimensional.

      John Means 2023 (finally)

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      John Means looked like an Ace tonight. I agree with Jim Palmer who said that Means pitched himself into the #2 spot of the playoff rotation.  So the way I currently see the playoff rotation... 1. Bradish 2. Means 3. Rodriguez  4. Gibson/Kremer 5. Kremer/Gibson

      Obviously am happy for the Orioles...but so happy for Means to be back and have a chance to be at his best in such an important situation.  He looked fabulous!
