Let's not and say we did. First, I don't think Bundy and Gausman get us Sale. Second, I don't think Sale alone would make us a contender if we aren't already a contender without him. He only makes a difference every 5 days. He might give us a chance to win in 2 or 3 games that a #4 starter would blow in his place. I don't think we're going to secure a playoff berth or lose one by 2 games this year, with the Red Sox and Rays as good as they are.

We need an ace. We do not currently have a game 1 starter if we even make it that far.

Bundy just had tommy John and gausman needs a better third pitch.

We need to go all in to beat the sox and rays, sale is an impact player......Norris and Vargas are not.

But keep in mind he had so many starts for us when he pitched well through three or four innings and then totally fell apart.

Exactly. I can remember attending an Angels game out here when he went head to head with Weaver. He was unhittable the first few innings and we were winning after a Wieters HR. Jake then imploded in I want to say the fourth inning and couldn't get anyone out. It was almost as if he forgot how to pitch.

Lol, McLouth has been caught stealing repeatedly his past few times. He is starting to remind me of Wieters in terms of speed. Should just sit tight.

Shut off your PC, call a friend because you should not drive, and get yourself to an eye doctor post haste. Something is terribly wrong with your eyes.

Okay are you doing this on purpose because I swear I've seen you and Roy post that exact thing a couple times each? Deja vu.

That's the first time I've ever posted it, I was picking up the slack for Roy, but then he posted it.

      Kremer or Suarez for Game 3

      By Orioles0615 · Posted

      Kremer has been the better pitcher this month, needs a super quick hook though

      Shout out to Dean. That was a nice performance in a big spot on the road. Well done.

      Dean Kremer 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Kremer's a good Gibson.    It has kind of entrenched watching Elias bolt together a good team that in the Driveline era, almost all pitchers are on a spectrum somewhere between Kyle Gibson and Felix Bautista.     If you could put 13 Felix Bautistas on a playoff staff, you would but we aren't quite there yet though Driveline and club labs are working on it every year. Even missing some time this year, since joining the rotation for good 6/5/2022: -Dean's 427.2 innings are 26th MLB-wide. -Dean's ERA is 3.85. -The pitchers with more innings and a better ERA are Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray, Kevin Gausman, George Kirby, Zack Wheeler, Zac Gallen, Dylan Cease, Chris Bassitt, Luis Castillo, Framber Valdez, Logan Gilbert, Corbin Burnes, Aaron Nola and Logan Webb.    Just them. Those 2.5 seasons also coincide with BAL having the AL's best record. It doesn't mean I feel I have the edge if ALDS Game 5 at Yankee Stadium is Dean Kremer v. Carlos Rodon, but he's someone I enjoy having on the team.     Have to figure he is a growth mindset and skill acquisition champion considering he volunteered in podcast that as a prep, he was like 5-6 and 130 pounds.

      Cowser BOMB in the 8th - biggest HR of the season

      Vegas has Gil at something like -200.

      I always like it when people think a manager managed a good game cause all the bullpen moves worked.

      Kremer or Suarez for Game 3

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Agreed, if they decided to start Suarez I wouldn't complain. Through August he was on a roll and I thought he was a virtual lock to be in the playoff rotation.  Still, Kremer is pitching better right now. He also is the same or better in just about any metric now that Albert's HR rate has normalized. Kremer has better OPS splits vs both RHB and LHB, higher K rate, lower WHIP. fWAR and K/BB are basically identical. I can't think of an objective reason to go with Albert.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      BTW, in what seems to be another recurring theme for the season, we seem to be hitting teams at just the wrong time. The Giants came in to BAL on a terrible run.  Since taking 2 of 3 from us, they've won 5 straight against contending teams Kansas City and Arizona. They have shutouts in 3 of those games and allowed 1 run in another.
