The Orioles will get a pitcher this week.

Whether they sign one of the high profile quartet or stumble around in retread crafty righty doldrums.

Dude. You are getting a pitcher.

I think it will be Elimination Joe Saunders.

So if they pick one up in the Rule V does that fulfill the prediction?

I just threw up a little. Mostly because I can see them going that route. He was an Oriole before.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      Let me first apologize to those not old enough to have experienced the following experiences from the 70's, since these might only apply to those of us who are 50+......did anyone else on here enjoy these?? 1. The Oriole bird comic drawings on the front page of the Sunpaper the morning after every game, capturing the result of the game and either showing the cartoon Bird beating up the other team, or getting somehow destroyed by them depending on the outcome of the previous day's game. 2. The line scores on the front page of sports section the morning after a west coast game, where the first 4 or 5 innings were in Sunpaper print font, and the last few innings and game totals were literally written in before the paper was printed. 3. The weekly Sporting News Magazine filled with box scores from the entire week.  I'm an accountant. in real life.....and back then, I lived for that stuff. 4. The Baseball crossword puzzles in the Baseball Digest...... Anyone remember those days??  Any others people would like to add???

      This year there are 181 pitchers with 50+ IP and at least 8.8 K/9. The league average is 8.7. Their median ERA+ is 118, well above average. There have been 153 with 50+ innings and 8.6 K/9 or fewer. Their median is 98, or slightly below average. The reason the total of these groups has a median of something like 108 is that the bad pitchers don't meet the 50 innings threshold.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      I'm going off memory from I guess now 20 years ago, but I think in Moneyball when Michael Lewis was doing the Voros McCracken synopsis, the illuminating anecdotes were look at how Pedro Martinez and Mike Mussina types oscillate between high and low BABIP seasons. Pedro 1999-2001 had a BABIP run of .323, .236, .307, suggesting even demigods like 2000 Pedro were still in the hands of the baseball gods. With most of this year in the books, here are 2023's Top/Bottom 5 among qualified Arms, as preview of whose ERA's are probably going up/down next year. Fortunate: Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell, Jordan Lyles*, Luis Castillo, Freddy Peralta Unfortunate: Dylan Cease, Brady Singer, Kevin Gausman, Charlie Morton, Jesus Luzardo *OMG, lol, lol, lol Set 2023 Jordan Lyles as a proof of concept bookend next to 2000 Pedro.

      You tell me. I'm not even sure where I would find that information.

      And also when a lot of teams had a throwaway spot in the lineup or three. Pitchers "batted" in the AL up through 1972, and in 1973 there were 28 regulars or semi-regulars with an OPS+ of 70 or lower. For reference, in 1973 a 70 OPS+ was about .610.  There were almost 50 regulars in '73 with an OPS+ under .650.  And 26 who hit one or zero homers in 300+ PAs. Why try to strike everyone out when 2, 3, 4 spots in the lineup were almost never going to hit a ball 325'?

      How did you take what I said and come to that conclusion? I'm honestly curious. I think I might not be the one to need a new set of glasses.  (btw I'm already a customer of Zenni)

      Should MLB Extend the Season?

      By Porky · Posted

      Agreed. 162 games have been played since 1961/1962. Teams have been playing in the current system for a long time now. It's up to playoff-bound teams to ensure that their roster is constructed to thrive in that system.
