Im sorry, but stats doesn't tell everything. Poor command and high pitch counts. Why do you bother watching the game. Just look on your computer after the game and check the stats.

What? A pitcher who doesn't allow very many earned runs over 5+ innings per start is bad because...you don't like him? Did he forget to send you flowers on your birthday?

He just made it through 6 innings after allowing 3 ER (one of which shouldn't have been earned due to the rundown). But he's bad...just because?

I hope you enjoy watching the...what, four (?) major league pitchers who satisfy your entirely subjective standards.

As do runs scored (for the opponent.)

Gonzalez was let down by the defense twice today.

Once with an official error (Jones), and once with an unofficial error (Markakis.)

1-0 On Jones

2-0 On Gonzo couldn't put the hitter away 0-2 and that guy scored

4-0 On Gonzo too Nick not use to playing First base that kinda play will happen. Infante got a meatball and rocked it.

You know what else does? Having a hitter down in the count 0-2, then nibbling and walking the guy.

And I don't disagree but you can't blame pitch counts on pitchers all the time. So let's have some perspective Mr. I watch games. Clearly, you haven't today.

Do you ever respond without a snarky comment? I bet your a joy to be around in person. Glad I'll never experience that.

You can defend on that basis if you insist, but Nick didn't make a positioning error, or fail to scoop a difficult throw in the dirt. He made a mistake throwing a baseball less than 80 feet. That is the most basic, fundamental baseball activity I can think of.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By emmett16 · Posted

      You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.

      The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.

      Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.

      Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
