So who goes down for Gonzalez? Better not be Brach.

I'm guessing Phelps. We haven't even used him, and he can return Sept 1 when rosters expand. That's only 10 days (less if the roster move happens on Sun right before MiGo's start).

I have lost track of time and Gonzo. Did he pitch a start for the Tides?

Simulated game earlier this week? 75 pitches, 5 innings. MASN showed Buck talking about this during one of the pregames. He said they even had an umpire, so they simulated ball and strike calls too. LOL

WOW.

I bet that Angelos is fuming right now.

I predicted all offseason that Jimenez would end up being a bad signing for the team foolish enough to burn the pick and pay him big bucks.

Too bad it was us :(

When Peter A. has a World Series ring he might not care as much.

He started against Buffalo last week, my sister went to the game. He was on a pitch count, and I believe he went 5 innings giving up only one hit.

He will be up with the September callups and most likely on the playoff roster.

He was optioned, mostly, because he had options.

I don't see Webb on the playoff roster. Who are you taking off to have him? Keep in mind they may not even have 12 pitchers.

And if it is? DD and Buck have got this team on the right track.

Of course they do. But Brach has been outstanding out of the pen. Take Monday for example. You want to give MOB a break? Have Brach shut it down for two innings. It's not like another guy who can get one or two outs and then needs to be bailed out by his teammates.

Brian Matusz.

TJ might also not be on the playoff roster. Typically there is no need for a long man in the playoffs.

Especially, if the manager shortens his 5 man SP crew to 4 man for the playoffs, in order to get to this top 2 guys again. The 5th starter becomes the long man.

Moe begs to differ.

I know, you said typically, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to remember Moe Drabowski's outstanding performance in the O's first World Series. And of course, the Orioles (as all teams) operated with a 4-man rotation in 1966.

Look, how far back you had to go? :)

The Birds had 4 good starters then,

Also then, it wasn't unusual for a manager to go with his best 2 or 3 guys, and hence, the dropped starter was the long man in the pen.

We basically have 14 MLB pitchers-the current 12+Webb and Gonzalez. In the post season it is likely they carry 11 pitchers and an extra position player. So you have 3 pitchers on the outside: Matusz, Jimenez, and Webb.

Yes, they could swap TJM and Webb, but I believe they'll edge to the guy who can go multiple innings as opposed to the 4th string one inning right hander.

Webb may make the playoff cut, but I think it's more likely he won't.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
