Ubaldo can't be on the post season roster....can he?

Technically he is eligible. But no one is "forced" to be on a 25 man playoff roster like they are on the regular 25 man.

He will be left of the roster easily. The Giants did the same with Barry Zito in 2010 even though he was their highest paid player.

Yes, if 4 other starting pitchers get injured in an industrial accident.

2014 Orioles ALDS SP Rotation:

Ubaldo Jimenez - #1

Joe Saunders - #2

TJ McFarland - #3

Sebastian Vader - #4

At least this would take on new meaning with Vader on our team: :vader:

Now if only we had Luke Scott on our team still... :scratchchinhmm:

I realize that. I also realize that the guy feels like crap for the way he's pitched this year,

I know. And I understand the sentiment and what you're saying, he's a good person, at the end of the day it's just a game, he doesn't deserve to be treated badly as a human being. In person I will try never to boo another Oriole a game, and that's a sincere pledge.

At the same time that feels like a red herring. This guy is freaking robbing this team. He's a very nice, sweet, sincere robber trying not to rob us. Which is just another way of saying he's a robber.

He wpuldn't be starting if not for the DH. I feel ya. I just feel bad because i want him to figure it out. Hopefully he settles in here.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      This seems to be happening quite frequently around the league. Which makes me rethink the idea of giving players early extensions in their young careers. Baseball is a difficult game and no season in a player's career is exactly like another.  Baseball is a volatile game. There's so many things that can happen to a player's habits and mechanics that can change his results in the game. (Speaking of no season being the same, how many batting stances did we see Cal Ripken Jr go through over the course of his career? ALOT.)

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      No. And having said that, Basallo is not known for his defense as a catcher either. He's known as a power hitter. Adley is by far the better catcher. Basallo has been compared to Yordan Alvarez of the Astros. Great hitter. He's in the lineup for his bat and you just hope he can play adequate defense. Any expectations of him usurping Rutschman as an every day catcher is wishful thinking. He could still develop as a catcher because he's young, in which case he could become something like the Royals' Salvador Perez. But I would in no circumstances trade Basallof for Chrochet.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By rudyrooster · Posted

      If it turns out that Bradish is done for the season or has to spend extended time on IL,  might the O's make the move to sign Trevor Bauer?  He's pitching very well in the Mexican League.  Wouldn't surprise me to see some team sign him between now and the trade deadline.  Just askin...

      I wouldn't put it past the O's offense to carry them in a similar way. But I wouldn't want to count on it, either.  (For reference on the difference, looks like Texas scored 5.71 runs/game during the postseason last year. The O's are at 5.07 runs/game this season.)

      Totally 💯 agree with you . The problem is agents like Boras are asking 8-10 years deals with pitchers opt-outs sprinkling in them .

      I'm hoping the PRP injection wasn't just buying Bradish a few months only delaying the inevitable Tommy John surgery. If Bradish ends up going under the knife there's a decent chance we won't see him again until 2026. Bradish was throwing really hard tonight so I'm hoping it's just some soreness from overexerting himself and he'll be fine with a little time off. This isn't encouraging and Elias is going to be busy working the phones for pitching help the next 45 days.
