As the rotation turns, 2015

Gonzalez indeed kept the rotation turning after a rough start to last night's game.

Chen did too.

Like Gonzalez, Chen had some trouble early on, but he hung in there to keep the Orioles in the game and give them a chance.

Unlike Gonzalez, he got no support at all from the Orioles' offense. They (the offense) didn't show any signs of life until Chen was already out of the game, and they came up short anyway.

The starting pitching has been pretty stable as of late.

(MAY 26th)

Another solid start (Chris Tillman, 7 innings, 2 runs) ended with with another Orioles loss, as the offense continues to struggle.

Tillman started the game with 6 shutout innings on only 74 pitches.

He (Tillman) gave up 2 big runs in a 20-pitch 7th inning, although he was working with the slimmest of margins ...... the game was a scoreless tie for the first 6 innings that Tillman was pitching, and he was given a 1-0 lead by the Oriole offense when he entered the 7th inning.

This turn could've been better. Gonzo and Chen didn't last long. Tillman and Jimenez lost leads late in their games.

Nice to see Norris turn in a pretty decent start. Ubaldo was very fortunate to allow only 1 run in 5 IP in his turn.

Nice to see Norris turn in a pretty decent start. Ubaldo was very fortunate to allow only 1 run in 5 IP in his turn.

Ubaldo said somethng rather strange after this last outing. He said that he couldn't "feel" the ball; he said that it was as if baby powder was on the ball. I think that he just didn't have it that day. It happens to all pitchers. He did get some timely strikeouts -- plus a few really good defensive plays- to get out of his jams. He should do better this coming week against the Yanks.

Turn 14 was the worst of the year -- and we won 3 out of 5.

    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
    • Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers
    • I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
