Wow, this guy won't let up. Pearce 2014-esque.

Speaking of, I'm really curious what happened to Pearce.. I understand maybe a player could have a nice hot streak which belies his actual ability, but Pearce played at a high high level for nearly a year. Felt like he turned a corner.. where did that player go?

Last year was a freak event. Pearce has never been a good player and he's returned to his rightful position as a AAAA guy, who should get some AB's off the bench but should never be starting on a team with playoff aspirations.

I'm glad they rewarded him for his good year last year but I wouldn't give him anything other than a MiL deal next year.

I agree he never showed anything near what he did last year. But he maintained that level of play all year. I thought there was a lot of talk that he changed his stance and that was the reason for his reinvention? I guess not.

But he is a very good defensive player. He just can not bat.

And we have a team full of AAAA players that are very good defensive players.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There is an argument to be made that you bring in 2-3 new relievers and make the offense even better. Solve your weakness and improve upon your strength.  And just go with what you have at starter.    Playoffs are largely about scoring and your bullpen anymore.  You hope for 5, maybe 6 good innings out of your starter.  You need your starters to not lose you the game. forget the bigger name closer type guys.  Go after the guys like Nardi and Walker.  They won’t cost you any of your top guys. And make a play for Robert. An injury prone guy but a potential difference making talent when he’s healthy. Plus it gives us another righty and he can play CF at a high level. Maybe you just do something like that, get Mayo and Holliday up here and try to bludgeon teams.

      The long innings yesterday momentarily enabled him to regain "qualified" status with 70.1 innings in 70 team games. Mid-June Fangraphs has 74 arms keeping the pace.    Grayson lands: 3rd in PitchingBot estimated ERA 5th in Stuff+ 10th in Fastball velocity 27th in ERA 24th in K-bb 34th in fWAR Past 1 Calendar Year, he and Zack Wheeler have the same ERA.

      Gotta think he's got a good chance at getting selected for the All Star Game along with Burnes and maybe Kimbrell

      I agree with a lot of this. I think I also should’ve decided the offense of stats of the guys ahead of him. Because other than the big three, the rest of the stats really aren’t very impressive for the remaining outfielders in the American League. I just seems like this year, for whatever reason there is a ton of outfielders with great  offensive production.

      How many times has an Oriole rookie tried to establish himself while also dealing with being Mooooore than just a rookie. I think Cowser will be fine and I hope patience prevails. Stats aside, I see something. I mean in all his struggles - ups and downs - that "fun" personality prevails. Gotta root for that - right? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

      He definitely overthrows at times.  To lefties, it’s normally the high and outside overthrow and to righties it’s normally the non competitive high fastball. But overall, he’s really pitching at a high level.    Part of the reason offense is down is because of arms like Rodriguez.
