Looks like they have him stretched out to replace the next starter to hit the DL or get demoted. We could be looking at a career year for ole' TMac.

Fingers crossed.

I caught the tail-end of Buck's interview with Roch Kubatko on last night's pre-game show, and Buck was talking up TJ's abilities as a starter. Maybe they are just trying to boost his trade value, but at face value it suggests that TJ is likely to get a shot at starting some time this summer. If Yovani Gallardo and Ubaldo Jimenez continue to struggle then I think his opportunity will come sooner rather than later.

(MAY 29th)

Andy Oliver is listed as the AAA-Tides' starting pitcher today, and not T.J. McFarland, as was originally scheduled.

I hope that it's a healthy scratch, and more about possibly needing a fresh arm up here.

Taking into consideration the fact that Jimenez only went 1.67 innings yesterday (coupled with the fact that the Orioles don't have off tomorrow), I think that that is a good possibility.

Speaking of Andy Oliver, he's worth keeping an eye on. The former first-round pick has always had control problems. MAYBE, at age 28, he's having a breakthrough of sorts. Just 8 walks in 31 innings, and 1 walk in his last 3 games (12 IP) as he starts to build up innings as a starter. If it continues, he's an option.

Thank you.

We're keeping tabs on him in this thread:

He had a streak of 16.33 consecutive shutout innings snapped in his last outing, when he ceded 1 run in 5 innings pitched.

(JUNE 1st)

T.J. McFarland is on his way to join the the Orioles in Baltimore.

The corresponding move is not yet known.

Probably Ashur Tolliver. It's a shame. Really liked him.

Or Flaherty or Janish.

Flaherty is in the lineup tonight:

Probably Tolliver or Janish (I'm guessing Tolliver.)

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
