I was THRILLED with Wrights performance. But its ONE performance. I saw Chris Waters pitch a one hitter in his MLB debut in Anaheim.He may be working at Home Depot now. Thats NOT to denigrate Wright. I just want to see it repeat. Often.If he is real good, you could see Norris traded soon even if we don't get much return.I can't see Norris having 3 or 4 more bad starts.God how I wish we had Arrieta and Simon now. I know why they aren't here, but I wish I had them NOW.

Last I heard Chris Waters was a coach for an independent team in Hawaii. Pitched for York for a while. Brother was paralyzed from neck down.

Alfredo Simon has been with seven different organizations, some of them multiple times, for a reason. Sure some guys magically find it later in their career, but having him or anyone else doesn't solve the problem and reality that our problems have to do with what is already here. Never mind that 3/5 of the rotation has been pretty consistent and at times great. Now they need Tillman to piece it back together.

I kind of understand this thinking, but it is better for Norris' value if he has a DL stint vs being sent to the bullpen.

And since he'll be pitching for someone else he wants that stint to be viewed as a starter, not in the BP as a failed one. There's really no shame for him on the DL especially if the weight loss is true. It'll viewed as him needing to get back to full strength.

Believe it or not, the book is not completely closed on all of my original Big Ten ...... and that list of mine was from 2009.

http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/122486-OFFNY-s-Original-Big-Ten-from-2009

I was hoping to get at least 2 or 3 solid starters and/or relievers from that list.

We have Tillman and Britton. Matusz is an average reliever (unlike Britton, who is excellent out of the bullpen.) Arrieta plays for another team. I loved Brad Bergesen, particularly before that line drive broke his leg in a season in which he was possibly headed for a Rookie of the Year award.

Great post. IIRC that same game he got the broken leg, he had taken over the AL lead in ERA just innings before. Just for comparison sake this next wave looks pretty good.

1. Gausman-MLB DL

2. Bundy-AA

3. Harvey-DL

4. Ed Rod (he was lumped in with these guys before the trade)- AAA w/Boston

5. Wright-MLB

6. Davies-AAA

7. Wilson-AAA

8. Givens-AA

9. Berry-AA

10.Kline-AA

Almost all of these guys will be ready to compete to fill the open spots in ST next year. Or trade chips.

He hasn't pitched what since last Sunday? That is already a week. I brought up the idea of a DL stint before his last start, not that I thought it would happen. I mean at this point we are talking about missing maybe only 1 start?

I am excited about our arms, at least I think we have some good arms for the pen, just never know if someone will stick in the rotation, I hope our position prospects step up.

Tim Berry is NOT pitching well. At all.

I've got a M151A2 sitting out in my barn right now. Granted, it doesn't look nearly as good as that and it's in about 300 pieces.

Oh yeah, baseball....I really liked watching Wright's demeanor today. Seemed to be very confident, really on the good side of that fine line between confident and cocky.

      The Braves series, June 11-13

      It's pretty hard to say definitively that the bolded is true.  It might be, but there's also the loss in ability you have to account for.  30 year olds are slower than 26 year olds too.  Maybe their game knowledge and practice have made it so they can overcome the meager loss in bat speed/athleticism over that time span.  But the picture is a bit muddy.   I also don't think the aging issue is limited to people in their mid-late 30s.  Bat speed peaks at like 24 or 25 based on the data we have right now on it, and after 31 starts falling off fairly fast.  Obviously this is population data and individuals are likely to see different curves.   But outside of the stars that have a lot of ability to lose, it's becoming pretty clear that once you hit your early 30s it's pretty hard to maintain your skills without all the "help" that is extensively tested for.   I think that even for early-30s players teams are much more willing to drop them over giving them expensive market-rate deals, especially since they can abuse young talent so readily.

      After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc
