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.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
