He's still far from done in the O's rotation. Buck likes his vets. He's in a walk year. He deserves the benefit of the doubt. I think we will know what his future is within the next two starts though.I like Mike Wright but its real early to get excited about him yet.

I agree with all of that except the part about him deserving the benefit of the doubt.

Why does he deserve the benefit of the doubt?

Stay classy Bud.

Sounds like the best way to get back to the major league club right away.

I'd eat 1/2 of his salary to move him. I want to like Norris, but I just don't think he's that good.

No way. He might be good in the bullpen. Plus, I think he is hurt. Not the same guy.

I thought about that - switching Gausman and Norris - but Mike Wright threw a nice wrench in those plans. I'd prefer Wright/Gausman to Gausman/Norris.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Lots of panic around here right now. Guys forget the Rangers were third in their division and only had 88 wins last season.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is my favorite Basallo clip so far. The swing is so fluid, it looks so effortless and the ball is just absolutely destroyed. It reminds me of homers by prime Chris Davis.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      The Orioles were bound to hit a rut. Get your hand off the panic button.    The Orioles aren’t signing Bauer. So just Fudget about him. The don’t need to trade Holliday and Kjerstad. I’m okay if he finds a guy worth paying a top guy return along with a few others ala Kirby, Gilbert, Castillo etc.   Stop patting yourself on the back. We lost as did everyone else to a hot Rangers team. We are still 7 up in the top wildcard slot. And as Texas proved is all you have to do is get in to have a shot.

      It’s becoming unglued?  Because of losing streak that almost every team goes through in any given season?  Really?

      The Os pen isn’t good. With DC out, they just don’t have any arms you want to rely on. They don’t miss a lot of bats, don’t get a lot of Ks and the walk rate is higher than you want it to be. Kimbrel is fine but nothing special. He has been exactly what I thought he would be and maybe even a little better than that but hes not what we had last year, which was special. Cano is better than a dime a dozen guy but not by a ton.    Baker looks good and maybe he’s poised to have the year some of us thought he would have in 2023 but he has a ways to go to prove that.

      Yes, I bolded that part to indicate that was to what I was referring.

      This group hasn’t burned you though. This is the biggest test for Elias since the team got good. The bottom line is the Os need pitching help and they have too much talent in the minors and too many subpar guys in the majors eating up at bats. You built this farm system up and are so proud of it and now it’s time to use it to its full potential.    I understand the Holliday injury likely sets him back until after the AS break, at least but assuming he’s hitting (which he has been or he’s been walking a ton) and once he is able to start throwing pain free, he needs to be up here.  Mayo needs to be up here yesterday.  It’s just time.  Sitting on ML ready top 10 prospects when below average MLers are playing in front of them just doesn’t make sense. You have a glaring weakness of too many lefties and a manager/GM that just won’t play lefties vs lefties. You have McCann playing way too much. Mayo needs to be up here right now. And then you need to use the rest of the system(and maybe ML team), not Basallo, and go get the pitching you need.
