Didn't he just pitch 5 scoreless over two games? His ERA is like 1.5 below Hunter.

No he has not pitched five scoreless over two games. He pitched 2.2 scoreless. Probably could have gone three if he hadn't been caught cheating. Before that he was asked to bridge the starter in a rainout. It took him 30+ pitches to get through an inning and give up 2 runs.

This is going to be the third loss in four games that should have been a win. The O's should have been on a six-game winning streak at the end of the game today. Instead they will be 3-3. This is a big turnaround in the standings, in just one week of baseball. The Orioles this year are just good enough to lose in teasing fashion.

I must admit I was busy and completely missed Sunday's game. But it was 5-2 and Miguel didn't pitch well. How can you count that as a he we should have won?

Don't let logic get in the way of a good lynching.

ERA is not a good indicator and Matusz is a reliever. You wonder why his ERA is so low? Look no further than his IS% 33 which is really bad. That means when guys are on base when Matusz enters the game they score at nearly double the rate of a good reliever.

As cheap as people say we are' date=' the one areas where we are spending too much money in is the bullpen. Gregg, JJ, Matsuz, Hunter. These are guys who took up too much resources relative to what they produce. Our bullpen should consist of cheap arms with options.[/quote']

I agree. No Miller this year and no O'Day next year. Might as well get that going this year...bring up Drake, Gamboa, Wright, Gausman when he is back, hope Garcia gets well and better, and get the cheaper arms going in the pen and rotation. Get rid of Matusz, Norris, trade Hunter, O'Day.... This will be more likely obviously if we fall out of contention.

Because we're better than the Marlins which means we're supposed to beat them every time, duh. That's how baseball works /s

    • 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. 
    • If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?
    • 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. 
    • Damn I wish I was that guy
    • 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
