No, just no!!! I kind of like what we have now. Now if Tilly would find a pothole :)

Last year, chemistry and karma were a given. This year, not so much. Wright has earned ever right to stay here.

Here's the way I see it: yes, regression was expected, he was lucky last year, and most reasonable expectations were that he wouldn't do as well this year.

But he was doing far worse than any reasonable projection. Something is clearly not right. So one of two things will happen:

1) The problems will still be there, he'll continue to be bombed, and his return to the rotation will only last a couple starts.

2) The trip to the DL and the minors sets him straight to some extent, and he is at least a serviceable back of the rotation guy. Which may be all we get out of Wright anyway, once the advance scouts start doing their thing and teams are better prepared to face him.

In other words, I don't think its a sky is falling situation. Yet.

Maybe the Orioles can trade him. You'll get nothing back but some club may eat some of his pay. He will not/should not be back in 2016 anyway.

Right. There's no way you offer him a QO at this point. Going into the season, if he repeated last season's results, I had assumed that we could offer it. (But) given his first 1/4 of the season, my bet is that we won't offer.

If we're not going to offer and we're not going to extend and he's not performing any better than available cheaper under-control assets then he should be shipped out.

In Dan we trust.

30.38 ERA at Norfolk. 7.20 ERA at Bowie. I don't want him back in the rotation until he has at least one quality start in the minors. I want to keep Mike Wright in the rotation for now.

Depth is great to have. There is no reason to rush Norris back into the rotation.

I'd forgotten he had actually recorded out in his Norfolk outing. ;)

He has been beyond awful. I like Bud but putting him back into the rotation is irresponsible.

What is going to happen when Gausman is ready to join the rotation? At some point you have to put in your best five guys.

Well Gausman is getting starts on the 6th and 11th at Norfolk. And could get more. A decision on him is at least three weeks away.

And now Scott Feldman is out for at least six weeks with torn meniscus. Wonder if they would have any interest in a Bud reunion?

I think with the prospects and payroll room they have at their disposal that they would set their sights higher then Bud.

Especially since he has ripped the organization since he left.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By forphase1 · Posted

      I think we sign one pitcher who is pretty much guaranteed a starting spot, hopefully a strong #1/#2 type, and then sign a couple guys to complete with Povich, Suarez (not sure his contract status) and Rogers for the #5 spot behind Eflin, signee, Grayson and Kremer.   With Grayson's injury history, I hope we get a decent arm or two that we can either stash in AAA or in the bullpen who can start when injuries inevitably happen.  Povich will be in that mix, but performance will hopefully determine who get is.  I'm encourages by his end of the year results, but certainly don't expect big things from him next year.

      Sure there is a ton of noise in those stats, just like there is in most/many stats.  But too many are acting like Santander is so good that he's irreplaceable and that our lineup is going to suffer by his absence.  He simply isn't that good of an all around hitter for the team to really miss him.  And while there is a ton of noise in the noted stats, they do show that at least this year he didn't show up big when we needed him.  Sure, he hit a handful of big home runs in some key situations, but by and large he wasn't really effective or impactful with RISP and came up very small in many key situations, along with the rest of the stinking team.

      And in 2023 he had a .305 average and .919 OPS with RISP. I don’t think he suddenly became unable to hit with RISP. There’s a ton of noise in those stats. Nobody on this team creates a black hole by not being in the lineup in the future, even Gunnar. It depends on team construction, return on trade, etc.

      I think the answer to this question depends upon how much you believe in Kjerstad (I think Mayo is ticketed for first base). I personally don’t based on what I have seen in Norfolk and Baltimore because I question whether he will get to his power due to his swing decisions, and think he will struggle with major league off speed pitches. He’ll also be in his age 26 season next year and, although that isn’t really his fault, I think the AAA numbers need to be viewed with his age in mind. I will be rooting for him to succeed because I want the Orioles to win. I just don’t have the same confidence in him that many seem to.

      Nope, see the above post.  He was 11th on the team in BA with RISP and 12 in OPS with RISP.  That isn't exactly a guy that's carrying a team when it matters or someone that's going to create a back hole by not being in the lineup in the future.

      No one did, including Santander.  And that's why we are sitting home now and had a bad 2nd half of the season.  None of the others though are a free agent expecting to get 20M a year or more.  That said, with RISP he was a .234 BA hitter with a .736 OPS.  That BA with RISP was 12th on the Os in 2024, while that OPS was 11th, though admittedly some of those above him were SSS guys like Stowers and Rivera.  That's not exactly someone that 'came up big'.  When he's up with RISP, or any other time frankly, I expect one of three things.  A home run, a strikeout or an easy out.  He's not going to do much else.  And we already have too many of those type hitters on the team, though none with his home run numbers obviously.  We really aren't going to miss his one dimensional bat as much as folks are acting like.  Give him the QO and wish him well.
