Gary announced he has done it 7 times so far this season.

Ok. I was asking about the leads the league part. I do appreciate the clarification, though. The giving runs back thing has been a meme around here for some time. Any quantification and how it compares to the rest of the league is appreciated.

Tillman struggled early last season then settled in to be pretty darn good. He's got a chance to get out of this inning with zero damage. Maybe we can wait a little before throwing dirt on him.

Its the game thread. You MUST grossly overreact to short term trends. Jimmy Paredes was hitting well as recently as Wednesday, but he has been in a 3 day slump so he needs to be benched or moved down in the order. Tillman has been our best, most consistent pitcher since 2012 but he's off to a poor start this year and we're not even two months into the season, so suddenly he sucks, is a #4 or #5 starter, and we shouldn't think about extending him. On the micro level, he has given up 2 runs in 4 in innings, mostly due to bloop hits and an error, so that means he's terrible and you see crap like "hopefully his pitch count gets him out of the game before he gives up too many runs".

Remember... The baseball season is really short. If you have a bad inning, it means you will have a bad game. If you have a bad 3 day stretch, you should be benched. If you have a bad month or two, your season is lost and you should be cut.

Always remember to overreact to short term trends, especially negative ones. Like the saying goes, you are always as bad as you look when you're losing. That's what it says, right?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I definitely see your point with this. At this point, we should make the playoffs, barring major injuries and drop offs. So, how much does it matter who your 4th and 5th starters are in the playoffs? Even your 3rd starter may only pitch one game of a 7 game series, but your pen is going to be out there every single game. Go get the pen arms.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      There is an argument to be made that you bring in 2-3 new relievers and make the offense even better. Solve your weakness and improve upon your strength.  And just go with what you have at starter.    Playoffs are largely about scoring and your bullpen anymore.  You hope for 5, maybe 6 good innings out of your starter.  You need your starters to not lose you the game. forget the bigger name closer type guys.  Go after the guys like Nardi and Walker.  They won’t cost you any of your top guys. And make a play for Robert. An injury prone guy but a potential difference making talent when he’s healthy. Plus it gives us another righty and he can play CF at a high level. Maybe you just do something like that, get Mayo and Holliday up here and try to bludgeon teams.

      The long innings yesterday momentarily enabled him to regain "qualified" status with 70.1 innings in 70 team games. Mid-June Fangraphs has 74 arms keeping the pace.    Grayson lands: 3rd in PitchingBot estimated ERA 5th in Stuff+ 10th in Fastball velocity 27th in ERA 24th in K-bb 34th in fWAR Past 1 Calendar Year, he and Zack Wheeler have the same ERA.

      Gotta think he's got a good chance at getting selected for the All Star Game along with Burnes and maybe Kimbrell

      I agree with a lot of this. I think I also should’ve decided the offense of stats of the guys ahead of him. Because other than the big three, the rest of the stats really aren’t very impressive for the remaining outfielders in the American League. I just seems like this year, for whatever reason there is a ton of outfielders with great  offensive production.

      How many times has an Oriole rookie tried to establish himself while also dealing with being Mooooore than just a rookie. I think Cowser will be fine and I hope patience prevails. Stats aside, I see something. I mean in all his struggles - ups and downs - that "fun" personality prevails. Gotta root for that - right? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
