LOL, of course he wouldn't clear waivers. There is a lot of hyperbole getting typed on here now. He has sucked this season no doubt. He needs to get fixed. An injury needs to happen. But rooting for him to be off the team forever is borderline insane unless you think 15 starts is more important and indicative of the future than 3 years.

Right here.

Right now.

I would let him go for salary relief.

Think how much worse he would have done compared to Wright and Tillman!

Wright has lost his mechanics. His first two starts, he was repeating his delivery and looked smooth. He looked anything but in the last few starts.

Maybe you're right and he will eventually right the ship... but are the O's really in a position to be patient with him, trotting him out there every 5th game with little to no chance of winning until something clicks?

Hunter made 20 starts in 2012 and had a 5.45 ERA. Of our pen, I'm not sure anyone else is sufficiently experienced as a starter to go the length, but at the same time, he's probably going to cede some runs.

If this gets ugly, Buck will probably let Hunter throw 85 pitches or so.

    • I had the Braves over the Orioles in 6 games.   The Orioles even with all injuries have held it together enough to make playoffs it doesn’t look like the Braves will.  
    • Absolutely. One thing we know Holliday can do is run fast. I didn't see where the 3Bman was playing, but probably off the bag with Mullins up so Holliday could get a decent lead for a squeeze play.
    • With the season coming to an end I be interested in hearing who you guys had in the world series before the season started and who do you have now? Myself it pains me to say I had the Yankees and Dodgers before the season started and obviously I've seen nothing to change that. I also had the Orioles at 88 wins and a WC and that's also looking pretty good. I also be interested in hearing where you guys had the Orioles at as well. 
    • Interesting but before the season started I picked the Orioles to win 88 games and be a WC and this is looking right on the nose. I also had the Yankees and Dodgers in the WS and right now they probably are the favorites. The Yankees have really started to come on now and playing really good baseball. It sucks to write that but true
    • I get it but it still sucks if that is the case. I love Rod and was glad they bought him back for another year but maybe if he feels that strongly he should be working for the Steelers. And of course it has to be the Ravens biggest rival on top of it. Lol
    • Cedric is 6th in fly ball rate among all MLB hitters with 400+ PAs. He’s not quite Anthony in that respect (no one is), but hitting a medium depth fly ball is a task that’s right down his alley.  Just not a disciplined professional at bat.  You could tell right away, from the swing he took at the ball below the strike zone, that he was trying to force it.  Both of them were.
    • I realize it’s not a Ravens board, but it’s hard not to notice the similarities between the teams DNA.   Watching both teams finding ways to lose games within their grasp is exasperating.  Maybe things will change at some point.  All we can do is hope I guess
