Orioles' W-L in last year's starting pitchers' starts


Frobby

Recommended Posts

Wei-Yin Chen 19-12 (11-8)

Ubaldo Jimenez 18-14 (12-10)

Chris Tillman 15-16 (11-11)

Miguel Gonzalez 12-14 (9-12)

Kevin Gausman 7-10 (3-7 as a starter)

Bud Norris 4-7 (2-6 as a starter)

Mike Wright 3-6 (2-5 as a starter)

Tyler Wilson 3-2 (1-2 as a starter)

People remember how bad Bud Norris was last year, but contrary to popular opinion, his starts were not an automatic loss and eliminating his starts does not make up for the loss of Chen.

The Orioles were about a .666 club with Tillman on the mound the 3 previous years. He and Gausman will have to carry us to an extent.

Would you sign up right now for the Orioles to be 2 games over .500 if Gonzo and Ubaldo combine for about 60 starts? If course what the Orioles get out of their number 5 starter plays into that thinking.

I would sign up right now for 18-14 from Ubaldo.

If 3-5 pitch .500 ball can Tillman and Gausman pitch at least 18 games over .500 to get to 90 wins? 40-22 combined? If you get 4 games over from 3-5 that gives some leeway to 38-24 from the top 2.

Interesting stuff Frobby.

Compared to 2014, Tillman and Norris had the 2 biggest differences in performance (I think we all knew that). But purely looking at W/L, Miguel had only a delta of 4 games.

Nobody is everything. If Tillman reverts to 2014 form, and everyone else stays the same and we get a significant downgrade from Chen in the other spot, we end up in about the same spot as this year.

Pretty much. We need to add another solid .500+ pitcher. And I'm not sure if Gallardo is that.

Last year the Rangers were 19-14 when he started, in 2014, Milwaukee was 12-20. Is that worth the gamble?

Gausman and Tillman will more than make up for Chen, who benefited from a transcendent O's offense. Chen won't be a winner anymore, good front office decision to cut him loose and save the money for Davis, well worth all those years. Especially as Angelos made him take do much deferred money. Tillman will be top 5 Cy Young candidate.

The loss of Chen is going a big regret by the Orioles.

The starters records are not just a reflection of how they pitched but also how the defense played and how the relievers pitched.

...and we are assuming the bullpen will be great again, which may not be the case though we expect it.

Kevin Gausman 7-10 (3-7 as a starter)

That is what has to improve most IMO; the team needs to win more games that Gausman starts. I believe the stability of starting every turn in the rotation will help KG.

Also, if the rumor about Gallardo is true, he will provide additional stability in that rotation. Probably not 19-12 but you never know.

    • I can't imagine they have any expectation of Mateo going back to being a regular. If he's going on his annual hot streak, then it's smart to ride him until he gasses out, then shift him back to his reserve role. Holliday is taking that full-time spot soon enough. 
    • Urias has a career 103 OPS+. Had two hits and a walk today plus another squared up ball for an out. I feel like Urias is a bit of a forgotten man, but he is a very solid defender and an average bat. That's probably not good enough for us but that is because we are spoiled with plus guys at basically every position. I agree on Westburg though, if Mayo doesn't end up with 3B, Westburg is adequate there and so far his bat can play for a corner IF.  Hitting on Westburg and Gunnar the way we have really pushes our system over the top. These are guys we weren't necessarily counting on but they are turning into bona fide stars. Only question is how to find room for them all. Westburg 3B makes Mayo the heir apparent at 1B. Somehow he needs to push Mountcastle but he's not a FA until 2027. Maybe he takes Santander's spot and Kjerstad keeps waiting. 
    • Interesting.  You know Gunnar and De La Cruz are the same age, yet Gunnar's put up 9.4 career WAR to poor Elly's 2.7.  If anyone was overrated during the last series it was Nick Lodolo.
    • I wondered about that too.  Maybe he'll take his turn on the IL when Grayson is ready to return.  
    • It’s silly to be judging Bradfield at this stage.  I don’t know if he’ll be good or not, but I know you need to give him a couple of months at least before you have any clue.
    • Anyone else notice Kremer shaking his hand or fingers the last couple games and looking like he’s in pain?  I’m surprised Ben and Kevin didn’t pick up on it today.  It looked obvious to me.
    • Povich is a starter. It makes no sense to bring him up and put him in Baumann’s role. Especially not in a short term situation when he’s pitching so well starting in Norfolk.    also - it kind of feels like Baumann is just a placeholder. When wells and/or Grayson come back, there isn’t another logical move other than maybe option akin, who has pitched dramatically better than Baumann. But I can’t imagine Baumann surviving both wells and Grayson coming back without another injury.    I don’t think Elias is doing anything crazy other than holding onto assets with value until it’s necessary to let them go. Is Tate probably better in the long term? Yeah. But he’s also coming off a year long injury and they don’t want to overuse him. Let them use his option for the flexibility, manage his innings, let Baumann either prove he can rediscover early 2023 form or get dfa’d in the coming weeks while eating whatever innings we need him to. Not like he’s costing us games at the moment.
