Gallardo bombed again in Sarasota


Norfolk orioles

Recommended Posts

Can't say I'm not worried...starting pitching has been terrible. Maybe they figure it out...otherwise looks like a bunch of 8-7 10-9 type games where most of the wins will come from pen.

It's difficult to even be a .500 team with that strategy

Team will go as far as Tillman and Gausman take them.

Spring stats don't matter. But the line for Orioles' projected rotation is hard to fathom: 44.2 IP, 73 H, 55 ER, 24 BB, 28 K, 14 HR.

I wonder what the worst ERA in spring training history is. This has got to be up there right?

I still don't know why the Orioles waited until late February to sign a SP. I wish the Orioles signed Jordan Zimmermann to a $23 million/year contract instead of Davis. Having Zimmermann in the rotation instead of Gonzo or Worley would add more wins to this team. They could also have signed Latos or Fister to a one-year contract. The Orioles starting rotation was the biggest weakness on this team last year. They lost their best SP in free agency. So why didn't they sign two starting pitchers? It just doesn't make sense.
It's simple. PA's rules. No SP gets an AAV of 20M. No SP gets 5 years. No opt outs. That left Gallardo, Fister, Latos, and Kazmir.

The glimmer of optimism, I'll take it!:)

    • I'm curious to see if it is immediate IL or downshifting to Irvin's swingman role is possible. He has been preventing runs early in games, and if it is just stamina he might still be a puzzle piece in the upcoming stretch. Obviously possible something acute happened on one of the pitches yesterday, if so that might make him a 2025-2026 two year kind of guy like Mahle or Woodruff from this past offseason if somebody really likes him.
    • Tampa also rolled the dice on him one offseason with leaving him off the 40-man roster when his name was prominent as a top Rule 5 candidate. Nobody did the Anthony Santander thing out of A-ball with a catcher. He was a high school bat who commanded a $1.6M bonus, and some of why high school catchers maybe have 2nd place to high school pitchers as a risky demographic is they take so long to develop. The Mariners have Cal Raleigh now and Harry Ford later.    It makes "who will the backup catcher be in 2025" less of a mystery starting out the offseason.
    • Sure, he’s by no means somebody that the Orioles should be overly resistant to part with if he’s a necessary piece in a deadline deal. But he’s not superfluous in the system so he’s not somebody I would expect they look to offer up as trade bait. I think the Orioles will try to deal from their strength in infield, corner OF and C, and avoid trying to deal any pitchers or CF. But if the team they’re trading with is demanding pitching or CF in return, Fabian and others the Orioles would probably prefer to hang onto will be on the table. Like when the Orioles traded Zach Showalter in the Flaherty deal last year, likely because the Cardinals were demanding pitching. 
    • Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.
    • It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now. 
    • Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.  
    • Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.
