Roch says 2 pitchers will come off the 25 man, one for Matusz tomorrow and another monday for Gausman.

Matusz did get stretched out to 3 innings his last outing, so in theory, TJ could go.

Interesting to see what Buck and DD will do.

My guess? McFarland and Wilson are optioned although I would consider DFAing Worley.

After last year and all the dead money, I don't see DD cutting lose Worley just yet. We already have Kim and then the money we ate from Gonzo's deal. It'll probably just be a simple lefty for lefty swap. Then unless Wright looks terrible it will be Wilson. As much as I like Wilson I'm rooting for Wright to stay because that means he will have been pitching well.

Mac and Wilson should be stretched out as starters in Norfolk. After watching Mac this year, I have a new found sliver of hope that he could become backend SP.

Why DFA Worley until you have to? Wilson has an option and is better off starting in Norfolk.

I think Wilson has more value to the team right now than Worley does, but I can definitely see the logic in just optioning Wilson.

I think McFarland stays and Givens goes, I agree on Wilson. JMHO Buck loves Mcfarland LH

McFarland is good in the long relief role and I agree that Buck loves him, but with Bundy having no options he's going to have to pick up that role up. This is where keeping Kim on the roster really hurts, especially if Buck has no intention of using him much.

I think Bundy is pitching well enough, that he wouldn't be in consideration for sending down. IMO

Wilson has a future here as a SP, but he needs to be stretched out. Worley has a limited future as a long man spot starter.

Regardless of what you think of him as a starter, Worley would be an excellent long reliever. He's very effective the first time through the order. There's no reason to DFA him when we can send Wilson and McFarland down.

Wilson is also a quality long reliever, perhaps as good as Worley, but not likely to be significantly better. I'd rather have him in the minors stretching out as a starter.

Agreed. They never make decisions on the roster until they need to. They'll look at Worley and Wright's starts to make sure they get through with health.

Matusz for McFarland

Gausman for Wilson if everything else goes okay.

Worley to long relief.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.

      Bingo....I have said this before also. Wives of players are not clamoring to come near B-More. Factor in taxes and its a hard sell.
