Yea right, like he knew Arrieta was going to pitch as well as he has pitched. He got very lucky that he was able to turn around his career there.

He got lucky when he turned the Red Sox around?

And the Cubs?

Yeah, just luck...rolls eyes.

2007- avg runs scored per team 777

2015-avg runs scored per team 688

Even if you don't like the terminology, at the very least it was a completely different offensive era.

Still doesn't change the fact he hasn't pitched more then 58 innings since 2007. He'll end up with a 4 ERA (maybe a little lower because of being with Oakland).

Jason Hammel

Jake Arrietta

Rich Hill

Jesus, frustrating.

No way you can group Arrieta with Hammel and Hill. Arrieta turning it on after the trade is borderline heartbreaking. Hammel and Hill doing so isn't even water under the bridge. Hill is 36. The best he can probably hope for is half of Jamie Moyer's career success. Hammel? Everyone knows his capacity for hot and cold. Would much rather have Rich Hill than Jason Hammel, though I expect success for either of them won't last much longer than this season. Arrieta is a completely different category. He is to the Cubs what Frank Robinson was to the Orioles, except that Robinson was about 1,000 times better before he joined the O's than Arrieta was before he joined the Cubs.

CHI admits they didn't know what they were getting.

He is on pace to take two doomed franchise that nobody could turn around despite high payrolls and win a championship. That sir, is greatness regardless. Theo is a mad genius. Dude went to Yale for a reason.

He got lucky with Arrieta, that is my point. Sometimes you get lucky.

Man, Your constantly bringing this up gets old. It is done and can not be changed, let it go. Life is too short spending it worrying about the past that can't be changed. The only hope is that the Orioles actually correct whatever development issues they have.

Forgive me if I'm also not lamenting not having Jason Hammel. We got the best out of him that we could have gotten, and his numbers have played out that he's clearly better suited for the NL. He was never the same for us after the injury in 2012, he was awful in 2013, and he wasn't anything great in his brief stint in Oakland in 2014. The guy is simply better suited for the NL.

I was at both games today. The afternoon one featured Rich Hill. One factor about the O's offense I've noticed: they don't do very well against soft-tossing finesse pitchers like Rich Hill. So I was not surprised when their bats flailed uselessly against Hill. They did better when Hill was finally relieved by fast-throwing relievers. However, by that time, the game was out of reach.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Exciting night.     His arm could still explode on his next pitch like anybody, but the scenario feels very Dodgers. The rosiest scenario is Bradish and Grayson spend the rest of their Orioles pitching careers like Glasnow or Yamamoto, or Ohtani starting next year. He was a hand-me-down from Duquette, but he's the one getting to have the career so far that Sigbot envisioned for Brady Aiken or Forrest Whitley.     Watching management manage and the player want to be unshackled figures to be fine entertainment. I guess an arbitrator wouldn't give money for regular season stats you were forecasted to have but didn't have because your talent was being rationed.    I'm fuzzy if postseason stats get to count in arbitration.

      Is there a backpedalling option to DFA where you can pull the guy back and put him back on your 40 man?

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Frobby · Posted

      I agree with your characterization.  See my earlier post before all the expert analysis of Holliday’s weightlifting exploits.  I’m just making a general observation that Cal needs to be more careful now.  This comment doesn’t particularly concern me.

      Orioles Sign Daniel Johnson to mil contract (tea leaves?)

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      That’s fine. I’m just saying, Mullins doesn’t have a track record of being a star at the plate and he did not look as good visually over the first 3 week as the OPS stated.

      By RZNJ · Posted

      But he's expressing his opinion in hindsight and not questioning the actual move to bring him up.   He not saying he wouldn't have brought him up.  He's saying that since he struggled so much MAYBE he needed more AAA time.  Maybe he was affected by the hoopla.   He was questioned on why Holliday struggled.   He gave the same guesses the rest of the world is giving, including Elias.    His answer equates to "I don't really know but it could be this".   It's not even close to "At the time, I thought they called him up too soon".

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      He’s under the ball, and pulling everything.  It’s either strikeouts, pop outs, or grounders to the right side.  I agree it’s very tough to watch.  I still say he he’ll get at least another 4-6 weeks to snap out of it before the O’s make any significant change to his role.

      My hope is that someone will be anxious to have him and will trade us something in order to jump the line.
