If Shelby Miller wasn't in AAA, I would argue that he would be the worse, with a 2-9 record.

Not sure, you can call somebody with a 5-9 record, the worst.

Yes, I know, you have extreme dislike for Ubaldo, I get it.

It sure seems like more of a hatred for Jimenez. I cheer for underdogs and he is

an underdog big time. There is not one Orioles player that I will hate on. I can't be

a fan of the O's and hate one of the players on the team. That just the way I am.

Others believe differently. And that's fine.

WHY? That's the question I have

I'm assuming they're trying to showcase him for a potential trade. That still doesn't make much sense though. What team would trade for Ubaldo based on one good outing against the worst team in the American League?

So what the O's are saying here....is that no matter how awful you are....you will always be given chances unless you're in the last year of your contract.

Buck is a total clown and clueless, I get it.

Roch had this tidbit:

Jimenez is 18-13 with a 4.39 ERA in 39 career starts on six or more days’ rest, and opponents are batting .234, the lowest average against him.

There's no possible way that Ubaldo has a bad night tonight. That's just not how baseball works.

We are -105 for this game so we're slight favorites.

I say Ubaldo will be in the 6th inning with 2ER given up, but will Buck pull him at the right time? Worley and Despaigne should both be available to go mulitple innings. I hope Buck pulls him and doesn't let this game get out of hand.

I think a potential trade partner wants to see him throw. Maybe they are worried he is hiding an injury or something similar.

    • If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.
    • One game at a time. Let’s go O’s 👍🏻
    • You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.  
    • The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.
    • Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.
    • Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.
    • Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
