Did we go with a six-man rotation down the stretch in 2012 after we acquired Saunders? It sounds vaguely familiar.

It could help with the lack of off days. Ubaldo hurts our flexibility. We just need to patch this thing together for August. Come September we'll have a lot more roster flexibility and can start yanking starters before they get into trouble.

That's sort of what we did with Saunders and Steve Johnson in 2012.

That was a quick medical.

Tillman

Bundy

Gausman

Miley

Gallardo

That's a little better and we gave up nothing. Jimenenz is a real waste.

I could see us start to go to Wilson and Worley sooner in games if the SP's struggle. Oddly enough I could see Ubaldo spot starting. I think all of August will be moving guys around for favorable matchups. Match Miley up with the LH heavy lineups.

I think this should help...frees up Worley or Bundy to go back to the bullpen.

The question I have is why would we want Worley or Bundy back in the pen? Bundy is our #2 starter and I say that knowing he's had what 2 major league starts?

I've never understood why Worley was skipped recently and why he hasn't gotten a better shot. Worley Has a 2.89 ERA.

Trivia question, name the 4 Orioles with an ERA under 3.00. Britton, Brach, Oday and Worley.

Does Buck not think Worley is strong enough to start?

If we have Worley ready for every game Bundy starts and tell Bundy he's not going more than 5, then I'm fine with it.

But I don't get why no wants Worley or Bundy starting? I feel like they've certainly been better than Gausman, Gallardo of late.

I don't have a good answer for Worley, but everyone here wants Bundy to be starting. The issue is his arm and his innings, not his ability.

I'd still like to see a source on this. I've been searching through old articles and haven't found anything yet. Could very well be true, but some of that seems to be rooted in Angelos' (earned) reputation as a meddler.
"his week in Orioles baseball began with the revelation that owner Peter Angelos has become personally involved in the club's attempt to sign free-agent slugger Chris Davis to a rich, long-term contract" http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/bs-sp-schmuck-column-1125-20151124-column.html

no one can be upset. Im not a huge Miley fan but we gave nothing. Pitched 7 innings, 1 er, 9 ks yesterday against CHC...i think tilly, gaus, and bundy if he could go longer in game are only startets who have a chance at thst now.

    • I agree that Irvin is not in our "big 3", but if he continues to pitch well, it would be great to have a lefty starter in OPACY for the playoffs.   I don't think we should be heading into the postseason counting on Kimbrel for the 9th inning.  The rest of this roster is good enough to win a championship; they need a top tier closer.  
    • In terms of team needs hard throwing bullpen arm ranks first for me over starting pitcher even with Means injury. It's very possible Elias trades for a couple pitchers at the trade deadline with one of them being a starter. A reliever that can throw upper 90's will go a long way in the second half and playoffs.
    • Right. If Bradfield gets the ball into the gaps it’s almost an automatic double with his speed. 
    • I’m kind of confused with the “coming to earth a bit” idea/notion/words. He has had 2 bad outings ALL SEASON. And all of his numbers are still SUPERIOR in every way to any reliever on our roster.  The talent difference between what he can do and what our best two guys combined can do is very wide! Again, he has had two bad outings. One recently against the Rays and the other about 4/5 appearances ago against the Rockies. He is literally the very best reliever that we could acquire.
    • I’m not really worried about his performance, I’m worried about his injury history And the probability that it would interfere with him and the rest of the season. However, He is coming down to earth a bit; it’s not just his last outing, but his last few outings, I think. Still love to have him, but the price I would be willing to pay has decreased a little bit.
    • Well that explains how we keep ending up with bad relievers off the trash heap.
    • Mateo has an open stance at the plate and also stands back from the plate. Hence, he is very susceptible to the  slider or sweeper off the plate. I was expecting a strike out last night with runners on first and third. In fact, he had two swings and misses at outside breaking pitches during that at bat. But, the pitcher threw one that was in the wrong place and Mateo ripped it. He is doing a good job of staying on those pitches he can handle. And, as stated above, not quite as prone to wave at outside breaking stuff. He is fun to watch.
