O's looking at Wade Miley (Acquired for Ariel Miranda)

[InsideCoroner]

This is the Miley I was hoping for. Go at least 5, pitch around trouble, keep the hitters off-balance. He isn't ever going to look great, but he doesn't need to be. Just OK.

I really don't like that he's on the hook for $9 mil next year.

I don't love the cost, but to be honest I prefer that than if he were just a rental. At least it's one more arm to throw into the mix for the rotation in '17. If they don't want to keep him, they might be able to offload him to another team since the free agent pitching crop this off-season is extremely thin.

The Miley contract in and of itself isn't that bad, it is when you add it to Ubaldo and Gallardo that it becomes an issue.

I guess... $9 mil isn't that cost prohibitive in this market. If he does well enough to trade though, the Orioles will just keep him around.

$23.5 mil invested in Jimenez, Gallardo and Miley for next season. Uy. Thankfully they'll all come off the books after that (if the team does not exercise team options for Gallardo and Miley).

It's very bad no matter how you dress it up. Btw, his ERA was dressed up nicely by Givens last night.

Half a qualifying offer for an MLB lefty that is not injured. Not really an issue.

Or by Davis not being charged with an error on the play he left on. you could look at it either way, Or Schoop being charged with an error for even throwing to third. Or an umpire screening Davis after his error.

I think the issue is that this team now has Ubaldo, Gallardo and Miley all on the same roster essentially with starting rotation spots locked up.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Seven innings, three runs. Can't ask for much better than that.

[LookitsPuck]

Solid start. Unfortunately the offense has gone away.

Idk...I only saw the last two innings, but I saw a lot of hard hit balls that found gloves. Maybe it hasn't been that way all game, but I wouldn't say the offense has completely gone away.

[Spy Fox]

A bit umpire assisted in the early innings (the ump has been helping Estrada a good bit as well) but a good start in his biggest O's game yet. Against one of the best lineups he'll face. If his September performance is closer to this than to his first few starts that will help a lot.

[O's84]

Frustrating game to watch. Estrada was mediorce and we were shut down. Yes we got a little unlucky those last 2 innings but even so we got some good pitches to hit early and didn't take advantage.
