New name to watch, sounds intriguing.

Haven't seen one word posted about him here. How come?

Great question. I think the main reason is that he didn't start pitching at Delmarva until May 22, by which time among the relievers we were more focused on included Cleavinger, Meisinger and Turnipseed, who had done well in a considerable number of innings. And he had spent parts of 4 seasons in the Dominican League without doing much until last year, when he was 20 years old, which is very old for that league. So it's not like he came to Delmarva with a lot of fanfare, and he's kind of flown under the radar to his late start. But looking at his numbers this season, he has been very impressive. I'm always glad to hear about a promising prospect who I didn't really know existed suddenly emerging.

Watched him pitch today. Consistent 93-95mph, nasty slider around 88-89. Started off wild to first batter 3-0 then came back for the strike out. No issues the other 1.2 he pitched. Ended up with a 3k, 0bb, 0 hits. Final pitch was a knee buckling slider.

Bridwell looked rough. Double play saved him. Hitters making good contact and he was all over the place. Threw two balls into RF warming up in the pen.

Awesome. Thanks for the scouting report. Rep.

He sounds like Givens a little. Good thing he's working with Alan Mills too, that could be a reason he skipped Frederick. I would not be surprised if when we're all hands on deck in September if we see a guy like him or Scott added to the 40 man and be given a shot. Seems like every year a guy comes out of nowhere for a contender and is lights out down the stretch. Maybe this guy.

Bowie should have an interesting bullpen next year: Liranzo, Meisinger, Scott, Cleavinger, maybe Garcia if he gets converted. Seems like the organization is doing a pretty good job of developing bullpen arms.

Liranzo will be added to the 40-man roster this offseason and if he pitches well in the spring, could get an opportunity to start at AAA next year and possibly be in Baltimore before the All-star break if an opportunity arises.

I really liked Stefan Crichton's stuff. I feel like he could have a future in a MLB bullpen.

What other players will have to be added to the 40 man to be protected from the rule 5? Or will likely be added?

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Provided the O's win tomorrow and even better if the Yankees lose tomorrow, the O's will be within range of the division lead. The players are focused on tomorrow's game, but I figured I would take a look ahead at the series. The good:  O's don't have to face Gil or Rodon.  Gil pitched Friday, but Gil seems to have been given extra rest or Yankees are going to 6 man rotation?  O's offense has been resurgent lately and the coldest bats in May are some of the hottest like Santander and Urias and Hays(maybe?).  Gunnar and Adley continue to dependable cogs of the offense. The bad:  Judge has just been mashing the ball since the O's/Yankees early season meeting.  Soto is healthy after the forearm soreness.  Some guy the Yankees signed as a depth move, Cody Poteet, who had a 19-39 minor league record, now has a ERA barely over 2 in limited action.  Poteet is Tuesday's starter.  Cole had 10 K's in 4 1/3 innings in his last rehab start and is likely Wednesday's starter.  Yankees barely have any injuries. The ugly:  The state of the O's bullpen compared to the teams' first meeting.  Danny Coulombe, maybe our best reliever was a huge loss.  Not having Bradish for Thursday game is huge.  Winning 2 of 3 would be great.  Realistically, I would be happy if the O's don't get swept. Tuesday:   Suarez (3-0, 1.61 ERA)  vs Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA) Wednesday:  Povich (0-1, 4,76 ERA) vs Undecided (Cole?) 0-0 Thursday:  Irvin (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs Cortes (3-5, 3.59 ERA)

      Orioles win; Yankees lose

      This would be a perfect time for the NYY to go on a nice losing streak...

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      1) Jack flaherty had like 5 or 6 good starts in a row before we traded for him. His overall era wasn’t great, but the month or so before he had been pitching much better.    2) whip plays a bit better as a reliever if it’s walks and high k rate when they are less worried about managing pitch count over 5+ innings. It’s not ideal but it plays better out of the pen (see dl hall) 3) Burnes is a top 5 pitcher in baseball, and we got him for a full season. Tanner Scott is nowhere near a top 5 reliever and we’d probably get him for 2 months.    if we got Scott for a package like what we gave up for flaherty or a bit better, I’m fine with it. Norby if we are convinced that is the reliever that gets us over the hump. But I’m not sure Scott is that guy, or that we are one reliever away (especially if bradish is out).

      100% There just aren’t that many foolish GMs like there used to be (Bedard trade etc). Teams have a deep brain trust they covet to prevent getting fleeced like the Chris Archer trade.

      Probably.  I agree.

      I’d be highly surprised if he didn’t. Can’t argue with the results though. Burnes has pitched 33 innings and given up 4 earned runs in last 5 starts. All with McCann catching him.
