O'Day was already out for two months this year and the Orioles survived, even with a terrible starting rotation. Their rotation actually looks better now than it did then, so that might help offset the loss of O'Day.

I think we have decent bullpen depth. I am more worried about the playoffs…or the last few critical games before the playoffs. We need someone like Givens to get hot.

that giving a 4 yr / 36 million dollar extension to a 32 yo middle reliever would be a mistake?

Never saw it coming <lol>.

Should start a lottery on what year of his contract the O's will DFA him. I'm guessing early in 2018

O'Day was the most durable and consistent relief pitcher. I don't fault them one bit. Especially with how effective he was.

A negative post from you? Never saw it coming.

He may have compensated an Arm Slot for the Hamstring and caused some tension on other parts. Only a slight change from years of the same delivery causes a different muscle/tendon stretch. Time to look at video and adjust by the Pitching Coaches.

Let's hope that's all it is. Brach has been shaky lately and if we have to put a big load back on him it may not go as smoothly as it did the last time O'Day was out.

I just woke up. Glad to see we won but I see Brach wasn't sharp again, I saw the rbi hit he allowed was a bloop.

I think it is time to turn Mike Wright into a bullpen arm. Maybe at least near the end of this month. I know they want to have as many starting options as possible but he could be a real weapon.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      Are their ways to make your team better in October that don't manifest in April-September?

      If he wasn’t a catcher Rutschman would be one of the few exceptions that I’d extend long term. He’s a winner and a natural leader. Otherwise, unless the player is the one driven for long term security and there’s a financial upside/discount for the team, you have to ride them as far as you can and then let ‘em go.    I think Elias has a really difficult job ahead of him in the next year +. Maintaining the same fire/winning culture this team has established while going through a lot of player turnover is going be a challenge for Hyde too. Sorry…..I veered off-subject

      While I do agree with you to an extent you can certainly make moves that are more targeted towards winning in the playoffs over making the playoffs. They might not work, but you can make the attempt.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Westburg or Cowser (pending a bit more sample size of success) are the first extensions.

      The second question is - what extensions can the Orioles do with guys other than these 4, who are not Boras clients? Don’t want to rehash the “Boras clients don’t extend” debate, but let’s assume whatever they can do with these 4 doesn’t impact the ability to do other extensions.  Grayson: With 5 years of control after this one, it would have to be something like 6 years + a couple option years. Possible, but not super high priority.  Bradish: Entirely TBD on how he returns from injury, and even then a bit of the same question as Grayson with so much control remaining.  Westburg, Cowser and Kjerstad: Lumping them all together because I think it’s similar considerations. At their ages when their years of control expire, I don’t think it really makes sense. All 3 have been phenomenal to start the year but still have significant question marks about their games (really high whiff rates and not great K/BB for Westburg and Cowser, Kjerstad’s defense, chase rate and of course not yet facing MLB yet). Mayo and Basallo: Given their ages they are going to be the best candidates, IMO. However, it’s premature now for obvious reasons, particularly with the major questions about how much defensive value they are going to provide at the MLB level.  Unfortunately I have a hard time seeing any extensions happening in the near future, even if Elias and Rubenstein have all the best intentions of wanting to do them.

      My opinion in principle depends on the duration of the FA contract.  For the Orioles as currently constructed, the roster will be inexpensive over next 3 years with most premium guys either pre-arb or early arb years.  That would make me lean toward FA signing of elite SP this upcoming offseason. Now last winter we saw only Nola receive long duration contract at 7yrs (I’m putting Yamamoto & Ohtani in separate category given the JP marketing angle).  The industry seemed reticent to give $$$ and length to the other premium SPs (Snell, Montgomery) but was this Boras driven?  Would the premium SPs be willing to sign 3-4 yr deals at higher AAVs or instead play out essentially one year deals?  Example — would a guy like Burnes go for 4/175M? the market dynamics will be interesting this upcoming offseason with demand (which big market clubs pursuing — Cubs, LAA, SFG, NYY?) and supply (Burnes, Fried as FAs and Montgomery, Snell, Cole as potential opt outs).  As well as Boras negotiating factor.
