I mean...if there's one person you don't want to push with an off day tomorrow when he was already laboring too many innings...it's Bundy. Buck has to be smarter than that. Off day tomorrow. Relatively well rested pen. Come on. Just boneheaded adherence to the win rule. This isn't April. It's September.

4th inning, he wasn't getting a win today.

Well near the end of the inning it was clear he couldn't get the win as he was mid 80s on the pitch count (threw 91 ) .

I don't want him yanked from the rotation however . Maybe skipped or just make sure he only pitches with extra rest. When he's on he's a guy I want starting.

Didn't give him anything to hit, who knows.

I was in the girls' carpool early in the game and didn't realize it was Kiermaier who homered early. I thought he meant Forsythe homered.

Gary says that all the time. I just don't know why you pitch around a RH who is 0-2 for a lefty who homered. Talking about Thorne, not you.

Well we figured out how to do small ball - trade for it. Let's steal second here for good measure so Joseph can get that elusive rbi. Sadly I think Joseph will only get an rbi if he figures out a way to hit one over the fence before the season is over .

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.

      I'm talking about the tone.  It's like they are gleeful that Cease is going through a rough patch.

      Mullins is a guy that has very little chance of getting an extension or a large contract from anyone. He makes sense as a 4th outfielder type on a team with a right-handed hitting CF, something the Orioles won't have unless Jud Fabian just completely turns it on.  I have to imagine this will be Mullins last year with the Orioles, which should move Cowser into center opening up left field for Stowers next year.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By interloper · Posted

      Boras says a lot of nothing. He always praises the organizations and says his players like it there because why wouldn't he? He's the type of guy where you can't read into anything he says because it's all BS. He's a politician.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      It's a great question. I really don't think Stowers was as slow as his first spring speeds. He never seemed that slow in the minors so I was surprised by his original times. Now maybe he did do some speed training to help him improve, but I also think he may not have been 100% when he came up the first time.  But since this is Mayo's thread, I'd be very surprised if he's not activated today back to the Norfolk roster.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Verlander was a once in baseball history type of move. He was an August waiver trade. He had actually cleared waivers. Meaning not even one team just put in a general claim to just take on the rest of his deal. Not even an AL rival put in a claim just to block it ala the Padres with Randy Myers back in the day.
