3.76 (1.27/.242)

126K / 58BB, 18HR

QS: 13

</b>

Tillman hasn't pitched since August 20th against the Astros, so some rust may be present for this start and all we can hope for is that it doesn't flare up again. He threw seven scoreless against the Tigers back in May. Tillman has never lost against Detroit at 5-0 in eight starts.

Justin Verlander

(14-7)

3.28 (1.01/.209)

209K / 47BB, 26HR

QS: 20

Since July 2nd, Verlander has made 13 starts and 12 of them have been sub-4/6+ starts and the other one missed qualifying by one out. Verlander had a 1.69 in July, a 2.43 in August and allowed two runs in seven innings against Chicago in his only September start and struck out 11. The veteran is pitching like he is capable of and what made him one of the best pitchers in baseball for so long. He had a rough April (5.46) and June (4.73), but has been hot since then. He has allowed four homers over the last three starts and nine homers since August 5th, so there's that. Verlander allowed one run on four hits and two walks in eight innings against the Orioles back in May. He struck out eight.

Drew Stubbs 3/8

Nolan Reimold 2/7, RBI

With Daniel Norris having not pitched since the 4th, it is completely puzzling why Ausmus would start Zimmermann when he was in the condition we saw him in during this game. Even more puzzling is the fact that Zimmermann refused another rehab assignment and was actually allowed to do that AND make the start in such an important game. This game was lost before it began for Detroit and Ubaldo Jimenez held it together to turn in the uncharacteristically solid performance against this team in a big game. Granted, it was a blowout, but the Tigers put the pressure on several times and couldn't get the big hit. Even worse for them is they had to ask for eight innings out of their bullpen. If I was a Tigers fan, I imagine I'd be pretty upset with all of this. This loss is all on Ausmus. Zimmermann should have never been out there. To add more context to this, Norris made three career appearances against the Orioles. In 9.1 innings, Norris allowed two runs on six hits and three walks.

I think Verlander gets the edge here on paper both because he has been very good for much longer and couldn't be hotter right now. Of course, the big one is that Tillman hasn't pitched in three weeks. Verlander is as good as it gets for a couple months now, so we'll see.

Houston, New York, Toronto and Seattle all won today to keep pace with the Orioles. The KC game is still going on, but they are up by two runs in the ninth.

It's getting down to crunch time for the 2016 Orioles.

Not only are they in the midst of a season-defining six-game stretch in the postseason chase, but they're also closing in on the franchise record for home runs in a season. With 22 games remaining, the Orioles have already tallied the second-most homers in club history (220). They need 38 more to break the team record of 257, set by the 1996 Birds.

      Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, Urias can play 2B. Leave Westburg at 3B like they did with Gunnar at SS and let Mateo and Urias split 2B duties for now.

      Updated SABR Defensive Index rankings

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I have attached a link to the latest SABR Defensive Index (SDI) player rankings, updated yesterday for games through June 7. (Although I'm pretty sure I've posted one or more of these in the past, I couldn't find a previous thread on SDIs. It doesn't quite fit under Gold Glove awards or discussions. But then again, I often can't kind my phone, my keys and/or my wallet, so there may be an extant thread that is eluding me.) https://sabr.org/sdi The SDI is a compliation of defensive statatics: "A composite measure of fielding based on five fielding metrics and computed by a committee working under the auspices of the Society for American Baseball Research. Four of the metrics comprising it are zone rating statistic; Chris Dial's Runs Effectively Defended, John Dewan's Defensive Runs Saved, Sean Smith's Total Zone Rating, and Mitchel Lichtman's Ultimate Zone Rating. The fifth metric, Michael Humphrey's Defensive Regression Analysis, is based on conventional fielding indices but uses statistical procedures to rid them of bias. The Index constitutes 25 percent of the method used to determine Gold Glove Award winners."  I belive zero is supposed to be league average. The Oriole highlight of the update is that Gunnar Henderson is first among MLB shortstops, is tied for fourth among all AL fielders (Texas' Marcus Semien is way ahead of the rest of the field), and is tied for seventh among all MLB fielders.  Here arevthe rankings for the Orioles among qualifying AL fielders, with comparisons to qualifiers on the team we're chasing right now. Some of the rankings seem quite odd to me, but in a rare moment of conciseness I'm refraining from comment. Pitcher -  Burnes is 21st, with a negative SDI. Three NY starters (Cortes, Stroman and Gil) are ranked higher than that.  Catcher - Rutschman is eighth. The NYYs' Jose Trevino and Austin Wells are third and tied for ninth. 1B - Mountcastle is fourth (highest among AL East 1Bmen). The NYYs' Anthony Rizzo is sixth. 2B - No Oriole qualifier. The NYYs' Gleyber Torres is seventh of nine qualifiers, with a negative SDI. SS - Training Gunnar in spots 2-4 are Volpe, then Seager and Witt in a tie. 3B - Westburg is fifth, one spot behind the NYYs' Oswaldo Cabrera.  LF - Cowser is third, well behind Verdugo in first. CF - Mullins is tenth (with a negative SDI). Judge is tied for fourth. RF - Santana is tenth (with a negative SDI). Soto is tied for second.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I understand, but Crochet is going to run into an innings limit later this season.  He would then have to go to the pen this season.   We do need help, no doubt about it.  It will be very interesting to see how Elias handles who he targets and what he's willing to deal away.

      That is true, and a lot of the “badness” has been Westy him himself. I think he’s a very fine player, and I don’t want to sound disparaging, but I would much prefer that he be at third all the time.
