First question: Is Angelos backing off (in not so many words).

Andy's response: If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't be here.

Is it true? Is Angelos finally going to give way and let someone who knows what they're doing run the team day to day ops? :eek:

He is focused on the baseball side of things, not the financial side.

Basically, he is going to use Duq and Flanny for info for right now and he will use them to talk to other teams but really, what they want means very little.

He will evaluate the team over the next 5 weeks and determine what needs to be done at the deadline.

I am sure he has a better idea of that than he is leading on.

Different than Chicago job. He is not presiding over business ops here, only baseball.

I'm not sure I caught this fully but I think he just said he is essentially THE GM.

He hasn't talked to Tom Kelly recently but last time he spoke to him he wasn't interested in managing again.

We're not here to get over .500, no team should be for that. The goal should be to get in to the postseason.

The relationship between the field manager and GM is crucial. Duquette and Flanny didn't think so...

Wow, that's what I want to hear!

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.

      Cease vs everyone else

      Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.

      That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.

      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.
