ODay was used up?  Wilson was used up? Nuno was used up? Hart was used up?  Is it too much to ask Givens to pitch more than 1 inning in a 5 day span?

If Miley keeps walking 7 per game his ERA will eventually be higher than 0.00.  But the bullpen needs to do its job and preserve a three run lead over four innings.

This loss is not on Miley, and yes, Bundy's start was much better.

The bullpen laid an egg today.  I'm not worried about it because they will be stout.

His walks are why we will lose. He was given a weak lineup he just needed to throw strikes to and he failed. The bullpen was used up, he let the team down. This loss is on Miley and the atrocious offense. 

 

Bundy, obviously. 

No Gausman and Jimenez let the team down. Atleast Miley got through 5 IP.

Brilliant reasoning. Miley hands off a shut out to the bullpen where only one guy had thrown the day before (Givens), but it's somehow his fault for the loss.

Brach and Britton were unavailable because of the previous SP. Miley went 5.0. He didn't deserve a win. 

The starting pitching in Baltimore, Norfolk and Bowie has been pretty bad so far.

You have a telephone call from outer space.  I don't know who it is, but it's way way out there.  Im sure you will recognize it. ;)

The starting pitching has been terrible. Hope that phone call is from Frederick and they are telling us that Sedlock can be up here in 2 months. Because if not we are going to run our pen into the ground.

I was saying in the game thread that I hope we see Sedlock up here in August. Of course he has to pitch his way up there, though.

      Elias on contract extensions

      Only ones I’d look to extend now are Gunnar, and maybe Holliday or Basallo. Premium defensive positions and young enough to not worry about going past their primes. Westburg would need to be a team friendly deal as he’s older and I wonder if we’re getting his best years now.

      I've never played in a beer league software league.  Is it drunk programming?  Sounds fun. Don't a lot of beer leagues limit the amount of Homeruns you can hit? With the way pitching and defense is currently don't all team struggle to score when they don't hit HR?  Seven players hit .300.  It's pretty hard to string together three hits in an inning with what pitching looks like these days.

      Gunnar is the only one you worry about. I would still sign Holliday as well but I think Gunnar is the bigger fish to fry. I no longer would consider an extension for Adley. I would wait on anyone else.

      Something that doesn't show up on the stat sheet is something like being able to hit behind the runner to advance him.   The O's have been successful in building an analytics offense.   Focus on hitting homeruns, develop a swing to achieve optimum launch angle and exit velocity to hit the ball over the fence.  Result is they have a team of beer league software players and not baseball players and struggle to score when not hitting homeruns.   Analytically, if you review their offensive rankings for the season, it says, nothing wrong with the offense, at least from a macro review, but we all know that this offense has issues.   Runs - 4th Home runs - 3rd AVG - 7th OBP - 11th SLG - 3rd OPS - 4th  K's - 18th (this was interesting to see considering how much they seem to strikeout) All of the above looks good, nothing to fix. The O's had 6 sacrifice hits for the season, ranking 30th.  Interestingly, Arizona who led the league in runs scored also led the league in sacrifice hits with 34.   The O's do not need to necessarily to focus on small ball, but they do need to be able to add that skillset to their offensive arsenal.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By waroriole · Posted

      Sounds like Buck. Anything to get a slight advantage. It’s something this team sorely misses.

      Detroit has been so much fun to watch. They have Skubal and literally 11 completely interchangeable pitchers who Hinch uses at any time and in any situation. They all can start games, throw in middle relief, and close. Every Tigers pitcher has to be ready to come in at any time because nobody other than Skubal actually has a defined role, which can certainly help keep them focused.  That guy Holton who started Game 1 in Cleveland closed Game 3 yesterday.  Of course he did! And Hinch seems to have complete faith in everybody, which I guess works since they all seem to have rubber arms and never get tired. It must be so annoying as an opposing manager to try and game plan against them or to be a hitter and have absolutely no idea who you are going to be facing until you actually walk up to the plate.  Not sure how long this "gimmick" will last, but it has been really enjoyable.

      So if Westburg ends up being a very good but not MVP level player you aren't interesting in extending him at a team friendly rate? I disagree with your strategy. If you can lock up even a young 3 win player at a team friendly rate I say do it.
