Pena caught yesterday.  Same result. Aquino - 3 innings, 4 earned runs

Aquino was better then that though.   He wasn't great or anything but if you have an actual outfielder in right instead of Pedro Alverez out there he gives up just two runs and may have went a bit deeper in the game.

If Asher struggles badly tonight after struggling this spring with Philadelphia, the other option would be to give Wilson the start than send him back to AAA afterwards and bring up someone like Ynoa to pitch in his long relief role.

Ynoa looked good in ST. Has he looked bad so far? Is he not an option?

He doesn't line up very well to pitch on the 15th. For that reason alone I think the team might be looking at him more in Wilson's role than for this particular start.

I don't think we are talking about making conclusions on whether a pitcher's career will be good or bad.   Instead we are talking about who is pitching well enough to pitch in the majors on April 15th and April 22nd.  The O's have to come to a conclusion on that.  

Ok. Sign Jeremy Guthrie for a day. That's a a conclusion for one start.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      Wow, that was so strange to see.  Eerie.

      What's Your Top Priority

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
