He looked lot better today and better fastball then I saw other appearences this regular season.

Prior to the 2-out, 2-run home run in the 9th inning, Crichton did a reasonably good job of saving the rest of the bullpen in a lost-cause game.

And he was rewarded with a trip to Norfolk.

Good thing we sent him down after Ubaldo and Wilson's performances last night.

Do you really think Dan and Buck are done by just sending Crichton down?

Aquino has also been recalled.  I'm not sure why...but he has.

o

 

Correct.

Getting sent down is not a punishment for a pitcher (especially when he has just pitched well.) It's the reality of the 25-man roster, the context and considerations of players who do and don't have options, and the subsequent shuttle between Baltimore and Norfolk.

Wilson himself pitched a very solid 6-inning game earlier this season, and was immediately sent down to AAA-Norfolk the next day. Getting sent down doesn't necessarily represent Duquette's evaluation of a player, it represents what the Orioles' immediate needs are in relation to the number of fresh arms that they have available for the next 4 or 5 days.

o

 

Although he has not pitched well at the AAA-level, Aquino hasn't pitched since May 18th ...... so he may be used to take one for the team if the Orioles are down by a lot early over the next couple of games, or if they are up by a lot late in the game and Showalter wants to save Brach, O'Day, and Givens for higher leverage situations.

It may be a temporary move (like when Mike Wright was called up one day several weeks ago, and sent back down the very next day without having thrown a pitch), or it may be for having a fresh arm available in the situations that I previously cited.

 

There is a method to Duquette's proverbial madness in regard to the Baltimore-Norfolk shuttle. Sometimes the reasons are immediately obvious, and sometimes they are not.

[LookitsPuck]

Crichton hasn't been good. 5 appearances, scored upon in 4 of them. Way too many baserunners. Not sure why they keep bringing him up.

Aquino is actually mind boggling also. He's been poor aside from 1 start.

Compare that to the Ubaldo Jimenez pitching line and he looks like Cy Young.

He's the one P in AAA that keeps having consistently good outings. Him and Yacabonis is about all there is to feel good about so far.
