The problem is that both Miley and Tillman are below replacement-level starters, but the O's don't have any replacement-level starters available in the minors.  Mike Wright is the most plausible replacement but he's still on the DL.  I guess Jayson Aquino would be the next-best qualified option.  

I don't understand why Duquette didn't make more of an effort to get Doug Fister,  The O's have been in this quandary for several weeks.  Perhaps not signing Fister is a sign that Duquette has given up on the season, regardless of what he says about the O's being buyers at the deadline--I guess we'll see in the next few weeks.

I'd just like to say Fister has had two starts, gone 11 innings and has a WHIP of 1.545.  And that is with a K rate of 9.0.

Please just get rid of this guy.  I'd rather Alec Asher start than him!  Or even Ubaldo!

I can't stand that this waste of roster space was traded for!!!

If it makes you feel better think of it as Miley for Gallardo and Miranda for Smith.

The Orioles will have to make a decision on Wade Miley in the next few weeks, and the left-hander's performance against the Blue Jays June 28 didn't make things any easier.

Keep trotting him out there just like the other pitching dumpster fires.

They don't have any other real choices unless DD trades for another dumpster fire pitcher.

Bad time to point out the outstanding year the Miranda is having for Seattle? League is only hitting .214 against him in 99 innings.

It's a great time to point it out.   You've mentioned several times in the past that Miranda was outperforming Miley, and I said it was too soon to judge and I'd wait until more data was in.    At this point, the verdict is in, so far as I'm concerned.    This team would be infinitely better off with Miranda.    I can't believe how poor this organization seems to be at evaluating its own minor leaguers.

That's a lot better!

Yeah, infinitely is a lot.   But it's not just the ERA, it's the innings Miranda is giving his team, far in excess of any of our starters other than Bundy.

It is kinda sad that someone with a 5.13 FIP can be seen as a huge upgrade.  I'm not at all sure that Miranda is actually good.

As you know, I do look at FIP but I don't wholeheartedly buy into it, either.    For me it's a yellow flag, not a red one.

I don't think you can have long term success in this league with a K rate in the 6's and a walk rate in the 3's.

But for this year?  He'd be an improvement.

For every "ridiculous" trade I can tell you about some good or great pick ups Duquette has had....it evens out..

We have needed an upgrade to our rotation since Dan got here, and what has he done to address this issue?

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
