Mark Trumbo is in tonight's lineup and playing right-field, in spite of the fact that he left yesterday's game after fouling a ball off of his left calf.

Today is a day I wish we could play games on paper and give our guys (and our fans) a day off. 

Paper final score: 11-2 Brewers. Aquino lasts 2 innings, gives up 8 runs. Schoop goes yard in the 7th on Garza's 104th pitch to give the Orioles their first run. Castillo hits a bomb in the 9th with 1 out against their mop-up guy who's a really bad pitcher. The Brewers hit a grand slam and two other multi-run home runs, two out of three of the homers against Aquino.

The actual game will probably be very, very similar to this, but I don't want folks to get their hopes up if we lead 1-0 after the end of the second inning, because there's no way we win this game. None.

But who doesn't want to watch a hobbled Trumbo play the outfield?  Maybe he'll have to get close to that scary outfield wall?

Congratulations to CHRIS FROM BALTIMORE. He called this game as the "Reverse Lock Game of the Year."  He said this before last night's game. 

"Since this Chris Waters kid has the proverbial meat-grinder to go through with the Angels and their killer line-up, I'll make the reverse-lock call and say the Orioles win tonight, defying the laws of physics, gravity, and probability ...... So there."


CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS !!!

Be funny if they did. Wonder what crow taste like.

That's on Buck. There are others that could play RF I would think anyway.

I'm actually looking forward to tonight's game. No I don't have high expectations for Aquino, but at least he's someone different that I can watch.  Can't be any worse than some of the others and his one start was very good.

Could not agree more. If his pitch count is below 25 in the first inning he already better than our staff.

I think that would be Oliver Drake...or maybe Josh Hader...I am not sure which.

He looked good in that April start against the Red Sox....seems like a different age.

      Its always easier in hindsight, but letting Kyle Gibson go, could end up being a glaring error.

      I know for a fact he wanted to stay...12-13 million would have been a good 1. year protection plan..He was really respected and loved by his teammates...

      AAA Catcher Comps - Hunt vs. Handley

      By CHIP · Posted

      Handley has been on IL since 6/8/24.  As of this morning, no idea if he will be returning to action after 1 week or if it is going to be time.  Only time will tell...  But the O's decided to give Banuelos a break from the taxi squad yesterday.  Am I reading into something?  Sure, but isn't that what we do here? However...  this week off of Handley vs. Hunt has given my son and I some more time to look at Hunt's 2024 history.  (I still think this is a SSS (small sample size) but since some on this board rejoice over 1 week of good performance  I'm going the other direction... bad performance.) As a precursor, I'm starting to think the O's fans need to brace for "something is better than nothing" when it comes to Hunt.  But what exactly is the "something" as it comes to Hunt for Baumann/Perez trade.  I believe it is also looking that we got "April Fooled" even acknowledging the SSS. Hunt's April stats with Tacoma (SEA): 12 games, 42 PA, 37 AB, 14 H, 2-2B, 1-3B, 2-HR, 2 HBP, 3 BB and only 4 K.   .378/.452/.649 for a 1.101 OPS   These stats would have OH screaming for Hunt over McCann.  This seems to have been the opinion when the trade first happened with Mariner fans as they were wanting hunt moved up to SEA. Since then...  well...  April shower's bring May flowers and maybe we got a carnation. 11 more games with Tacoma before the trade.  38 PA, 33 AB, 7H, 2-2B, 2 HR, 2 HBP, 2 BB, 4K.     .212/.308/.455 for a 0.763 now... the O's would have seen this as well... but the average over his 24 games before coming to the Tide wasn't bad.  .293/.372/.533 with .905 OPS.  This was still attention getting for sure.  But would the O's and OH posters have liked this trade based on just his May numbers? So... let's break down the 24 games with Tacoma vs. 12 games with Norfolk using some of Fangraphs stats/metrics: The 'highlight' and literally this is the ONLY highlight I can find.  (There is a 'candle' light as well) HIGHLIGHT:  In 12 games with Tides, Hunt has 3 HR (1:16 PA).  He only had 4 with Tacoma in 24 games (1:19 PA) CANDLELIGHT:  3 of 15 runners caught (20% for Norfolk) vs. 2 of 18 runners caught (11.1% for Tacoma).  But hey, this is an 80% increase! Here are some of the shadow numbers that 'fans' really don't want to look at because it flies into the face of 'HOPE'  Hunt's AAA wRC+ while with SEA in 2024 was 121.  Hunt's AAAA wRC+ while with BAL is.... 46.    Ooooffff. Hunt's BB & K rate while with SEA were 7.0% and 11.6%.  Hunt's BB/K rate with BAL are 0.0% and 36.7%.  Based on his walk rate... reminds me of a MLB O'S catcher.    Is the IL pitching that much better than the PCL?  Is Hunt trying to hard because of the H vs. H competition?  Hunt's SwStr% has gone from 7.7% to 16.1% between teams. Maybe this is a look into what other GM's saw and why Hunt is on/in his 4th MLB organization and still in MiLB. Last little nugget... like my dog kicking the grass after a piss... Since going to Tacoma from the Trade, Michael Perez has done almost the opposite!  His SwStr% has gone from 11.8% to 6.9%.  wRC+ had gone from 58 to 96.  His walk rate has tripled (5.7 to 17.9). His K rate has nearly halved (31 to 17.9). So... we aren't half way thru the AAA season and there is more time to compare our catchers coming up.  When and how Handley comes back from his IL stint is going to be interesting.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By spleen1015 · Posted

      If Bradish is out for TJ, then I'd trade anyone for the right SP with 2+ years of control. We're going to need to replace Bradish for the rest of this year and some of next. Chances are pretty high that Burnes hits FA. So, we need 2 TOR SP next year. I think a proven SP helps us more than waiting to see what type of MLBer any of the prospects will be.

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      I don’t think so. Gibson is valuable and a great innings eater. But our pitching staff is in very solid shape to get through the regular season, no matter what happens with Bradish. The question is whether they have enough elite arms to maximize their chances in the postseason, which Gibson wouldn’t really help with.

      By Just Regular · Posted

      It also means the SP3 role is a casting call. I believe Dean Kremer and Cole Irvin can do things like Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney did but process wise it isn't what you draw up.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Nothing scientific.  I just looked at the names and saw that more ML players or current top prospects came from those demographics.  By demographics, I mean 4, HS pitchers. HS position players, C position players, C pitchers.  That’s why I said, feel free to correct me.  You can go on BRef and scroll through each draft pretty easily.   I’m not about to get too detailed about it unless you disagree.  Then, I might.

      Here it is. This is from 2021, but he was brought up again in early April when many pitchers started going down for TJ surgery.
