I agree, Frobby. He has this cocky persona, which is really hard to take from a guy that is one of the worst in his profession.

I really want to see him embarrassed with a DFA before the September roster expansions.

Miley on the difference between April and May, and rest of the months this season: “Like I said a couple starts ago, April and May really weren’t that good. It was more of a luck-based kind of deal. I was walking five, six, seven guys a game, and I was just kind of able to make a pitch here and there to get out of those jams. Deep down, I knew that luck was going to run out eventually, and it did, and I haven’t been able to put a stop to it.”

This is the guy you think has a "cocky persona"? Reporters even gave him an opening to boast about his April and May numbers, and he didn't do it.

Meanwhile, you "Want to see him embarrassed" because he isn't pitching well for your team. Stay classy. Maybe you could learn something from Miley.

Paul, I could have sworn that I saw a smile creep across Miley's face in one of his starts a couple of months ago when he got the final out of an inning without giving up any runs.

He seems cocky to me.

Pretty honest appraisal.    We all knew his early ERA didn't match his WHIP and was flukish, but I still didn't expect him to utterly implode like he has.    His last outing actually was one of his better ones in the recent period, basically one bad inning.    He pulled himself together after that, so maybe he can carry it over, though I'm not holding my breath.

He gave up 5 runs.  That is a poor outing.

I didn't say it was good.   I said it was one of his better ones of his recent outings.     

- Only allowed 8 baserunners in 6 IP, the fewest baserunners he's allowed since June 12 (when he only lasted 2.1 innings).

- Only allowed 5 hits in 6 IP, fewest he's allowed since June 1; unfortunately, all five came in the same inning.    Four hitless and scoreless innings after that.   

- Managed to make it through 6 IP for the first time since June 1.

I realize that in the end, 5 ER is 5 ER.     But at least there were a few positives that Miley can carry into his next start, since apparently there's going to be one.

He shouldn't get a next start with the O's.

Re that inning for Miley, how does a veteran throw fat pitch after fat pitch after fat pitch like he did?  Middle school players could have smacked those pitches - all right over the heart of the plate with nothing on them.  I just don't get how a capable veteran big league pitcher does that.

High era Ubaldo vs Miranda who is 1-2 with a 6.32era his last 9 starts. O's have lost Ubaldo's last 3 starts in which he has posted a 8.59era.

I was hoping to see Bundy when I went on stubhub over the weekend but am prepared for a slugfest at the yard. Mid 70's day game; every time I've watched Ubaldo pitch in person throughout his 4 years as a O' it's something like 7 runs in 3 and two thirds.

Like Joe Angel said, Ubaldo is the cat with beyond 9 lives of pitching. He gets unlimited amount of chances that is unlike any other.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
