Time to have a short leash and to add relievers.

I would hope with he expansion of the roster the O's would go to a 19 man pitching staff.  This would  allow Buck to have a short leash with pitchiers and hopefully  stop starters from giving up 4-7 runs per game.

Starter: (6) Bundy, Gausman, Miley, Castro, Jimenez and Helliickson

I know moving Castro to the rotation weakens the pen but adding 7 relievers should  off set ttat loss and boost the pen.

Relievers.(13) Britton, Brach, Givens, O'Day, Bleier, Tillman, Yacabonis, Crichton, Hart, Wright, Ynoa,  Wotherspoon, and Faulkner.

The last six to be added soon after the end of the AAA season.

Not every addition is going to succeed but then again not every pitcher on the 12 man staff succeeded.   The ones that pitch the best get more work and the ones that don't move to   the  bottom of the selection list.

The O's will need to DFA Wilson, Verrett and Aquino to make room of the 40 man roster.  They are all out of options next  year.  I would love to add Richard Rodriguez  but that will require another player to be DFAd.

The O's didn't't  add  starting help that was  needed at the end of August but they can add relievers that will allow Buck to implement a short leash for the pitchers rhat get in trouble and allow runs.

3 runs for a starter and their pulled.  One run  for a  reliever.   

That is the approach I hope to see from Buck.

Buck won't add 7 relievers, but 3-4 is likely (and sufficient in my view).    He can always tuck a few in Sarasota in case they're needed.  

Under normal circumstances I would agree.  However, with 3 starters that can't get out of the the 2nd inning without giving up 4 runs, and a bunch of 1 and 2 inning relievers, the O's will need quite a few of them.

Nice, I have been wanting to see Rodriguez. I agree with OP. A mix of these guys for an inning or two at a time can't be worse than what we're getting from Tillman and Ubaldo. Surprised to lose Aquino.

I don't think they have done anything with Aquino yet.

They won't DFA Aquino he is still apart of their plans in future.  Lee will go before he does.

      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.
