Ynoa starts Saturday, Ubaldo on Monday.  I assume Bundy gets 7 days rest. Tillman to pen, flexor issue.  Having issues linking off Twitter.  

Tillman has always had trouble with Twitter. I hope Mills can straighten that out for him in a bullpen session. Not sure of the WiFi out there, though. 

 

But seriously, thanks fo the update, Eddie.

It looks like the O's are throwing the season.  I don't know how you can start Ynoa with a 5.25 ERA against the Indians and they will get killed with Ubaldo.  I guess it is good to check to see what we have for 2018 to know what to do in the off season.

I see this as not giving up hope on the season, at some point you have to try something new cause the old starter wasn't getting the job done. Maybe Ynoa can keep them to 3-4 runs instead of giving up 7-8 runs and that gives us a chance. I'm all for it.

Tillman can't start. I assume they remember Ubaldo being good in Toronto before.  No good options.

The O's are up against it. Ynoa is fine by me. The season is over. There is no WC game for the O's. So start Ynoa on Saturday. IMO

Ynoa  had a  good 2nd half.   5-1, 2.87 ERA, 9 starts, .240 avg against, 1.05 WHIP.   

He is probably a candidate for the rotation next spring.

He probably gives the O's a better chance to win right now then Tillman, Ubaldo or Hellickson.

He just pitched 2 scoreless innings vs the Yankees on the 4th.

I'd like to see Ynoa.    I'm glad he's starting.

Yeah and starting Tillman was "going for it"

    • 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.
    • 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.
