Talking about his improved second half. Says it was mechanical (he and McDowell made tweaks) and mental. Also, moved on rubber closer to 1B. Says that helped the most throwing down and away to RHB.

Isn't that something that KLaw mentioned a few years ago?

BTW, he's a Sunflower Bean fan so he isn't all bad.

As I try to conjure up scenarios where we contend in 2018, it’s an absolute must that Gausman pitches well from beginning to end, instead of showing us flashes for half the season.   I’m praying that this is the year.    Hopefully, some continuity with the pitching coach will help, as well as not pitching to Castillo (Gausman had a 7.53 ERA pitching to Beef, 2.62 pitching to Caleb).

Won't help.  He isn't a winner.  Teammates won't score runs for him.  He'd win the Cy Young at 13-12.

Even if they’re awful I hope he takes the all important step/s forward.

Yes, me too.   And I’d be locking him up this winter, if I ran the show.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By 24fps · Posted

      Adley needs to turn his trend line around to justify roughly 20% of core payroll.  2025 will be an important season for him IMO.

      Thx for laying this out. I would also add that if think about budget in terms over multiple years (any +/- carried over), there definitely is ample room or excess in 2026 as it currently stands with nearly $70M likely dropping off (estimates per roster resource) $18M Eflin $8.5M Sanchez $8M Seranthony $8M OHearn $5.6M Soto $8.7M Mullins $3.2M Mateo $2.5M no buyouts of Kimbrel + Jimenez  $5.7M Mounty (likely to be moved by 2026) $3.2M Urias (likely to be moved by 2026) A lot of those $$$ could be backfilled with pre-arb internal guys, leaving ample room to supplement and/or carry over to more than offset future years climbing arb increases.

      last i checked, it was one plus a throw in. When they become throw ins, because the GM owes the former prospect playing time, they are no longer solid.

      Elias unwilling to spend money despite Rubenstein giving him the green light?

      Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.

      Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.

      I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season.

      Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.
