Tillman allowed seven hits, two walks and a HBP while recording just six outs. He needs to be released after this game. No DL, not DFA, just outright release him.

I agree...anything else is just conceding we are not serious about trying to win.

I don't even know why Buck is even wasting Araujo in this game. Just have Wright pitch six innings and save your bullets for another day.

Wright 6 innings? Might take him 200 pitches and 15 runs.

Do you think re-signing Tillman was Duquette's idea?  I don't, I think at best is was a price he agreed to pay in order to sign two decent FA pitchers.

Roch said several times that some in Orioles front office was saying they had all last year to fix Tillman and didn't think they could fix him.   I am the thinking that was DD saying that.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      She’s awful.  I wouldn’t take anything she says to mean anything.

      This Twitter thread is interesting. A lot of things track. I generally think she doesn’t know much but she does seem to know people around the team. She’s also been a Hyde defender.

      I feel like they did it to entice pitchers on short-term deals to come here and now have their stats blow up.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Here was the Wheeler extension from this past spring - he is finishing 2024 under the terms of his original 2020-2024 contract, so these are guarantees Middleton and Dombrowski made blind to whether Wheeler would hit any health bumps in 2024. Wheeler 5.30.1990 is 4 plus years older than Burnes 10.22.1994, but has a ton more October achievement, including 7 shutout innings this afternoon.    30 Swings and Misses!!! 3 years/$126M (2025-27) signed extension with Philadelphia 3/4/24 25:$42M, 26:$42M, 27:$42M

      Elias: It's on me

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It wasn’t Cowser and Ortiz for Burnes..it was Cease.  And at that time, they did have to give that to get him, clearly. I never wanted to lose Urias for nothing. And yea, I wanted to trade some of our vets and play the kids…and put more emphasis on the pitching staff. I wanted Hays gone and wanted Mounty gone.   And it was definitely you but whatever.

      Elias: It's on me

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million
