Came in today with two outs and one on in the bottom of the 8th protecting a one-run lead and coughed up a game losing 2 run homer.    

Today was a good example of managing for the future as opposed to for today.    If we’d been in the race, I’d expect Buck to bring in Britton there.    But in a lost season, you may as well put Scott to the test, though he failed it.

Maybe, maybe not. Buck is so strict with his one inning, 3-out, gotta have the lead on the road use of his closer.

Tanner Scott isn’t any good. Another failed prospect. Worse than replacement level.

I’ve been a Scott skeptic all along, and still am.    But he’s a rookie so I won’t write him off completely.

I’ll tell you what else isn’t any good, Buck’s management of the pen. I’ve always thought it was a bit overstated by others, but what is his insistence on using guys that used to be good (Brach) in the same role? 

I had to check to make sure Britton hadn’t been traded. Maybe he’s trying NOT to use him to prevent a bad outing. Or, he doesn’t like using him in close games at Toronto.

God forbid he’d use him in back to back games after the heavy workload he’s had this past week.

Oh, wait....

He would have used him if you get to the ninth.  He pitched yesterday you are not using a closer on the trading block to get a 4 out save after pitching the day before in a meaningless game.   That would be an asinine decision.

Way to good of stuff no give up an a guy that has his arm.  He gets ahead it is light out get brhind has to learn can’t groove it at this level.  His k rate alone gives u lot hope but has to control the long ball when he gets behind.

Yeah, four outs after not pitching most of the week is unforgivable! As I said, he’s had 1 IP over the last week.

Doesn’t matter because winning this games mean absolutely nothing you don’t take chance extending a closer to get an unimportant out on the 8th inning when you looking to deal him.

He’s had a minimal workload (13 pitches yesterday). Bringing him in with two outs in the 8th also shows other teams he can go more than one inning and be effective. The way he’s pitched lately, I’ll take my chances he’s getting it done. Then, they’re in even a stronger negotiating position.

Who wanted him brought up, DD or BS? I suspect DD and maybe BS is putting him in situations more likely to fail. It would seem BS has lost the power struggle with DD so why not build a case that he lost because of the players DD gave him. Just a thought, i suspect BS is capable of being spiteful.

This was less about protecting Britton than about exposing Scott to some high leverage, high pressure situations IMO.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
