Is this it for now for Hess in the rotation?

I think we are doing him a disservice at this point by keeping him in the majors.    He needs to go to AAA and regain his bearings.   

Of course, I don’t like the alternatives for replacing him, either.   Akin would probably be an upgrade but I’d rather keep him developing in AAA for another month or two.

I agree with this.  I'd just let Ynoa or Ramirez eat some starts for a couple of months until Akin gets some more time.

I predict we will see Akin in Baltimore by the end of June. 

Hess and Straily can't last long in the rotation at this pace and I don't think the organization sees Ynoa and Ramirez as starters.  Ramirez had his shot last year and was terrible.

How is more time in the minors going to help?

He can (1) work on stuff without feeling like he’s letting the team down, and (2) perhaps regain some confidence, which has got to be running at about zero right now.

So he wouldn't feel bad if he let his minor league teammates down?

Him, not you.

Ah, thank you grasshopper. 

I really don’t care if there isn’t anything for him to learn in AAA. He’s not a ML pitcher right now. 

They send him down and at a minimum maybe he faces less quality hitters and he gets some confidence back. Keeping him on the ML roster to get bludgeoned each time out serves no purpose.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him

      Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CTBear · Posted

      Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
