  I’m a big fan of this kid the more I read. He loves the new analytical approach. He strikes people out and Elias has gone on record as saying that he values the strikeout as a main proponent in judging young pitchers. Lastly, he already has built his innings up. One of my biggest complaints is the way the O’s have handled young pitchers with kid gloves. Let ‘em throw!!  I’m pulling for this kid as a 5th starter.

I'm a huge supporter of him and we have him higher than anyone else in the prospects rankings. Saying that, he's not making the jump to the majors for no other reason than there is no reason to start his clock. I see him starting 2019 in AA.

I hope you are right.  And I hope he stays in the minors until 2020.   We may see Akin in July when Cobb is traded though.

I don't think service time games make as much sense for pitchers as they do for position players. I don't think pushing him until June 2020 makes sense if he shows he is ready before then. That said, he has only made 9 starts at AA, he could definitely benefit from more time in the minors. He needs to be added to the 40-man roster at the end of this season, if he has a good season I definitely think he is a candidate for a September call-up and a couple spot starts with a good chance of making the Opening Day 2020 rotation.

This depends on how ST goes.  If they are struggling with the 4th and 5th starter spots and he has a solid spring training I can see them bringing him back to Baltimore with them.  If it doesn't work out don't wait long just send him to Bowie or Norfolk and hopefully bring him back later in the summer.

Having only spent half a season in AA I would imagine he starts the season in Bowie and will eventually move up to Norfolk with his earliest call up to the O’s coming in 2020. 

I think Tate having pitched more than a full season in AA has a much better shot earning the 5th starter job.

He's the one pitcher I am excited about in the organization.  

I think he'll be up in the later half of the year if all goes well.

Hmmm. I understand moving on from Harvey and liking, but not being excited about guys like Akin, but you're not excited about Hall or Rodriguez? Too far away?

I don’t think either has much chance at all.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
