      On MLB just now the host were asking what should Baltimore give up to get Miller from the A's

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Mason Miller and David Forst have said as much in interviews I've seen this spring, but the Red Sox probably said the same stuff about Papelbon back in the day. Sigbot first wants to see if he's healthy after the MLB draft.

      Unswept

      No idea why, but I'm so tired of hearing about this. It doesn't mean jack. Losing the game last night because Kimbrel blew it would have been a tougher pill for me to swallow than this streak ending. I wish it would end because I'm tired of hearing about it. This team is good enough for it to go on a lot longer, too, so that makes it even worse.

      Mayo > Urias?

      He will surprise you. It’s not easy being a role player on a good club. Defense is paramount and Mayo needs to improve his before he gets a chance. Simple as that.

      Is it though? He looks like’s swinging a 50 lb. bat. He’s aging so badly, I don’t think he’ll ever sniff a .700 OPS in his career again.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Again, I don’t know what the problem is but: Kimbrel’s first 9 appearances came in a 20 day span.   On 3 separate occasions he pitched on back to back days.   In those 9 appearances. 9 IP 3 Hits 0 walks 14 strikeouts His velocity was down (93) but he was great.  Did he grow old between April 20 and April 22?   I don’t think so.   I can only speculate like everyone else.  Maybe the back tightness is a lingering issue?   Seems to me he’s overthrowing and loses command when he does.  Why is he overthrowing when he was dominant at 93?    I don’t know. He has looked despondent the last two blown saves when he was taken out so this really seems to be getting to him.   My best guess is that he’s still dealing with something physical that they consider minor but that he’s trying to pitch through and the results say it’s not working.

      Closer by Committee

      The only thing that could help Kimbrel find what he's lost is a time machine. On the bright side - the Kimbrel situation hasn't really hurt the team significantly but there's no doubt Elias will have to take another shot at filling the closer role. He has plenty of trade ammo to work with in the trade market so let's see what he can come up with.

      Urias is an average MLB player. On the free agent market he'd likely get 2/20 or 2/15 or something like that. I think it's unlikely that Elias releases an average MLB player and gets nothing out of the deal. If they're thinking about making a move I have to assume they're trying to find a trade.
