He gave up 7. 6 batters into the game, it was 2-0.  There were 2 men on and 2 outs.  That's a bad first inning, sure.  But at that point it's not even bad enough to get a reliever up.  Plenty of

The final two runs could have been avoided by Hyde not bringing in Bleier.

Oh?   .130/.161/.167, 43% K rate.   

That is pretty good for the general population.  Most 50-year-olds sitting behind their work computer typing on the Hangout couldn't hit .130 and might strike out over 50% of the time.

Just once I'd like to see a reality show called "play major league baseball".  You couldn't get actual major leaguers to participate, the teams are way too risk-averse.  But free agents, guys from indy leagues who got six innings with the Brewers in 2015.  That would be good enough.  They'd play games against random pickup teams, church softball teams, celebrities, etc.  The show would only last three episodes because the games would be 88-0.

      Extend Burnes

      By Frobby · Posted

      It really shouldn’t have to be either/or.  Plenty of teams have more than one big contract.    Four of Burnes’ years would be before Gunnar is being paid at FA prices.   However, if you start talking about multiple extensions of young players instead of just Gunnar, then I do think choices have to be made as to whether spending on Burnes would preclude that.

      Norby and Vespi coming up?

      Good clarification.  Thank you. I find it odd though, if the purpose of the 5 options r ule is to keep you from yo-yoing a player up and down too much, that the rules specifically exempts an option from counting if the guy is (yo-yo'd) back up within 20 days

      Haven't read further in the thread to know if it's been noted, but there is a Concussion Protocol List which has a shorter maximum duration than the 10 day IL.   I think it is 5 days?   EDIT:  Having read further in the thread I see it is 7 days. So no doubt the move being made is: Mateo to the CL, with Vespi replacing him on the roster (since Vespi hasn't been down 15 days, he can only come up to replace someone going on an injury list). Norby coming up because we need 13 position players, and a pitcher going.   My guess is Vieira DFA.   It's pretty damn telling that in the post game yesterday Hyde said he had to stick with Tate as long as he did because he didn't have any rested RH relievers in the pen.   Vieira hadn't pitched in 6 days.

      It will be interesting to see how they handle Norby. Norby can play 2B and corner outfield, but he's a below average defender at 2B.  The Orioles history suggest Norby will be a bench guy for now with Urias slotting in at 3B and Westburg at 2B mostly while Mateo is out. Saying that, Norby give the Orioles a good right-handed bat off the bench and a guy who could spell Mullins with Cowser slotting over to CF.  The question is whether Norby will get some Hays PAs?  I'd personally like to just drop him at 2B and keep Westburg at 3B with Urias on the bench, but that would not be how the Orioles typically break in non "impact" rookies.  Either way, this is a well earned major league debut for Norby. Here's to hoping he's given a chance to play a bit.

      I think it’s a fair argument to make about players like Kjerstad. His promotion was questioned at the time as he was raking in AAA and there was not an obvious opportunity to play when promoted. And sure enough he sat on the bench primarily for weeks and was demoted. i think there’s a difference between promoting a player like Kjerstad and promoting a Maton etc. Our top prospects should only be promoted if they are going to get a long leash on playing time a la Holliday (IMO)
