Baumann's got to start next year at Norfolk, right? He only has 54 innings under his belt at Bowie but he's completely dominant in his time at AA. Plus he's not exactly a spring chicken. He'll turn 24 next month. It'll be fun to have a rotation of Wells, Lowther, Zimmerman, Kremer, and Baumann at Norfolk next year.

I would think he starts at Bowie not quite enough innings yet and it will be crowded their.  They probably want a guy that they can bring up early in the season if they have to and i dont think they will want to rush any of those guys up to majors early next season.

But he might be the most MLB ready from the group.

It would be more fun to actually see some of these guys in the majors - including Akin.

Yeah, he's no doubt in that conversation. He has the best fastball, slider combination of any of these pitchers and his ability hold upper level velocity deep into games is giving him a big push up the prospect list!

He was hitting 97 in the 9th when he struck out the side to end the game last night. Apparently he hit 100 too earlier in the game. 

No expert here of course, but the way he is trending, given the obvious lack of quality options being sent out currently to pitch every 5th day, if he performs well in ST 2020, he has to be a candidate to break camp and head north with the ML club, right?

    • It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.
    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
