vs. WHITE SOX, 4/22

How bad is it that Sucre outperformed the entire pitching staff today?

[LA2]

Is there a known season record for number of pitching appearances by non-pitchers? Or number of different non-pitchers used as pitchers? Seems like something the Finley A's would have held during the early Bert Campaneris days.

Three position players pitched for the Orioles before the end of April.That is a sad commentary. 

That was point all preseason saying we didnt have the guys to cover all the innings that needed to be pitched.  And that Elias wasnt doing his job by not signing guys for a couple million each.

Wow.  I knew there were going to be some difficulties during the early phases of the rebuild, but I never thought it would be like this.  And I have a pretty vivid imagination too...

At this point, I'm ready to send him and Davis out there every 5th day.

Don't bother me.  I have not yet ascended.

That’s really weird.

I can’t remember the ones he could’ve signed and didn’t. I was mistaken in thinking some of the pitchers in the minors were further along in their development.

The team beating us right now has an 8-12 record.

An 8-12 team makes us look impotent offensively AND defensively. Let that sink in.

And, this isn't a fluke anymore. We are 15% of the way through the season already. This is who we are: despite making the team younger and with new management and coaches, they are still awful. We've simply replaced apathetic, tired, old players with young, talentless, inexperienced players, both extraordinarily bad in their own ways.

Buckle up for another 100+ loss season, folks. Might be just as bad as last year or worse.

I hope you aren't just realizing this now?

Fastball must be straight as an arrow. The Orioles had a young closer in the mid-2000's, what was his name K-something, who had early success with a straight fastball but then hitters figured it out.

You are thinking of Brad Pennington.

As for Castro, a lack of movement on his fastball has never been the problem. In fact, he has some of the best armside run of any orioles pitcher. It's all about command for him and his slider has been awful.

I think he was maybe thinking of Ryan Kohlmeier.
