Are we sure that's not the top prospects for the lacrosse draft? Those names. Wow.

SInce we're 2-2 above the TIgers, shouldn't GB be 0.0.

I ask today, though I wouldn't dare start a Player DFA's thread in the main board, because I just saw the Astros planning to DFA Tony Kemp with Correa's return, and am wondering if the Tigers or Orioles would have 1st AL priority.  I do think Kemp is a little more interesting player than formerly famous relievers being weeded out by medium good teams around now.

Yes, sorry about that... it was an oversight. I think I'm going to stop updating as often as I do, because the OP provides the link to Tankathon, who already does the work within a short time after the finish of every game. :)

I'm no expert, but the Tigers probably have first shot.

FYI... The Tigers have gone 12-51 since starting the season 18-20.  That's a .190 winning % during this current awful streak.

The Tigers are going to be pretty tough to catch. They have a total of 3 position players above 0.3 rWAR, and one of them (Castellanos), will almost definitely not be on the team in three days.

I was feeling that way too, but I just peeked at the next couple weeks and we have 13 straight Yankees/Astros/Red Sox games after this Toronto series.  The Tigers open an 11-game homestand against the White Sox, Royals and Mariners...

I half want to say the Tigers short term juju will be better because they did what most probably expected whereas Givens in the end didn't pitch well enough to become anyone's priority.

Don’t think we have a chance in hell of catching The Tigers for the #1 pick. Been in Detroit for the last week watching them on local TV, and am at the day game right now. As bad as the Orioles are I doubt that a single current Tiger position player is good enough to crack our lineup, and their pitching is probably a step down from us as well. I’d be surprised if these guys won 10 games the rest of the way.

We are technically only 1 GB right now. Over the next week, the O's get the Red Sox and Royals. The Tigers get the Rays and the Astros. Hard to see us making up any ground in that stretch. After that, the Tigers get the Twins so it's hard to find wins there either. Never know, I guess.

Yeah, it'll be a challenge to catch the Tigers. I'll be happy to get a #2 pick, if that's what happens. Updated after today's (8/15/19) games:

Picked up another game on Detroit tonight, which makes four games picked up out of the last ten. As bad as the Tigers are I didn’t think that was possible. This whole suck-tastic race could be determined by the four game series in Detroit mid September. They took two out of three at Camden Yards earlier in the season, and if they win three at CoAmerica that may be all she wrote. 

Anybody know what the tie breaker procedure is if both teams end up with the same record?

Win % is the key, not Games Back. If the Orioles have the exact same Win % as another team at season's end, the Orioles will get the higher pick.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.

      That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.

      I'm talking about the tone.  It's like they are gleeful that Cease is going through a rough patch.

      Mullins is a guy that has very little chance of getting an extension or a large contract from anyone. He makes sense as a 4th outfielder type on a team with a right-handed hitting CF, something the Orioles won't have unless Jud Fabian just completely turns it on.  I have to imagine this will be Mullins last year with the Orioles, which should move Cowser into center opening up left field for Stowers next year.
