Hopefully in 3 or 4 years we're at a point where we can bump this thread and laugh at ourselves for arguing the merits of Yefry Ramirez vs. Dan Straily and who should have stayed on a 45 win team.

I fondly remember the Jon Knott, JR House days.

My guess is that Scott and Kline will be recalled.

I don’t see any reason to bring Scott back up. He is nothing but a guy who throws hard and wild. Jason Garcia  with just enough additional upside to make his performance more frustrating. Once in a while he is splendid but more often, he makes you want to bang your head on the wall.

If Elias thought Yefry could pitch he would still be here. 

That implies that he thinks that any of these fools can pitch. I don’t think Ramirez was the worst of our available pitchers, and I’m not sure Straily was, either.

But it’s quite a competition…

Fry has struggled a bit recently, plus the addittion of Bleier from injury and Gilmartin made carrying 3 lefties seem like one was going to be the odd man out.

Hopefully he can work on his control in Norfolk and get back up quickly, along with get a chance to face more than 1 batter.

Looks like Gilmartin will be the first pitcher for the Orioles tonight.Not sure why he has not pitched since June 14th but maybe Hyde was saving him for tonight.

As long as were talking about pictures, I have a question about the returns from last season’s trades.

One would think that because they were such high profile returns in such significant trades, they would be Given a whole lot of opportunity to justify their acquisition. But most of them have been beyond horrible, and Carroll( who was awful last year) Pop and Kremer(?)are injured.

my question is whether the new regime is more likely to cut ties with them sooner, or, to put it better, are likely to not give them a longer leash, because they have no personal stake in their success?

Kremer's line in Bowie on 7/11 was: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K’s. He pitched again on the 16th and gave up 4 runs in 6 innings, but he also had 9 K's and 0 BBs. Going again tomorrow, I believe.

Good, so he’s not injured. I think he’s the best of our hopefuls, and I thought he had something seriously wrong.

Kremer, Diaz and Pop probably have the most potential from the trades.

Bannon still has a shot too. He didn't have a good May but has an .873 OPS in June so far (.772 for the full season). Interesting split is he's hitting much worse in Bowie than away. Probably a SSS issue (just a guess).

Bruce Zimmermann has a 2.49 ERA and is striking out 9.2/9 innings in AA. 

The Schoop trade got us Villar and a kid named Jean Carmona. Who knows what he can become, but he's a young SS with decent tools, so there's a chance. 

So there's still potential for those trades to really help us over time.

You’re not wrong, but there’s plenty of reason for skepticism.

Scott's been really good at Norfolk since May 15.

3-0,  1.97 ERA   11 G,  18.1 IP, 13 H,  4 ER, 5 BB,  22 SO,  0.984 WHIP

Let’s hope he stays awhile. His upside is much higher than the rest of the arms they have been cycling through.

      G Rod in the pen (Update: Shut down for season, will not return for playoffs)

      Why does everybody want to jump and label a kid so fast? What is this, his 2nd major-league season? Yes, certainly they shouldn't go into next year thinking he's a lock for 30+ starts and 180-200 innings but we can't say he's already reached his peak either.

      And their defense is very good. To put things in perspective, the Tigers collective dWAR is +0.5. The Orioles is -2.8. Minnesota -4.1, Yankees -0.3, Houston -0.1, Seattle +2.0, Royals at +2.5. The Royals really standout as most of that value is driven by Fermin (catcher) and Witt.  But I think my point is that the Tigers have excellent pitching (starting pitching and bullpen) as well as excellent defense. And they're not putrid with the bats.  I would say the one saving grace about the Tigers is they don't run much.

      We could have easily swept Detroit in Baltimore, the lineup we have now is not the lineup they faced. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, just win.

      Both of them are important to consider here. They could have a mediocre offense every single game of the season, but if the pitching is elite (and it is!), it'll carry them.  We have 6 games against the Tigers this year. And yes, most of them were without the cadre of regulars. But here are the offensive numbers against them: .211/.282/.392 - .674 OPS They scored 20 runs in 6 games against them. Barely scraping 3 R/G. And a good portion of them coming in *1* game.  Out of the WC potentials the O's could face, here are their R/G: Royals: 29 in 6 games = 4.8 R/G Twins: 22 in 3 = 7.3 R/G Mariners: 27 in 6 = 4.5 R/G Tigers: 20 in 6 = 3.3 R/G Out of all the playoff teams, the best RA/G are the Mariners (3.75), Guardians (3.85), and Tigers (4.96). For the playoffs, you want to look at who you're facing on the bump. Which team scares you the most? Because if you can't hit against the team, it doesn't matter what the opposing offense is.  Also you'll want to consider the best fielding teams, too.   Seems to me you'd want to face the team you matchup best against *and* who has the worst defense and worst pitching, because presumably your 3 starters (Burnes, Eflin, Kremer) should be able to hold teams in check.

      I'd prefer Detroit - they've been so hot for so long they should be due to cool off. KC has been just the opposite.

      I'd say the Royals...pitch around Witt and Salvy Perez who seems to have had our number in recent years.  The rest of their lineup isn't too imposing. Wacha  -a guy I wanted this offseason and was laughed at for wanting him- has a 2.64 ERA over his last 15 starts.  He's the soft-tossing type that gives our lineup fits and, IIRC, he was great against us earlier this year.  Lugo has had a great year, so has Ragans.  Their starters are good. But they're 3-7 over their last 10 while the Tigers are 8-2.  A lot of the postseason, IMO, is catching teams at the right/wrong time.  This could all change by next week but the Tigers are hot, the Royals are not... Then again, I said I wanted to face Texas in the first round last year and look what happened.  So who knows.

      Would much rather face KC and to me it’s not close.    game 1 agains Skubal is an L. They’ve proven they can beat us with a bullpen game, a bullpen only behind CLE as best in the AL.
