I'm going to bed before this morphs into a sht slinging fiasco...

...but I will leave you with this :

Chris Waters will get another start, ladies.

Book it!!!

I like him better than Burres so far. Throws strikes, not afraid to come inside, doesn't nibble.

Awesome, got Vlad off balance on the first pitch swinging.

Guy looks like he is throwing batting practice...He was pretty awful in AAA and that was in a hitters park.

If he gets more than this start, there is something wrong.

OK, I gave you neg rep when you first posted this because I felt like you were just saying it because you didn't want Waters up, and not because of the way he was pitching. Afterall, he'd thrown a scoreless 3 innings at the time, and showed a nice assortment of pitches.

But now I'm quoting this for a different reason. Just to laugh. I'm not going to say Waters is even going to make it through one more start, but come on, this is funny.

This really is amazing...It is almost as if Waters is pitching for the Angels and facing the Orioles...Lefty, making his first start, with mediocre at best stuff against an overly aggressive, free swinging lineup who isn't working the count.

This is exactly what we have seen from the Orioles for the last several years.

He has covered first on two straight plays in the sixth were pretty impressive. Also he has fielded the balls around him well. 1 start is nothing to get excited about as has already been made by SG. But you gotta love how he's handle the Angels!

Could we be seeing a CG SO????

By the way Viv jsut said Penn was supposed to be the starter tonight here. He gave AAA 5 innings & 0 runs.

By "batting practice" I think SG meant that his stuff isn't overpowering.

With how this team's rotation has fallen apart, if a guy is effective, you stick with him until he's not. I don't care about a track record or his radar gun numbers.

I think he's earned another start.

However, Penn needs to replace Sarfate immediately, IMO.

First of all, your reasoning for giving me neg rep is pretty pathetic....Secondly, it doesn't matter because you have no points anyway. Not that I care but doesn't take away from absurdity of it.

And lastly, i still would prefer to see the rotation be Guthrie, DCab, Olson, Penn and Bergesen, even despite this start.

Big picture.

Don't give up on this kid, that's all I'm saying. Give him some more starts.

He obviously can't win with you. You probably would have said the same thing if he had gotten lit up for 8 ER in 4 innings...

You are right...Its called consistency. Its called not overreacting to one start or a small sample size or something like that.

It is called looking at the player and his stats and figuring things out.

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      By Philip · Posted

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
