32 guys have pitched for the O's this year.   They just brought up Tayler Scott.   In the past couple weeks, Brooks/Eshelman/Wojo have made their debuts.   Over the course of the season they have DFA'd or gotten rid of Araujo, Wright, Lucas, Wotherspoon, Rogers, Ramirez, after giving those guys a look.   They've given looks to Kline, Ortiz, Phillips, Ynoa.

They are DOING EXACTLY what you say you wish they would do.   Constantly bringing in new pitchers and giving them chances.   No team in the majors has gone through more pitchers than we have.

Yet you keep with the same complaint, as if they are sticking with 12 pitchers no matter how they do.   That's simply not the case.   The real problem is that the majority of guys they try suck.   But your constant complaints that they are not trying new guys when they have churned through more pitchers than any team in MLB and continue to do so is just silly.

Yeah. IMO, only criticism you can fairly make is that the Orioles should have given up on more of these Norfolk shuttle guys sooner and brought in more pitchers from outside the organization (like Brooks) who become available. I don't know enough about who's been or is now available via waiver, from independent league teams, etc. to have an opinion about whether that would be a better way to go.

HOW ABOUT NOT BRINGING UP JIMMY. OK?

If they had kept Josh Lucas and he'd given up that HR you'd have the exact same complaint, but it would be about Lucas.

It's almost as if we don't have 13 talented MLB-ready Ps in the organization.

And obviously Elias is aware of that too as he has made multiple waiver claims of pitchers from other organizations, including Brooks and Armstrong and Tayler Scott.

They are trying.   Post about how bad Yaco is and no one will argue with you.   Post about how the Orioles supposedly aren't trying new guys and giving LOTS of pitchers a chance to show they deserve to be in the majors -- and I have to call you on that because it's not true.

That's just amazing, Tyler Skagg's mom throws a strike from the mound.   How many mayors and governors and actors other first pitch throwers stand 40 feet from the catcher and can't even come close to a strike.

Did you see the one where the lady yanked it and hit the cameraman straight in the camera? ?

Yac is bad. He’s been bad for a lot of innings. Why does he keep coming up? Once a guy has shown what he does or does not have, send him down and leave him down. That’s my point.

I am glad other guys have been given a chance and succeeded or didn’t, but Yac is a known quantity. 

“They keep bringing up the same guys” which is true otherwise Yac wouldn’t be bouncing up and down.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.

      The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.

      It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective.

      Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.

      It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:

      I am "old school" and I don't disagree, but it also doesn't have to be either/or in my opinion. I would substitue the word "tiring" for "obnoxious" above. 😀 I admittedly don't understand all the data and look at some of it in bewilderment. You can teach old dogs new tricks but it takes longer. I'm trying to learn and follow but still hang on to what I know best. (My smart phone ain't real smart either!!!!!) I suspect I may not be alone in the realm of Oriole fandom.
