Plus what looks like a good BP arm is a bit different these days. I think I have seen about 500 runs after the 6th inning just watching the Yankees play the Red Sox.

Tonight's game (7pm start time) probably won't end until midnight between the Yanks and Red Sox.

I agree, Elias is probably going to aim for a high ceiling player in A ball or something if Givens is dealt. 

If a team (like the Skanks) with a GOOD back-end bullpen trade for Givens, he slots in VERY well 6th to 8th inning. Good arm, NOT a closer.

 

Skanks are a bad example, they don't need ANY pen help. Boston maybe, but many possibilities.

Yea, not like he's been one of the 25 best relievers in the game since he's joined the league.

oh wait...

Oh wait, since he joined the game? Yeah, go ahead and include all five years he’s been playing. 

He’s been slightly above average the last two.

Pashaw. Armstrong might have given up the same HR.

Sure. But wouldn’t you rather have a fresh arm starting the inning than 96-pitch Home Run Bundy?

I’m a’ thinkin’ yup.

Pulling Bundy was the right thing to do, and Hyde should have.

No! He started the 6th with only high 80's pitch count and only 2 runs given up. I try to get him thru that 6th. Just didn't work, he threw a mistake.

I am less sanguine about pitchers. I think every new one that comes is another opportunity for him to not have the feel for things, not be warmed up, be unlucky, or just not have it that night.

      Keegan Akin 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Akin was fantastic last night. Especially notable as his usage went completely against the Hyde/Sigbot pattern: he extended Akin for a second inning even when other arms were available, and he was matched up against all RHB in the second inning (including JD). But we have seen flashes like this from Akin before. I am not ready to trust him although he is probably doing enough to make the playoff roster.

      That's the kind of drop the O's will NEED to see from Honeycutt as he progresses, in order for that pick to work out.  If Fabian maintains that drop in k-rate at AAA, he'll be a McKenna-plus kind of guy. More power, more defense, similarly bad hit tool.

      I’d say dropping his K rate in AA from 37.5% in 2023 to 29.9% this year is pretty solid progress.  He might even see a further drop in the land of the robo-ump.  The overall K rate is 24.3% in the Eastern Lesgue, 23.1% in the International League.

      Mountcastle never improved his offense. He’s the same hitter that Buck publicly criticized for not getting on base enough. I hope the Orioles start playing Mayo at first every night with the Tides so he’s a more valid/experienced option for next year.

      This was always going to be different from last year. Between overperforming and Feliz being out

      Soto up, Mayo down

      By Matt Bennett · Posted

      Smart baseball decisions aren’t made by taking small sample sizes from past performance and extrapolating that out to future performance. Let me try: Eloy is hitting .167 in his last 18 at-bats. He should never get another at-bat this year! That’s silly.  That’s how you end up trading for Gerrardo Parra in 2015 cause he’s hitting .328.

      I thought he pitched decent and as a 5th starter that is about what you are looking for keeping you in the game and giving the team a chance to win.  The fastball velocity was up a tick or two at times and in big spots he had it at 93 which is big difference then 90.  I used to say give me 6 innings and 3 runs or less from a back end guy and i will take it but now with pulling starters so much and pitch counts at about 90 it is more like give me 5 innings and 3 runs or less from the number 5 guy.  He was one out away from that and with little better defense from him and Santander he gives up just 2 runs on the homer by Martinez to the opposite field and not an awful pitch.
