On the contrary, we certainly can. We’ve got lots of other guys who we can give tryouts to, maybe they won’t be any better, and it’s possible they might even be worse. But Mr. Taylor needs to go away. He’s not struggling. To say he is struggling implies that he’s having a bad day or something like that. No he’s just a bad pitcher. 

I said at the beginning of the game thread that I had stopped caring, so if they want to keep them, that’s fine no harm no foul, but I would certainly bring in someone else.

No we don't. Have LOTS of other guys.

 

 

 

Off to ignore.

The 24-28 have already been up! I don't know what Philip expects of our farm system. Compared to guys who have actually pitched a couple innings in the bigs...

He apparently expects it to have an infinite amount of players even with very high turnover every week or two. Scott is fine. Eshelman isn't as bad as he's being made out to be.. at least not yet. Not even close. To me, it's a nonsensical and unsustainable approach to a rebuild to go all kamikaze on the system you're trying to rebuild until there's nothing left. There is no reason to rush anything at all. None. Zero. If Elias started doing what Philip suggests, I would think he didn't know what he was doing and was running around like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.
