Decent joke.

Has a better pedigree than a lot of the potential Rule 5 guys, and has the advantage of being able to be learn how to be a reliever in the minors unlike if we were to take a similar player in the Rule

So it's been a busy offseason, 3 acquisitions already.   Cole Sulser, Pat Valaika, and Marcus Diplan.   Damn shame we won't be able to meet the new guys at Fanfest.

I'm not convinced that they haven't been planning some sort of surprise replacement event.

I've been very much drinking the "wait and see" kool-aid, and it could make me look like a fool.

Agreed, and good point about the Rule 5 draft kind of guy. This is a Rule 5 kind of guy that we can keep in the minors, so why not? Rather have a guy like this then an Eshelman-type guy.

Is Diplan eligible to be taken in the Rule 5 by another team?

Tigers had a full 40 man

The Brewers announced that they claimed infielder Ronny Rodriguez from the Tigers. The 27-year-old has struggled in two seasons with the Detroit organization, showing some power and defensive versatility but demonstrating some of the worst on-base skills in the league. Through an even 500 plate appearances at the MLB level, Rodriguez is a .221/.254/.396 batting line. He still has multiple option years remaining, so he can be shuttled between Triple-A and the Majors in both 2020 and 2021.
Also departing the Tigers is right-hander Marcos Diplan, who was claimed by the Orioles, per a team announcement. He appeared in 38 games between the Double-A affiliates for the Twins and Brewers, totaling 68 2/3 innings of 4.85 ERA ball with 9.6 K/9 against 5.8 BB/9. Diplan was ranked among the Brewers’ 10 to 20 best prospects back in 2017 but has seen his stock dip in recent seasons as he’s begun to bounce around the waiver circuit. Notably, Diplan was has now been claimed by the Tigers and Orioles this winter — the teams with the No. 1 and No. 2 waiver priorities. He has a minor league option remaining.

Sounds like a nice arm, who they just converted into a reliever this offseason. Command and control seem like major issues, but sounds like the kind of arm you take a flier on. 

Obviously walks are his biggest issue as his BA and SGL against were pretty good: .225/.343/.387/.731.

With 40-man space available, why not? 

By, This off-season, you mean the majority of the 2019 season? He was a RP from May until the end of year. The Twins used him a couple of times as opener, but he was rarely facing a batting order twice after May 5th.

From his full transition(May 10th to now) 

44 IP:  3.25 ERA, 1.24 WHIP,  24.6K%, 15.3 BB%  4.54 FIP.  .178 BA against.

Yes, I meant this past season, not off season.

If he can learn to control that, he could be a nice bullpen arm.

Is it wrong that I read that line in Herve Villechaize's voice? 

If it is, we're both wrong.  ?

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
