The BP is often very very bad. JJ cant do it all and he is showing signs of wear himself. Some of these other guys are going to have step up, but lately I can't think of one you want to trust in a close game.

Well I am going home early. gnite

This pitching staff is very, very thin on talent right now. The bullpen is just embarrasing right now and the fact that our starter has to be announced on the day of the games tells us a lot. Hope everyone is ready for a very poor September....

For baseball. There's some other stuff that'll keep me happy.

But hell, Ton, I was ready for a poor April, May, June, July, August, and September. So I'm already ahead of the game! :D

I'll second that. And with the way things are looking down on the farm, there's always hope--just don't screw up the future for the sake of a meaningless September.

So, we have roughly a month to catch Seattle/Washington and win the Strasburg sweepstakes?

Gotta look for that silver lining! :D

You can't be serious. Markakis just missed one right down the middle and Mora crushed his. These are 2 of the hottest hitters in the league and I think they have an idea when to jump on a juicy looking pitch.

According to Palmer Markakis went after a first pitch that was out of the strike zone and the weak fly ball to left sort of confirms it. He didn't "just miss' a pitch down the middle at all. Although the didn't replay the pitch on MASN it looked to me like Palmer was right and you are dead wrong!:confused:

      Jud Fabian, 2024

      Sure, he’s by no means somebody that the Orioles should be overly resistant to part with if he’s a necessary piece in a deadline deal. But he’s not superfluous in the system so he’s not somebody I would expect they look to offer up as trade bait. I think the Orioles will try to deal from their strength in infield, corner OF and C, and avoid trying to deal any pitchers or CF. But if the team they’re trading with is demanding pitching or CF in return, Fabian and others the Orioles would probably prefer to hang onto will be on the table. Like when the Orioles traded Zach Showalter in the Flaherty deal last year, likely because the Cardinals were demanding pitching.

      Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.

      It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now.

      Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      By wildcard · Posted

      Whether this is a good trade will depend on how good Hunt is defensively and with pitch calling as a catcher.    Right now I just throw him into the mix with Handley as a backup catcher. Its not a good sign that Tampa traded him for another minor league catcher. Means' yet to be determined arm issue and Kremer issue with a blister makes the loss of Baumann something to watch. Heasley and  Povich look like the next men up if the O's need to add a pitcher from AAA. Glad to see McGough move from AA to AAA.

      Time to see Cedric Mullins get his act together in Norfolk for a while. He's got some work to do.
