Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Trey Mancini opted out of Marlins contract.

DL Hall.  Saw him two weeks ago.  Didn’t look bad despite poor results.  Didn’t top 94 mph.   Watch his start today.  Didn’t miss any bats the first two innings but started landing his breaking stuff and got good results in the 3rd and 4th.  Announcers said he was 92-93.  Pat Murphy interviewed in bottom 3 said Hall was “special”.   To be continued.

BTW, it was a road game for Arizona.  Besides Jake McCarthy, I didn’t recognize too many names.

I’m curious how his career will pan out. He was buried so deep in the Orioles infield that even Connor Norby would be on top of him.

T.J. MacFarland to the Dodgers for cash.

Interesting choice.   He played the formative part of his career with the Rangers, had more at bats/games as a Ranger than any other team he played for, and went to the World Series twice as a Ranger.   Yet he chose the Mariners.   He did have his best years with Seattle, other than the one he had here which was of course one of the best as well.

I read that the Mariner HoF has a five season minimum requirement for entry.

I bet this is going to count toward that.

Taking a look at some first weekend returns on ex-O's: 

• Jack Flaherty pitched very well in his Tigers debut today. 6 IP, 1 R, 7 K, 0 BB
• Shintaro Fujinami had a bad spring training and did not make the Mets roster.
• Jorge Lopez did make the Mets roster and appeared twice allowing a run in 1.2 innings. 
• Austin Voth made the Mariners bullpen and has pitched the 9th twice in non-save situations with no runs allowed.
• Suggested trade target Tanner Scott took the ghost runner L today as the Marlins got 4-game swept by Pittsburgh. He's looking quite Tanner Scottish with 5 Ks and 3 BBs in 2 IP so far.
• Adam Frazier started all three games at 2b for KC and went 3/9. 
• Darell Hernaiz on the other hand appears to be in a bench role starting only one of four games for OAK and going 0/3 total. 
• Aaron Hicks... well, we've had a front row seat for that one. 

And Hall/Ortiz have been discussed more elsewhere, but Hall went 4 IP, 2 R in his first start and Ortiz started two of the three games going 1/8 so far.
