Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

Good idea for a thread. I was thinking about posting something yesterday after Beckham homered for the second time. I'm really curious to see how Miley pans out with the Astros. He's looked like a different pitcher this spring. 2.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP with 10 Ks in 12 innings.  Maybe they do have the magic formula to getting the most out of their pitchers. Time will tell.

Miley is always been a puzzle.

Talented pitcher, and let, let his head get into it too much.

I remember one of the MASN guys telling Miley to just throw the pitch and not over think it, went out and got 12 Ks, his next start and had a good 3 or 4 game run, before slipping back into his usual mediocre stuff.

Amid all the gloom and doom, one happy note has been our rule five guys. They both made the team, and they both deserved to, and each can expect to be a genuinely productive part of this team. How do you think it feels to make the jump from single or double A all the way to a major-league roster? 

Good for them! Very good for them!

Yesterday some of the guys we loved and lost -- or in the case of Tim Beckam just endured and lost -- had pretty big days. I thought it might be fun to check in on how the ex-O’s we let go during the purge of 2018 are doing throughout the year. 

I don’t think this should be a running tab of misery, but perhaps something more sentimental, because I want Adam Jones and Jon Schoop to succeed in their new homes, and I’ll always be curious about how Manny marches toward a potential date with Cooperstown. So, maybe we can track how they’re doing. 

So, no. I don’t think that this should be a place to post highlights of Josh Hader’s awesome 6-out save yesterday. That’s milk spilt long ago. 

But hey. AJ went 2-4 with a dinger leading off for the D-Backs yesterday.

Manny went hitless in his Pad’s debut, but made a great play

Tim Beckham went yard twice off of Chris Sale

And Schoop had an 0-fer
 

Beckham is going to break the hearts of Seattle. He also muffed a play on the infield, but I think it went for a generous hit instead of an error.

he is well away from BMore

PS I’d really like to see a video of Joey’s good catch yesterday but I have an able to find it anywhere. Do you have access to it?

He was really good for Milwaukee last year when healthy

Ex-Oriole related: Steven Souza Jr, who was likely starter in RF for the Dbacks, messed his knee up REAL bad and is out for the season.

Adam Jones's likely playing time increases significantly with SSJr's misfortune

Ow!   I had a friend do that in a neighborhood softball game once. He was chasing full speed after a fly ball near the foul line, almost overran it, twisted while his leg was planted to reach back to make the catch, and crumpled in a heap. All three ligaments torn.   He recovered nicely and has been playing with us for about 10 years since rehabbing from his injury.    He did lose a bit of speed, but at our age it’s hard to tell how much was due to injury vs. being older than dirt.

    • Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.
    • So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?
    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
