Arrieta has been pitching worse as the season has been progressing, but his ERA+ is 102 which is nearly identical to his 104 from last year.  

He still as a ways to go to reach his Orioles level of bad. 

Going to be checked out over the break for bone spurs.

It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

Baseball can be a funny game.   Two guys who clearly weren't good enough to make the 47 win Orioles last year, are now playing for the Yankees, who have won 57 games at the All Star Break.

Nestor Cortes and Breyvic Valera.

Valera, part of the return for Manny, looked OK with the Os last year. Might have hit better than Martin (or the guy we dropped in ST) but it wd have meant moving VIllar to SS.

Once Valera showed he couldn’t play SS it was going to be tough to have him on a roster because we’re going to have a “short” bench for the foreseeable future.

Was at the Pirates Brewers game tonight.  The game featured some former O's and farmhands.

The two starters were Zach Davies (Parra Trade) and Steven Brault (Snider) trade.  Both trades I hated at the time.  Davies pitched well, giving up 1 run in 5 innings without his best stuff.  Brault also pitched well, getting no help from his catcher but left in the 5th with an arm injury.

The game also featured Matt Albers, who did his job and Josh Hader who got the Brewers out of a jam and then worked through the next inning.

Oh, and not Orioles related.  The pirates scored 5 in the 9th to tie it, gave up 1 in the tenth, and then lost with 2 runners on and a starting pitcher pinch hitting because they had used their bench up.  I got a lot of nasty looks when I said this is why the NL needs the DH, because I don't want to see a good game end because a pinch hitting starting pitcher cant catch up to 95 mph heat.

Can I just say if you told me 10 years ago that Matt Albers would still be pitching in professional baseball, I'd have laughed in your face. 

Credit to him, man. He's been in the game 13 years and has basically only gotten better since his Orioles stint.

Rickard is killing the PCL.

400/443/618/1061   He has scored 16 runs in 15 games.

It's the PCL, isn't that below average? 

Kidding, but literally that's only the 3rd-best OPS on Sacramento (min 50 PA).  Team OPS is .858 and they're a .500 team.  They have 12 players with significant playing time with .800+ OPSes.

I always thought Albers was an important part of the Orioles bullpen when he was here.  Capable of pitching multiple innings off a short start.

Some people have pointed out his ERA and WAR were not impactful while he was here, but it does not surprise me he is still in the league.  He knew how to pitch, even if the physical skills limited his upside.

He had a significant labrum tear and repair that took him about three years to come back completely. He was not at full physical capacity with the O's. He is one of the few that have come back from that better than before.

2nd best.  Williamson is with the Mariners and Yaz is with the Giants.   Green is the only one better on the team at this point.

Nestor Cortes and Breyvic Valera.

I strongly feel we should have kept them both.

Wasn’t it Valera vs Alberto. I think we kept the better player. 

I don’t know how we were going to keep Cortes last year when we needed fresh arms from the minors everyday. It would be impossible for us to keep a rule 5 pitcher, even with a 13 man staff. Just the reality of where we’re at. 

On a side note, Tyler Wilson is one of the better SP in the KBO again. That’s two seasons of success for him there in an offense friendly league. I could see him getting a shot with a MLB club this upcoming ST. He’s probably at least on par with Wojo and Eshelman.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      Oh get real man. You said that they probably wouldn't even make the playoffs at a time when that was a nearly a statistical impossibility. You were right about nothing.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I would think MLB would like to see offense spike, given the current state of things.  But also, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want the game played with a true strike zone. It will benefit hitters more than pitchers, but ultimately the net impact on offense would be less than you might think after the pitchers adjust and target certain parts of the zone where they are more likely to get calls (possibly the high strike, as umps tend to miss more often off the plate).

      I'd say there's zippy chance of Basallo being up here this year.  I mean, maybe for a September call up and a few games in Baltimore but that all depends on the pennant race, etc.  No chance Basallo is on the postseason roster unless something unforseen happens.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Who did the Rangers bring up with there great pitching prospects?    The Astros won with a lot of low level international pitching guys they signed for very cheap.   The draft is such a crap shoot as is the international signing guys so you try to bring in as much talent as possible then figure out who you have.  Look at how many high draft picks never even touch the majors.  Do you think Elias thought Mayo was gonna be one of the best prospects in the game drafting him in the 4th round?   Do you think he knew Basillo was gonna turn out to be one of the best hitting prospects in the game yet other teams pretty much let him land in our lap by not going after him.  Every single team passed on Henderson, Westburg, Mayo(multiple times) so it isnt like these guys were sure things(not that anyone is).  If he knew Henderson was gonna be an MVP player, Westburg was gonna be an all star, Mayo one of the top power hitting prospects in baseball and all the other guys like rutschman, Cowser, Kjerstadt and Holliday were gonna succeed then maybe he would have looked more at pitching earlier but you don't know which players will succeed so lets blame him.  Druw Jones was the consesus top pick in the MLB draft going in and when we took Holliday everyone was kinda like what are they doing and so far it looks like we are the only one that knew what we were doing.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we should wait for the deadline.  We're a lock for a WC spot.  So why make a big trade unless it's for a Game 3 SP?  If it's a home game at OPACY then I want a LH SP.   The names that could be available are Snell, Montgomery, Quintana, Tyler Anderson, Reid Detmers, Manaea, and Kikuchi.   I know we've lost 5 in a row, but it's not that bad.  Look who we've lost to.
