Does Wade Miley belong here? Stunk for the O's for two seasons and is now 14-6 with 3.91 ERA in 32 starts / 163.33 innings for the Astros.

Absolutely. Been a great career turn around for the guy despite his recent struggles. If you told me he'd have those number post-Orioles I'd have laughed in your face. If you told me it was done as an Astro, I would have said, "well there you go". 

Good for him.

Wade is a head case, he thinks too much.

When he was here, one of the ex-oriole pitchers (Think it was Scotty) said he had the best stuff on the entire staff, but thought too much.

Too him to go out and trust his stuff and his team, and he went and threw a 12KO gem, and a couple of more good games, and then he would blow up again.

We thought Bud was though too, and he went out and had what 4 or 5 more MLB seasons???

I remember Dave Johnson reporting this about Wade Miley. He was in agreement with Scotty. Stop thinking so much on the mound and trust your arm. His September stats are off the charts bad. In addition to 3.82 WHIP his ERA is 22.09. 

I don't think Miley makes the Astros postseason roster.

Henry Urrutia has split the year between Tijuana and Saltillo in the Mexican League.  He's having an okay season, slashing .370/.427/.673, good for a 1.100 OPS, with 33 homers and 100 RBI in 110 games.  He now has a .356 career batting average between the Cuban League and the Mexican summer league.

Also Felix Pie is playing for Leon in Mexico, hitting .381/.466/.665, 1.131 OPS and 22 homers in 93 games.

Alejandro DeAza is hitting .346 for the New Britain Bees in the Atlantic League.  Joey Terdoslavich, Jimmy Paredes, Steve Lombardozzi, David Washington, Ashur Tolliver, Alec Asher, and Pedro Beato (pitched for Aberdeen as early as 2006!) are also in the Atlantic League.

Brian Matusz, Dan Schlereth, Jed Bradley, Cesar Cabral, Mike Ohlman, Alexi Casilla, Mat Latos, and Merrill Kelly are in the Atlantic League too. I think I recall all of them as former O’s too.

Those are some good pulls. Schlereth pitched 11 innings for Norfolk in 2013.  Jed Bradley spent 12 innings in the O's system in 2017.  Mike Ohlman got as high as the BaySox in 2014.  Mat Latos... I know we talked about him a lot but I'm not sure he ever suited up for the O's, maybe in spring training?  And I've never heard of Merrill Kelly, although he had a pretty good career in Korea from 2015-18.

Is a 3.82 September WHIP (WHIP, not ERA) bad?

Compared to his August 0.968 in five starts (3-0), I'd say Yes.

Every month has been good except September. MLB.com Astros beat reporter tagged his start today as his audition for the playoffs.

I’m going to sound like a sour puss here, but for years there has been a thread tracking ex-Orioles over in the MLB forum.    This thread is kind of redundant, but I understood it was set up specifically to track the guys we traded at last year’s deadline.    Now it’s just turned into a thread about all ex-Orioles.    To me, it should be merged with the other thread and put in the MLB forum where it’s always been.

That's why I asked when I first posted about Miley. Wasn't sure where to go, but now I know. Thanks.

    • I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start. 
    • This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.
    • Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.
    • That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.
    • You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.
    • I'm talking about the tone.  It's like they are gleeful that Cease is going through a rough patch.
    • Mullins is a guy that has very little chance of getting an extension or a large contract from anyone. He makes sense as a 4th outfielder type on a team with a right-handed hitting CF, something the Orioles won't have unless Jud Fabian just completely turns it on.  I have to imagine this will be Mullins last year with the Orioles, which should move Cowser into center opening up left field for Stowers next year.
