When your catchers cant present the ball properly you are not going to get as many favorable calls.

He isn't being squeezed his catchers are hurting him.

Don’t disagree with this. He yelled at ump today, never see that with him. Has to be frustrated. Team is a mess.

By the way, don't know if anybody mentioned it but did that last out remind anybody of the last out in the '83 World Series?

Baseball Reference just updated the stats to reflect yesterday's games. Enjoy: The Case for John Means' 2021 AL Cy Young Award: WAR for pitchers- 2.3 (1st) WHIP- 0.674 (1st) ERA- 1

How could any player that Elias has traded be part of the future core?

Since the no hitter, he has had 4 starts.  In those starts, he has given up 9 runs (all 9 in the last 3 starts) in 24.1 (still a very good ERA).

His K rate is only 6.7 and he had given up 6 homers, 2 each in the last 3 games.

The walk rate is still good but the Ks are down and each start he has had a below average swingstr% iirc.

Speaking of K rate. Yeah I looked up Jeff Ballard today because I was thinking about the youth of the 89 staff. His K rate that year was 2.6. League average then was 5.5. What a different world. 

Olson's 9.5 would play fairly well today.  Had to have been elite back then.

Ok that’s a bit of a longer layoff then I expected. I thought Means might sit out for two weeks and not an entire month. Hope this isn’t a prelude to a more serious injury. 

Yea but if you think about it, he probably gets 1-2 rehab starts.  Even if it’s just one, that’s a start and then 4 days off.  So that’s 5 days right there.  He wasn’t going to miss just another 9 days on top of that. Figure he starts working off the mound within a week, then he goes on a rehab assignment in late June/early July, has one or 2 starts and then the AS break is here.

Possible he pitches in a game before the break but they could just give him more time and wait until after.

Just hope he gets in a few good starts before July 30th and then they can decide whether trading him or not is on the table.

That's right. It just takes time to get a starter back in the ML game.

This also limits his total innings for the year to probably what they would have maxed him out at anyway.  Providing he is healthy he should be able to finish the season without skipping a start.   He was only going to throw so many innings this year.

I think this is a good thing because it takes Means out of the All Star Game convo.  Gives Mullins and Mancini better chances of selection.  
And lest anyone has forgotten how Orioles’ aces get treated in the All Star Game........

Cito Sucks!

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Pretty much exactly what I am thinking.  I even had to cut back on my watching the games because the frustration was killing me.  Now I save all games on DVR and peek at the score if it is safe to watch.  This is odd because when the Orioles suck and they are far below .500 I watch every single game.  Sometimes every single inning of the year.   Crazy if the Orioles had STARTED the year sucking and had to spend the last two months in an amazing race to catch up for a chance for the playoffs we would all be thrilled.   But end the season on a three month skid of misery and the same playoff spot just feels empty.
