I HATED the decision to leave Tate in at the start of the 9th.  They’d already had Lopez warming up.  Just bring him in.  I would hsve guaranteed you that he was going to have to come in mid-inning if

One more thing.  The odds of Gillaspie stranding the ghost runner were definitely not good.  You don’t play for one run in the top of the tenth if you’re bringing him in.

It was a dumb post. I know it was dumb. I’m just having a day today. Sorry.

We just need to weather the storm and find a way to win the division and I believe 500 ball will get it done...17 days in a row is just brutal on the arms but they'll get 5 days rest and be fresh for the playoffs...win the CS in 3 straight and get 3 more days off and then there's enough built in days off to keep the pen fresh

You are forgetting the lack of talent part. Even rested, this is dumpster-diving bullpen. You can't hide those in the postseason. Hopefully, they will surprise and play way above their heads.

I'm hoping the off-season plans for Elias includes adding some legit and proven bullpen talent. Yes Cano, Perez and Coulombe to name a few have been good stories this year, but they are mostly castoffs or acquired as a trade throw-in.

I want to see Elias target a top reliever in trade or free agency to bolster the bullpen. Chances are Bautista isn't pitching for the Orioles again until 2025. Someone like Hader would be good or trade a prospect for a pitcher.

Aroldis Chapman would have been a nice pick up this year and was missed on by Elias.

Yea they s u c k ....SMH.... but there is 24 teams with worse ERA's and only 5 better .... we won't have to face the best bullpen in the playoffs because the Yankees aren't going and we we won't have to face the 2nd or 3rd best bullpen until the world series and the 4th or 5th may not make the playoffs......Think with your brains not your heart....lol......top 6 isn't a dumpster diving bullpen

Coulombe's outing: walk, wild pitch, strikeout that should have been a walk, sharp single that Westburg knocked down but couldn't finish. 

Yes, Coulombe looked bad, but he has been one of your best relievers all season.  Lots of good pitchers get themselves into trouble and then find a way to get out of it.  He deserves the benefit of the doubt in that situation given the matchups.  He had a better chance of getting it together and keeping the game tied than Jorge Lopez.

In September a 1.7 WHIP and 4.3 K/9. 
He has been ineffective.

Every bullpen in the majors is a dumpster-diving bullpen. That's how bullpens are built. In 2020s MLB, every dumpster in the nation is inhabited by a poor shivering reliever just waiting for a benevolent analytics-empowered pitching coach to wander by and teach him one neat trick for an 11.5 K/9.

I have to call you out of this one.  I live in a somewhat rural area that has a number of personal dumpsters that I pass by on my daily walks.  I've yet to find a reliever in one of them and with as hot as it is down here, if I did they would hardly be shivering.

They must be hiding from you waiting for a Rays or Dodgers rep to come around.

Hated the decision to pinch hit Frazier for Westburg in the bottom of the 4th. An example of over-managing in the playoffs if you ask me. Not saying it cost us the game, but I think it was short sighted. Westburg was the starter, give the guy a chance at a second plate appearance.

Yea agreed. 
along with removing Bradish veeeeery early, I felt Hyde go out managed by a legend today.

Someone needs to inform Hyde that Westburg has his best numbers against RHP. He is a slave to right/left matchups and ignores all the reverse splits.

I’ve never posted in this thread but I couldn’t resist after that game. Hyde was absolutely horrible today. His decision to pull Bradish was stupid. If it wasn’t for DL pitching great, it would’ve been even worse. Why pinch hit Frazier so early in the game? His management of Mateo today was fall flat on your face bad. But at the end of the day, to win games, you need to hit and score runs and we haven’t done that for just about a month.

      Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, Urias can play 2B. Leave Westburg at 3B like they did with Gunnar at SS and let Mateo and Urias split 2B duties for now.

      Updated SABR Defensive Index rankings

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I have attached a link to the latest SABR Defensive Index (SDI) player rankings, updated yesterday for games through June 7. (Although I'm pretty sure I've posted one or more of these in the past, I couldn't find a previous thread on SDIs. It doesn't quite fit under Gold Glove awards or discussions. But then again, I often can't kind my phone, my keys and/or my wallet, so there may be an extant thread that is eluding me.) https://sabr.org/sdi The SDI is a compliation of defensive statatics: "A composite measure of fielding based on five fielding metrics and computed by a committee working under the auspices of the Society for American Baseball Research. Four of the metrics comprising it are zone rating statistic; Chris Dial's Runs Effectively Defended, John Dewan's Defensive Runs Saved, Sean Smith's Total Zone Rating, and Mitchel Lichtman's Ultimate Zone Rating. The fifth metric, Michael Humphrey's Defensive Regression Analysis, is based on conventional fielding indices but uses statistical procedures to rid them of bias. The Index constitutes 25 percent of the method used to determine Gold Glove Award winners."  I belive zero is supposed to be league average. The Oriole highlight of the update is that Gunnar Henderson is first among MLB shortstops, is tied for fourth among all AL fielders (Texas' Marcus Semien is way ahead of the rest of the field), and is tied for seventh among all MLB fielders.  Here arevthe rankings for the Orioles among qualifying AL fielders, with comparisons to qualifiers on the team we're chasing right now. Some of the rankings seem quite odd to me, but in a rare moment of conciseness I'm refraining from comment. Pitcher -  Burnes is 21st, with a negative SDI. Three NY starters (Cortes, Stroman and Gil) are ranked higher than that.  Catcher - Rutschman is eighth. The NYYs' Jose Trevino and Austin Wells are third and tied for ninth. 1B - Mountcastle is fourth (highest among AL East 1Bmen). The NYYs' Anthony Rizzo is sixth. 2B - No Oriole qualifier. The NYYs' Gleyber Torres is seventh of nine qualifiers, with a negative SDI. SS - Training Gunnar in spots 2-4 are Volpe, then Seager and Witt in a tie. 3B - Westburg is fifth, one spot behind the NYYs' Oswaldo Cabrera.  LF - Cowser is third, well behind Verdugo in first. CF - Mullins is tenth (with a negative SDI). Judge is tied for fourth. RF - Santana is tenth (with a negative SDI). Soto is tied for second.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I understand, but Crochet is going to run into an innings limit later this season.  He would then have to go to the pen this season.   We do need help, no doubt about it.  It will be very interesting to see how Elias handles who he targets and what he's willing to deal away.

      That is true, and a lot of the “badness” has been Westy him himself. I think he’s a very fine player, and I don’t want to sound disparaging, but I would much prefer that he be at third all the time.
