While you're probably correct, there's nothing harder on a baseball fan of a contending team than having the bullpen blow a bunch of games.    

Having said that, I'm fine with whichever direction the O's go with him.  

Thank Christ, we're not a contending team then.  ;)

There's enough promise here to keep him all season. He's doing fine in the role he's been given and considering the jump of competition, the strike out rate and WHIP really stands out so far. His spin

I wouldn’t put any label on him yet. He is throwing strikes at a high level and misses bats at an above average rate. His K rate is strong and his BB rate is solid.  Problem is, his HR rate

My vote would be to try him as a starter. Next year is the year to try him in that role and see what kind of success he has.   If it doesn’t work, you can move him back to the pen in the second half o

I'm hoping that, through free agent/trade acquisitions and promotions, the number of starters who are either expected to be reliable or deserving of a trial in the rotation will not leave room for T. Wells (the tall one without the accent) in the rotation, and that he'll start the season as the closer.

I'm not confident that will happen, but I hope it will.

Not funny, and of course, we weren't talking about this year.  At some point, it might be nice to not think like a perpetual loser.  

It's pretty funny and it is entirely accurate.

Worrying about not blowing leads when we have- sans Means- the worst starting staff I think I've ever seen, is putting the cart before the horse, to say the least.

How do you not understand that I was talking about the future?

Just so we're clear:

I don't disagree with you because I have a "loser's mentality."  I don't disagree with you because I can't "understand."

I disagree with you because what you're saying is fundamentally wrong.

Worrying about the bullpen before the rotation is ass backwards.

That's all.  I'm not angry about it.  I'm not trolling you.  I'm not being disrespectful.

Saying that Wells shouldn't get a chance to start next year because contending teams need good bullpens is bad logic.

Fine, let's go 1 out at time to clear this up:

1.  I wasn't talking about you having a loser's mentality.  I was talking about team management.

2.  Skip.

3.  I did not say to put the bullpen before the rotation.  I said I'm fine with whichever way the team goes - as far as starting him or using him in the pen.  

4.  Glad to hear you're not trying to be disrespectful.  That wasn't the impression I got.

5.  I didn't say Wells shouldn't get a chance to start next year.  I said I'd be fine with whatever decision the team makes.

Are we good?

We're good, man.

I personally feel strongly that Wells should get a chance to start next year.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
