Arbitration eligible? What's he going to make 600K? Come on now, him being Arb 1 Eligable in the offseason isn't a reason to DFA him in June.

Well, this disappoints my daughter.  In happier days, ie. 2017.

Put it this way: Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft.   Of the 56 players picked in that spot, only six have had more at bats in the majors than Sisco.   One of those was Josh Bell, who for some reas

Wells pitched 3 days ago.

Probably picked Eshleman because he will be sent out shortly. 

Yea you’re right, I’m thinking he pitched Sunday for some reason. You guys are killing me, I’m still pissed it’s Eschelman but you’re all chipping away my reasons lol

Still could’ve been Bradish, but it’s whatever at this point. If the O’s want to create a culture of losing every single game then so be it. I just really can’t stand players like Eschelman hanging around.

I feel like Braddish, Wells and Lowther will be up later if/when Harvey and Lopez are gone and Fry/Sulser are traded. But not when Means and Zimmerman are hurt for around 10 days.

Bradish was never on the table.

You maximize service time for your big prospects. Bradish easily could have started this game. Wells is an option, he hasn’t done great this year but just had a nice game. Whoever Cameron Bishop is just had a nice game at Bowie and is obviously stretched out to be a starter. There’s a reward to a player who has done well and no one expects anything from. I’m just saying there are other options other than a player we all know is a lock to have an absolutely terrible game and we know this because his time at the big leagues has not been great and he’s having a bad year in the minors. 
 

Just a huge red flag for me for how this team is run. Not being good because you’re saving resources for a better time and going out of your way to be bad as possible are two different things. The way Elias is running this team is an insult to baseball just as much as the Yankees and Dodgers outspending everyone year after year. I’m just glad I didn’t have to pay for my MLB.tv subscription. It’s easy enough to just lose interest now

Just remember dit wasn't long ago Houston was run this way. They lost over 100 games three straight years. Turned out OK.

I much rather see Jannis, the knuckleballer. Dude is a class act, could benefit from major league experience and at least be fun to watch on an abysmal team.

He just pitched yesterday so he’s not available today.

Not to this degree.

Sure they lost but they didn't do some of the things the O's are doing.

And what exactly  have the Orioles done that is so egregious? There are teams with lower payroll and plenty of 2019 draft picks that are still in the minors.

Letting coaches go over money?

Gaming folks at Mountcastle's prospect level?

Letting an announcer go to save a few bucks.

The ONLY reason the O's aren't last in payroll is that they can't shed the Davis contract or the rest of the Cobb  contract.

If they could have they would have.

There's been a lot of grief (understandably so) about how Lowther has been used this year, so I am fine with them leaving him at Norfolk to take his regular turn if they didn't plan on bringing him up here to be in the rotation for the foreseeable future.  My gripe is more about Harvey and Lopez getting starts over others we should be looking at, but I'm not going to get too worked up over an emergency starter they needed to bring up.

Is Mountcastle too good or not good enough to have service time managed?

I agree losing Gary sucked but we don't know what he was asking and I'm still not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

If the Davis contract didn't exist we might not be going through what we're going through.

I don't recall anyone else that was a fringe top 100 guy getting his service time gamed. 

Normally it's your top tier guys.

Using the Davis contract as a crutch, when the payroll is as low as it is, is total bs.

They have really brainwashed the fans into thinking this is all fine.  It’s truly amazing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Cano has been great since June 1st even if the last week has been rough. 11.27 K/9, 3.41 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.73 SIERA. Perez’s ERA is worse than last year but his K-BB rate, FIP, and xERA are all better than last year, while his xFIP is slightly worse. I don’t feel notably different about those two this year than heading into the playoffs last year. If anything, having Cano as a 7th/8th inning option instead of the closer like last year is probably better.  The pen isn’t great but I don’t think it’s that bad. Cano, Perez, Soto, Dominguez, Coulombe, Webb, and Akin have combined for a 3.37 ERA and 9.81 K/9 this year with the O’s. They’re missing a go to back end guy (which is evident when pitching to guys like Judge and Soto) but they have a number of solid options that can strike guys out. Guys like Kimbrel, Irvin, Baker, Smith, Tate, Ramirez, and Heasley really hurt the overall bullpen ERA and they won’t be pitching in the playoffs. I’m definitely taking them over KC’s pen and I’m not sure it’s that much worse than any other AL playoff team’s besides Cleveland.

      Will the Orioles get home field advantage during the Wild Card?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Your conclusions are 100% correct, but it has nothing to do with division records in that 3 way tie It is head to head results among the tied teams: 1) Det 10-9 (4-2 vs Balt, 6-7 vs KC) 2) Balt 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det) 3) KC 9-10 (2-4 vs Balt, 7-6 vs Det)

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I assumed the OP meant next year.  I don't think there's anyone on the international side who has a chance at this point to blow up that quickly.  I agree that if we're looking beyond just next year then yes, that's more likely.

      You are wrong. If Detroit wins out and the Orioles are swept (and KC doesn't sweep), we fall to the #2 wild card due to our tiebreak loss to Detroit head to head.  Detroit is the #1 wild card in that case.  We are the #2 wild card.   If KC wins 1 or 2, they are the #3 wild card, otherwise Minnesota is the #3 wild card. If Detroit wins out AND KC wins out and we are swept, it is a 3 way tie for the 3 wild card spots.   Based on head to head among tied teams, we are 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det), KC is 9-10 (2-4 vs us, 7-6 vs Det), and Det is 10-9 (4-2 vs us, 6-7 vs KC).   So Det is the #1, we are the #2, and KC is the #3. So to be the #1 wild card and get home field Tuesday, we need either one win or one Detroit loss.   KC's results are irrelevant to whether we get the #1 spot or not, although they could jump us and Detroit by winning out if we lose out and Det wins out.

      LOL, I was worried last year about getting swept in four games by the Red Sox when the magic number for the division was 1. Part of being a fan is imagining the worst case scenario. I would agree it's not likely, though.

      O's just need to win 1. O's lose home field if they go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0. I actually have no idea what happens if the O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0, and Royals go 3-0. They'd all be 88-74. O's have tiebreaker over the Royals, but not over the Tigers. Royals have the tiebreaker over the Tigers, but not the Orioles. lol Does anybody know what happens in that situation? Does it go to intradivision?  If so, here are their records intradivision: Orioles: 32-20 (.615)  in AL East Royals: 33-19 (.634) in AL Central Tigers: 27-22 in AL Central Interestingly enough, that loss against the Yankees now means the Royals have the intradivision tie breaker. So it does look like there are 2 scenarios where the O's don't get home field: O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0 OR O's go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0/Royals go 3-0. If the Tigers lose, doesn't matter what the Royals or O's do.  I think?

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Skubal holds Slater to a .000 average/.000 OPS. SSS with only 5 AB's, but he's 0-5 with 0 walks and 2k's. DH vs Skubal = Rivera
