Man, Baumann's stint this year really took the shine off for me. All the years of fuss for a dude with a middling fastball?

His stuff took a step back after the elbow injury. He's not the same guy as he was in 2019. The hope is it will recover with another winter off.

I'm going to keep voting DL Hall until he wins one of these polls.

I’d like to have a talk with whoever selected Baumann at #5

I’m going to stick with the idea that Hall was ranked lower than 5th last year and after being hurt, he didn’t play enough to jump up the list. I think Hall will be 6th.  Im going Gunnar here.

Granted, Hall hasn't pitched anywhere near as many innings as we'd like - and only 31.2 innings last year - and walks more than he should, but some of his numbers are... striking.  He struck 56 in those 31.2 innings and gave up 16 hits - so more than 3 times as many SO's vs hits given up.  For his career; 284 SO's in 217 innings vs 147 hits given up (just 14 of them homers).  Granted, 122 walks are too many, but batters don't hit him.  Even if he doesn't make it as a starter, he could be Haderish.  Hader might be a good comp for him, imo.

I thought the more strikeouts you have, the higher your BABIP has to be if you want a good batting average and Stowers is at the level where your BABIP has to be well over .350 to have a batting average in the .260-.280 range.

Though if they are related to selectiveness as you say, that gives me hope that with more practice he could cut down on the strikeouts a bit

I don't think you're wrong. He'll either get better or his BA will go down some, but he has room for error in that regard. .260 - .280 is darn near lofty nowadays.

      It would be foolish to discount Burnes value to this team. He needs to be brought back unless the cost becomes absurd.

      Bradish likely misses most of 2025

      Goodbye Brandon Hyde!

      By gtman55 · Posted

      I do get tired of his post game press conferences where he praises the other team's pitching profusely. He definitely isn't fiery, that's for sure. But having said that, he likely isn't getting fired. But, his seat is getting pretty warm and if we don't take the next step in the playoffs next year, he's likely gone.  As much as some of his in game decisions drive me crazy, he isn't the one taking the feeble at bats. The three pitching coaches ( I think they call one guy the offensively coordinator or something) need to go.

      One thing I noticed and don’t care for is…….” We have Bautista coming back so we don’t need to sign All-star FA closer “  and “ since we have Elfin coming back we dont need resign Burnes “ and “ we have Bradish returning from injury so why we need another FA starter ? “  My point is that we can’t count on Bautista , Bradish , Wells , Means & others to return and pick up where they left off .  I advocate Elias to strike hard and fast during upcoming Free Agency season .

      Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.
