I want to make my own position clear.  I would like to see Rutschman brought up right now.   I think that would be the best for his development and for the team, despite his struggles last week.

I am looking forward to the MASN Orioles video with Paul Mancano, Adley Rutschman and a thesaurus where they search for adjectives to describe the parts of the soreness in his arm aside from the "mostly" parts that are "general".

The rest of it...is it diffuse?   Acute?   Burning?   Tingling?

Fangraphs today is forecasting Rutschman for 60% of the team PA, 2.7 WAR and the team with minimal contributions from others to land about 11th MLB-wide.

 

I remember last year when they did these positional rankings, the O’s were near the bottom at pretty much every position.   This year with Mullins and Rutschman we’re looking a lot more respectable.

It would not surprise me if the over abundance of caution with Rutschman ends when they gain the extra year of control. If he can start the year in AAA playing in real games, then you have to wonder why he can't play in Baltimore on opening day.

The only logical answer is they are doing service time manipulation and using the "injury" as the deniability.

Yea, it seems really convenient for him to have triceps soreness that is bothering him to this extent.

I think the idea would be that as of April 5 he will have seen little or no game action, so going to AAA is the functional equivalent of a rehab assignment.   We’ll see how this gets played.

You say that as if there might be something wrong with it.

Just came here to say how much it sucks that we didn’t get to see him this Spring and now won’t see him in Baltimore until June at the Earliest I think. Would it shock anyone if we ended up not seeing him til after the AS break? I could see this injury lingering.

Where are you getting June at the earliest?

      I’m guessing it’s #3. I was a bit worried about #4, but if that was the case, don’t think that Suarez would be pitching today.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Are you OK with context independent batting inputs that are used in WAR?  It feels like pitching and hitting should be symmetrical in terms of how they factor in sequencing.   FRV is definitely better than DRS for outfielders, as @tangotiger convincingly argues here.  For infielders, it’s more debatable, especially 1B where only DRS accounts for picks. By the way, Fangraphs WAR leaderboard allows you to toggle between FIP, RA9, and a 50/50 mix.  Cowser beats Gil regardless of the approach.

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.
