When you get the Opening Day start for the Baysox, you get your own thread. I don't make the rules.

Rom made 7 starts and 2 piggyback 4 inning appearances last year at Bowie. I expect he will spend the first half of the season at Bowie and if pitching well, will head to Norfolk. Probably third in line for a starting spot at this point but wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Orioles rotation next year.

Matusz was drafted 4th overall, and his 2.1 rWAR ranks 28th among the 58 no. 4 picks.   Rom was picked 115th.   2.1 rWAR would rank him 6th among the 58 no. 115 picks. So yeah, matching Matu

Got what I was hoping for from Rom tonight, more or less.  5 shutout innings. 2 hits two walks 7 strikeouts.  ERA to 3.77.   That’s more like it.

He's got Rodriguez, Bradish, and Hall ahead of him on the prospect chain. 

I would expect him to be in the mix for a rotation spot to open next season if this year goes well for him.  If he could find a way to add 2-3 MPH to his fastball that would be huge.

I’m very interested to see his path this year. He’s a little overlooked because he’s arriving a step later than three guys with more flashy stuff. But Rom just seems to know how to use his stuff effectively. Didn’t see enough of him last year, but I’m excited to get more good looks this season.

Well, has he added some weight to his frame this offseason?

I really like Rom as a prospect, but there's a big jump from AA to the majors. He doesn't have the red flags like Alex Wells, but without a power profile it's tougher.

If left-handed pitcher talent is a football field and DL Hall is one end zone and <every Oriole Elias recently called out> is the other, whose side of the 50-yard line is Drew Rom on?

After shoving in the AA playoffs, I am hoping for quicker than half a Bowie year here.    Mother's Day Grayson in Baltimore, and Rom in AAA, please.

Do we know at this hour if anyone has let Drew Rom touch a AAA baseball?

No idea but after seeing other homegrown lefties, John Means and Bruce Zimmerman add velocity well into their 20's it makes me hold out some hope.

Oh, definitely. And Rom has a nice profile. Just fringe on the velo.

He already added a bit last year.  Probably not much more coming.

Looking at the play by play, he got in trouble in the 3rd with two singles sandwiched around two walks to start the inning.  All six hits he allowed in the game were singles.   Not the best initial outing but not really that awful.   Hopefully he’ll be sharper next outing.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This season is far from over but that doesn't mean we can't walk and chew gum at the same time. This is going to be a very interesting offseason. The Os have a lot of spots likely secured for 2025 already and yet there is plenty of uncertainty as well. Barring a trade, these guys are definitely on the team next year: Adley, Gunnar, Holliday, Mayo*, Kjerstad, Westburg, Cowser, Urias, Eflin, GRod, Kremer, Felix, Perez, DC, Rogers and Cano.  That is 16 of your 26 man roster. The salaries for those 16 players will total around $46M, give or take. With those 16 players, you have your entire starting IF (including C), 2 OFers, 3 or 4 starting pitchers, 4 or 5 relievers (depending on Rogers) and your key bench guy. *Mayo potentially could start in the minors since he has looked  bad this year but its a SSS and I think they are committed to him and Im not sure going to the minors is going to be some major help for him.  But he will be on the active roster at some point next year. The Os also have the ability to keep (meaning they are under team control...salary estimates following player) Cedric Mullins (8.5M), Mountcastle (5.5M), OHearn (8M option), G Soto (6M), Dominguez (8M option...has 500K buyout), Mateo (3.2M), Akin (2.5M) and Webb (2.2M). For your 10 remaining roster spots, you need a back up C, 1 starting OFer, 5 pitchers and 3 other offensive players. Some of the relievers I listed will be brought back but others likely traded. Those are cheap contracts but the O's need to add another legit high leverage arm and someone(s) will be left off because of that. Either way, the team has plenty of money to add to this team given the low payroll of those definitely back.  Also, keep in mind Bradish will be on the payroll next year and I am assuming they will non tender Tyler Wells. Depending on his status, it is possible they bring him back but not sure I see the point.

      AL playoff picture

      By RavensNOsGuy · Posted

      Your last statement I dont believe is correct with a 2 way tie against the Tigers in this scenario. We would both be 87-75 and 30-22 in the division. It would then go to interdivison record, which I believe we would win by 2 games.

      Does anyone else think that the format of the forum (at least, the phone version) looks different than before the scrub?

      Great point Tony. Though the outfield does become all left handed losing AS switch hitting.    if we do go this route of an outfield of Kjerstad/Cowser/Mullins, we desperately need to add a RH bat to this lineup. Just far too many lost hitters against lefties (Mullins, Ohearn, Cowser and Holliday)
