International League K-BB% leading figures:

30-26-25-23-21-21-20-20-18-18

Liberatore's a 21 and Meyer's an 18.

Qualified MLB figures today:

31 McClanahan (Sunday opponent?!?!), 30 Gausman, 29 Burnes, 28 Rodon, 28 Cease, 26 Scherzer

Obviously MLB Bats far far better than AAA Bats.

My observations, starting with a messy first inning: -- It was an hour-and-a-half rain delay on top of getting up early (out of his routine?) for the lovely "school daze" game (I used to love the

Can we just stop arguing about this over and over and over?   Can’t we just have a night where we enjoy a great start by our top pitching prospect?    Frankly, I’m thrilled.  My one worry about R

What I saw was a little shaky in the first inning, trouble locating. Second and third innings much sharper. Every pitch - curveball, breaking ball in the dirt, high fastball - was going right where he

GR is up to #4 on the MLB pipeline top 100 list. AR is #1. Tork is about to graduate in a few days. We will have the #1 and #3 overall top prospects, with the #1 pick in hand. Just as they graduate, I think Druw Jones will enter lists in the top 10-15 range. 

OK, but where will Brooks Lee be ranked?

Is anyone other than Keith Law saying that?

I do believe Baseball America had a blurb they said "industry sources" believe that the Orioles will cut an underslot deal with Berry.

 

but industry officials believe the Orioles were targeting Louisiana State third baseman Jacob Berry for an under-slot deal with the No. 1 pick before Berry suffered a broken finger in his right hand during practice last week. Berry’s injury has created lots of uncertainty about what the Orioles will now do with the top overall pick.

Just absolutely disgusting if they go that route.  In no way can you argue that Berry is the best player on their board or that he is close to the top guys either.  Just a total failure on the Os part if thats how they go.

I mean, who exactly do you expect to drop that you have to go super cheap with 1:1?

When you lose on purpose, you don't do it to get a shot at a player who should have gone top 25 and you get him at 45.  You lose on purpose to land top flight, upper echelon, elite talent.  Otherwise, the overall strategy is absolutely stupid and unjustifiable.

The O's have the largest pool.  They can pay slot at 1-1 and still have money to pay someone overslot later in the draft.

This would be hubris.

And again, they won't have to pay slot.  No way that Jones or anyone else is turning down 8-8.5M.  He isn't going to go to college for 3 years over 500K or so.  Zero chance.

Mayo has a new mock draft with us taking Jackson Holliday. I hope he winds up being wrong. I'm extremely worried that Elias is still enamored with his underslot strategy. Kjerstad and Cowser were mistakes in my opinion. We need to take BPA and go with Druw Jones.

They could go to CC and go back into the draft next year.

Sure..but thats not happening either.  Not over a little bit of money.  You aren't going to go to college, risk injury, push yourself another year away from the majors (and thus another year away from FA) over a little bit of money.

I think it is very unlikely.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
