Anyone see anything in the stats to give hope. I think his walk wait is high which won’t fit. Maybe the Os think they can improve?

No idea, but his walk rate in the minors was not bad.  In low A ball back in 2018, he only walked 4 in 56 innings.   He's relieved and started and had started 3 games in the minors this year before his call up.  No idea about his stuff.

2021 looks like it was his first year mostly starting in minors after several years relieving.   He managed about 5 innings/game, not bad considering.   Walk rate way down in first three starts repeating AAA this year.

4.04 ERA in 329 minor league innings; Watkins is 3.86 ERA in 625.   

Bradish AAA this year was 30 and 5 K% and BB% in about 15 innings; Sulser's been 27 and 4; Denyi Reyes was 27 and 5.

He might be Norfolk's #1 if Rodriguez and Hall ever get here.

Little surprised at the Fry DFA. He was getting it together in May but I can't really argue with taking him off the roster either. He was only making 150k over the minimum and he can't really be trusted, so if you're ok with running a veteran out there who can't be trusted, you might as well use that roster spot get a look at some waiver claims instead. At least until you're ready to call up some guys.

Elias has had a good amount of success with pitcher waiver claims. Not perfect but any means, but he's hit on a few including a good percentage of guys who currently make up our solid bullpen this year.

It's extra nice that we can stash him in AAA.

Hall can really bring the heat but I am not convinced he is a starter. Looks to be a textbook closer to me. Our SP isn’t as deep as people think imo.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Povich has better stuff than Matusz.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I don’t feel picked on — I didn’t offer much detail regarding the changes I am hoping for. If my initial post didn’t sound like it, I do have more patience (at least a little more) than most. It may take more than a minute to get depth in the bullpen or an offense that can adjust in crunch time. I get that. I’m not in the torches and pitchforks crowd, but the O’s can’t sit on their hands either. That’s closer to where I’m at.

      I kept hoping, for the sake of my own enjoyment, that I'd eventually come around after having to look at it often enough, but, no, I still think it's ugly as sin. And I hate how it plays.

      Yeah, but after he was called back up and changed his pitch mix, in his last 8 starts he had a 9.4 SO/9.

      I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.

      The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
