Raw ability isn't important, it's putting in the time.

Every player can become a success in majors if they spend enough time in the minors first?  Then lets send every player on the roster down to the minors,   bring then back next year, and win it all at that time.

Okay so I’m bad at memes and technology so I’d like everyone to imagine that scene in Billy Madison where Steve Buscemi crosses Billy’s name off the list and then puts on lipstick.    Now imagi

Zimmermann is a guy with below average stuff who needs to keep his pitch mix continually changing and with good command to have success. He's missing way too much in the middle of the plate.

He needs to go to AA to figure this out. He’s pitching batting practice right now.

He was being snarky, not serious.  Surprisingly.

Here's how Fangraphs Depth Charts are guessing Rest of Season with Rodriguez now at zero.

https://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&type=rfangraphsdc&team=2&lg=all&players=0&sort=4,d

Behind main four, Starts forecast 10 for Hall, 10 for Lowther, 8 for Kremer, 6 for Watkins, 6 for Akin.   I don't agree with them about Akin getting any starts as don't expect Success to be messed with.

I saw Shelby Miller took an opt-out after pitching well at AAA.

I think Harvey is going to get quite a few starts.  Don't expect much.  When is his suspension up?  I'm thinking end of June. 10 sounds really high for Hall.  Yes, for another franchise, he would be an obvious promotion.  I would be surprised to see him before September.  I hope we see more of Kremer and Watkins than Lowther.

He’s retro to April 29th. By my calculations the 60th game since 4/29 would be July 1st. I’d assume he will need to build up from there and might be able to go 5 by the last week of July. He’s probably no longer necessary if Kremer has any level of success and G Rod is ready to come up by then. Unless Wells innings expire.

It's been ugly for about three weeks now it seems.  The fact is, we're asking too much of him.  He's not a ML starter.  If we had enough options, you'd give him a chance in an Akin-type role.  The way it is: It's his turn in the barrel.

When Zimmermann pitched well in April, I was holding out hope it would last the season. Deep down I knew this was likely, but without much in the way of viable replacements Zimmermann will keep starting for now.

I think he can be a ML starter but not a great one.  A 4.75-5.25 ERA type guy.  I’m not sure the stuff plays up enough in the pen.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
