There lies the problem with trying to win. You can’t just shuttle players in/out like you have a ST roster. I think the solution is to send down Watkins after his start tonight, regardless of results, because of the two off days coming up. That gives you an extra arm. 

Not a bad idea. Watkins would have to stay down for 10 days though.

If the pen shows cracks and has issues the rest of the way, it’s not because of Hyde.     And of course he deserves a longer term chance with a team that has actual talent on it.  Been saying t

I love it when people say the pen is tired.  No one here is qualified to say that.  It’s just one of those made up things fans say because it sounds good. The BP is simply not as good as the ERA

I wonder if they move Wells to the pen in the second half?  Could be a way of saving some of the arms down there and keeping his innings down.  Unless they just make him an opener?

If Wells pitches 3 innings every 5 days instead of 5-6 innings every 5 days I fail to see the logic on how that alone will help the bullpen.  Starters going longer will help the bullpen.

If the offense would stop scoring when the team is on the road the bullpen won't hardly ever have to pitch in the 9th inning.

Well I would assume if they remove him from the rotation or just make him an opener that they also bring up someone who can pitch 2-4 innings at a time as well..maybe Hall?  
 

Or if they move him to the pen, another starter (Harvey) is brought up.  
 

Harvey is going to become important in this regards it looks like.  They also may add a starter at the deadline.

He was throwing 100/101 last night with a devastating splitter. Got 4 outs, 3 via strikeout.  Bad play by Odor. Great player took him deep.  I disagree. 

It was a tough decision to put Bautista out there for the fourth time in five days, but I would’ve done the same thing.   And he looked none the worse for wear.  The Odor miscue (and then the presence of Semien dancing off 1B) clearly rattled him, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with being tired.

I’m basing my opinion less on the results and more on what we knew going into the 9th. I didn’t like the decision. I don’t like 3 times in 4 days either. Gotta get these pitchers some rest or they’re gonna burn out.

The BP is simply not as good as the ERA shows.  They don’t miss enough bats or get enough Ks, so there will be games where they give up runs.  Things tend to even out over a long season.  It has nothing to do with a collective group of arms being tired.  It’s just that these guys aren’t going to all go through the year with sub 2.5 ERAs.  They just aren’t that good.

I think Holt and Hyde will watch Wells closely for signs of overuse but I don't think they shut Wells down unless they see some overuse.   They will get him extra days rest.   He could get 130 IP if he continues to look strong.  Averaging 5 IP per start. Probably a 6 man rotation in Sept.

Hall is the one that gets shut down at 100 IP between the minors and majors.

      Arizona Fall League

      I do remember seeing that Basallo went #1 overall in the winter league draft last year. So that will probably be where he ends up. Heck, that’s probably better competition.

      I don't think it's as lop-sided as you seem to.   Pre-roid it's close to a bump.  30/30 to 40/40 range in those years for Bonds.   Sure Ohtani could be using similar types of supplements result wise but the focused workouts would look different for Ohtani if he's not pitching.

      If you can get him on a 3-4 year deal at $20m or less, it's interesting. But here's the rub w/ Santander: yeah, he's a SH. That's great. And he generally has even splits. But he's not great defensively. He reminds me of a SH Nelson Cruz but without the batting average or OBP. I'm not so sure that ages well. I'd extend the QO and pursue a number of other of other options.  To me, it's better to get the draft pick and, say, sign a guy like Tyler O'Neill, Joc Pederson, or Jurickson Profar as your DH/OF type and maybe give RF to Kjerstad.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I'm bringing back: Offense/Defense C - Adley SS - Gunnar 3B - Westburg 2B - Holliday 1B - Mountcastle DH - Kjerstad LF - Cowser CF - Cowser/Mullins RF - ? Backup OF - ? Backup C - ? Utility - Urias Starting Pitchers SP1: Eflin SP2: Grayson SP3: Acquire somebody SP4: Kremer SP5: Suarez Relievers Closer: Felix Setup: Cano Late Relief: Webb Late Relief: Coulombe Late Relief: Perez Middle/Long Relief: Akin Reliever: ? Reliever: ? Depth SP: Povich, McDermott, Rogers RP: McDermott I'm bringing back, but not giving a spot to: Mayo Rogers Guys I'm giving a QO offer to: Burnes Santander - I really go back and forth with Santander. He's not great in the outfield. His average and OBP is a liability. But his power is prolific. Does that age well? I don't think so. I'd extend the QO and move on. I'm not bringing back: Mateo - had surgery at the end of August, could he be back in the middle of the season next year? Sure, but he's a FA after next season, and paying over $3m for a guy that might not play nor be effective isn't an adequate use of money Dominguez - I could be convinced to keep him if we're desperate Soto - was a poor acquisition not just because of the talent given up, but because he was always a situational guy with control issues O'Hearn - $8m for a guy that really shouldn't be in the field and can only hit righties is a lot of loot Santander - Give a QO, move on Eloy - Duh This means we need to acquire the following: Starting Pitcher(s) The O's can't go into next season giving Povich a spot and they definitely can not give a spot to Rogers. Rogers needs to be a deep depth arm until he showcases an increase in velocity and/or incredible promise that he can be serviceable and not a WHIP disaster who can barely go 5. Targets: Snell, Burnes, Fried, Wacha, Severino, Morton, etc.  Reliever(s) No more Phillies castoffs. No more waiver wire, dumpster diving for the entire bullpen. No more washed up vets.  Targets: David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Blake Treinen, Andrew Kittredge, Tanner Scott, etc. Position Player(s) Backup C (give more time to the backup if a better hitter so Adley can be fresh throughout year) Targets: Elias Diaz, Travis d'Arnaud (although I reckon the Braves pickup his option), Jacob Stallings. I guess if they're desperate they can stick with Blake Hunt (in the minors) Corner OF We could always acquire a bat first OF and then put Kjerstad in the OF. Targets: Tyler O'Neill, Jurickson Profar, Joc Pederson, etc. Backup OF Could be Mullins if they, say, call up Beavers and sign another OF, otherwise these are a dime a dozen out there. Just get somebody that can platoon since it's a heavy LHH OF right now. I'd entertain the O's calling up Beavers.

      I don't think Davis continued to put in the same level of effort on his fitness after he signed the huge deal.

      I think he easily surpasses 3/$55 million in this year's market, so it's kind of a moot point. "QO, take it or leave it" is still my final answer.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I would bet there are people in their mid to late 40's that don't remember the O's World Series win.  My dad wasn't a big sports guy and back then family's had one TV.  I don't remember much about sports before the O's coming up just short in 1982.  Definitely don't remember 1979 World Series even though I was 9.
