So you’re declaring Rodriguez a Hall of Fame level pitcher before he’s thrown a pitch in MLB?    There were six pitchers in all of MLB who debuted in 2022 and threw 100+ innings:  George Kir

The stuff looks kinda pedestrian. I'm just not seeing that wipe out stuff we were promised. Occasionally the change up dazzles. Fastball kinda sucks IMO. I dunno. I'm super down right now.

I’d certainly give him a chance for redemption his next time out but he was amateurish tonight.

Hyde just told us he is going to make his next start.  Kind of suck.  Should send him down and make him go six innings over and over before we have to sit though this mega crap.

Sending him down after tonight seems like punishment plus, is there a clear upgrade to take his place.  GRod was embarrassingly bad tonight.   The leash just got shortened.

Sure, I can agree with that. He's gotta be next on the chopping block for a demotion I would think. Irvin has been pitching pretty well of late n AAA...

I don’t have much confidence in Irvin being better than what GRod had done up until tonight.

Well, how's everyone feeling now? Thought this might be worth a revisit. I came into this season somewhat pessimistic. Worse than I thought so far.

It's not the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

It was strange on the radio they said after the debacle in KC ,that he should do better because he is more comfortable with Adley. Comfortable tonight but not good.

Certainly not the end of the world. I think in the long run Grayson will be okay, though his prospects of being a solid rotation piece at some point this season are starting to come into question a little.

Irvin has been pitching well.  Limiting the walks and I assume better control.  Not sure what GrayRod is "learning" by taking such a beating.

Of course, but I think if Grayson has another outing resembling tonight, then there won't be much choice then to give Irvin, or maybe Voth a shot. Seems to me Rodriguez will have to earn his next few starts beyond the one upcoming.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.   Grayson, is hopefully getting tougher.  It’s sink or swim time, baby!

We agree.

Unless we have someone who is unquestionably better than Grayson, or he totally falls apart, I don't see the benefit in sending him down.  Whatever he needs to learn or work on imo is best done for him now at the major league level.

That works when all you care about is player development but we are trying to win ball games here. Grayson may still give us the best chance to do that but that could change if any of the AAA guys step up. You could say the same thing about Hall. Maybe it's time to give him a shot and see if he can learn on the fly.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By bpilktree · Posted

      Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short.  That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on.  Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today.  I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever.  Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks.  Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22.  Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32.        Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Looking for bright spots from today’s game, Hays hit three balls on the screws, 102, 104 and 106, two of which went for hits.  His BA is creeping towards the Mendoza line, now at .190. He’s hitting .294 since coming off the IL.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      At this point, after seeing this game and about 3 other games lost this year, I have come around to the fact that the O's are going to have to trade for a shut down 7th and 8th inning guy.   I think that is all they need. But for now they are that ONE guy short of having a BP that can win a WS this year.

      That’s absolutely part of the recipe.

      How is Elias' "Elite Talent Pipeline"?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      If Basallo goes off in the second half we have an outside shot for 4 #1 prospects 4 years in a row.  I’d say that’s elite.  The Latin players he signed in his first year are now 19 & 20 and just getting into full-season ball.  They have also hit on a lot of trades (Brandish, Cano, Povich, McDermott) and will continue to supplement the pipeline through additional trades.  Etzel, Fabian, EBJ, Horvath could all turn the dial up a notch or 2 and become big time prospects.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I agree, but I think the bigger issue is having a tired bullpen and still having Viera on the team.  Elias need to give Hyde better options.
