Was just thinking more could be asked of him from the pen. I didn’t have him in rotation before this. 
 

 

 

Agreed. Missing Bautista/Tate at all is problematic, but relying on a back end of Wells/Givens/Perez/Baker for a month or so won't necessarily be a major setback. Any additional losses for consequential periods of time will really begin to take a toll though I imagine.

Tate had been listed on the USA WBC roster, and Wikipedia had Bautista listed on the Dominican roster in the offseason.

Then when the official rosters were announced last week, neither was on a team.

Guess now we know why.

Tate was pouring beers at Crooked Crab on the Birdland Caravan a couple weeks ago.   I wish I had known then, to watch him pour and see if he was favoring his right arm.

They were supposed to stretch Wells out this spring.   That could still happen and we don't know what injuries might happen to the rotation.    Just have to wait to see who is healthy.

I’ve always thought it’s easier to hide pitching issues early on. Off days, cooler weather, etc. 
 

Don’t want anything else to go wrong rest of camp. Considering the ceiling of our starting pitching a strong pen was always a necessity.

I’m sure they will prep him as a starter. Have to do that. 
 

Let’s just hope we don’t have more injuries.

Already starting off with health issues, something I have discussed a lot this offseason.

On top of that, your bullpen is getting attacked at the back end already, which is maybe the biggest part of the team with the way it’s constructed.

All of this is bad news.

Hall being slow to get going in spring sucks too. He needs to pitch as much as possible this season. Let’s just hope he can start the year on time.

Oh well. It happens!

See, this is why I never bother with these January/February “who will be on the opening day roster” exercises.  First day of camp and the picture has already changed considerably for health reasons.  And it won’t be the last time this spring that someone has a health setback.

How you feeling Frobby?   Hope we don't have to put you on the IL with finger tendinitis.

    • But again, nothing you say here changes anything. This team is going to be built from within. They are not going to try to build any other way…and they are right about that. This doesn’t mean they don’t need to spend but again, those guys will supplement the roster. And don’t think they won’t talk about how they added guys at the deadline for 2025. That they are “like free agent signings”.
    • It was the holder, not the kicker.  Jackson may not be perfect, but he's far from the problem this year. He's got a fumbling issue that may at some point cost this team a game or two, but there is no doubt he's playing some good football right now.
    • Yeah I'm surprised that Cleveland has been this bad. They were good last season. 
    • Gunnar also signed a one year contract.
    • The when is really two questions.  One is when do the O's stop being handicapped by the risk-averse mindset that's governed their behavior since 2018, and the second is when does a 74 year-old billionaire tire of being told he has to wait a little longer because Jackson Holliday needs to further refine his new toe-tap?  Oh, and we also need to nail down a position for Coby Mayo, and so on.  No question?  I think the questions are numerous and many of them pretty important, and because they're so important, I think we'll start seeing a change in approach beginning this offseason.  I certainly hope so. Nothing I've said disputes the need for internal development or diminishes the role our current core of young players - some of whom haven't exactly made a seamless transition - will need to play for sustained success.  Nor is it a call for stupid FA spending.  It very much is an argument that time needs to be thought of differently now that two very successful regular seasons are behind the O's and the huge impediment of Angelos ownership is no longer a factor.
    • If he wants to join Hyde’s staff in some capacity, I’d be fine with that. Or are you actually talking about him being on the team as a player?
    • So why would you have sought payment if you were owner as you previously stated?  Since you are not known for being litigious and all? Also as I am sure you’re already aware the media exclusivity rights in Vegas are already shared by 6 major league teams. Which clearly was not the situation in DC as the territory was expressly the territory of the Baltimore Orioles.
