I was listening to 105.7 yesterday afternoon. They made is sound like the rotation was decided but the fifth starter.

I think it was Roch, made it sound like Gibson, Irvin, Gray Rod, and Kremer are all in. The last spot is Bradish or Wells with the loser going to the pen. 
 

Thoughts? Do you think Hall start at AAA?

Grayson has nothing left to prove in AAA.  He needs to learn the rest at the ML level.  He’s throwing 97-98 so he seems fine physically.  Even before the last strain, he looked like a fastball changeu

The only logical reason to send him down is to game his service time. He'll have to make an adjustment to ML hitters at some point and if you waste some of his innings in the minors you are just

I think if you read a little more closely we're not judging off statistics alone. Also, I think you can certainly say that both Wells an Voth have established themselves as major league pitchers.

Bradish is a lock.  Barring injury or a GRod implosion, Wells is going to the bullpen.

Looks that way, then they can have him ready to pitch starter's innings in case of injury or poor performance while he gets to full strength physically. I'd prefer they go that route to giving him infrequent outings from the BP. He should be given every opportunity to fail as a starter first and he gets preparation for that at Norfolk.

It’s interesting that the depth is potentially better than the guaranteed spots. 
 

Wells and Hall are both guys that I wouldn’t expect a full starters load anyways, so if they start the season in the bullpen and work their way to the rotation when the inevitable injuries happen then that’s fine with me. Though, I think Hall will probably start in AAA as a SP. I feel like starting him in the bullpen in MLB would be a good way to manage his innings and get him a long look against major league hitters in the meantime. He doesn’t have much else to prove other than control and that’s probably never coming around anyways if we’re being honest.

I'm not a rocket scientist but I believe the rotation is set barring injury.... Gibson, Irvin, Bradish, Kremer, and Rodriguez... Wells will be the long man and get spot starts to manage innings, I see him getting around 15 starts unless Means makes it back to his pre surgery form ( figures Crossed ) Hall goes to AAA to work on his walk rate... I could also see us going to a 12 man staff for the first 20/26 days or so with all the off days giving the 26th man a little more time to battle it out in meaningful games                                    

I have stayed at a Holiday Inn express before :)

The rotation is set. Not official but it is.
 

-Yesterday 3/16 it was Irvin 
-Today 3/17 Kremer pitches 

-Tomorrow 3/18 Grod

-Bradish last threw on 3/10 in a MLB game, on a back field yesterday  3/16. 

-Gibson pitched last 3/13. I assume he starts one of SS games Sunday probably vs Pittsburgh. 3/19. 

The last spring game is Monday 3/27. Not more spring off days. Two off days before opener in Boston on 3/30. The 21st both Irvin and Bradish would be on turn and we face Boston. I was a little surprised more Jays regulars didn’t play last night but I doubt they pitch Bradish vs Boston even if the Orioles are home on Tuesday and then turn around and faces them in Boston. Will have to see. They can tweak who pitches by a day or so the last week of spring.

3/19 SS Pitts  Gibson? 

        SS @NYY  Watkins??

3/20 @PHI Wells/Zimmerman??

3/21 BOS  

3/22 @TOR 

3/23 DET 

3/24 NYY

3/25 @PITTS

3/26 @PHI

3/27 STL

3/30 Opening Day in Boston 

 

I can’t see the Orioles pitching Grayson tomorrow vs Sox and then again in Boston 2 weeks later. I can’t see them pitching Bradish vs Boston on the 21st and then in Boston so I guess Irvin goes that game. 
 

I’m going with Gibson, Bradish and Kremer vs Boston. Grod the first game in Texas and then Irvin. I’m guessing they want Kremer, Bradish and Grod set up to face the Yanks.

Gibson, Irvin, GrayRod, Kremer and Bradish throws a good mix of not sexy (Gibson) to hopeful (Kremer and Bradish) to potentially franche changing (GrayRod). 

 

I still think they should have taken a flyer on Trevor Bauer but those five guys above plus Wells, plus the eventual Means and potential of Hall make up for what could be the most underrated starting staff in all of baseball. Obviously they have to perform but there's A LOT to like about these rotation pieces, especially given the newly balanced schedules. 

 

Seth Johnson is the guy that I am keeping my eye on for this upcoming year. Although it's extremely unlikely that he throws in a MLB game this season, I genuinely think that his recovery and his potential to man a rotation spot for the next few years (providing he fully recovers from TJ obviously) places his importance to the O's franchise higher than that of DL Hall.

      The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.

      LOL. 1.  I never said Basallo was an elite athlete. 2. I’ve said I’d like to see Basallo improve his plate discipline similar to what he showed 2nd half last year. 3. Basallo also needs to keep improving defensively. 4. I hope Basallo can improve over the 2nd half of the season. 5. I’d like to see Holliday cut down the strikeouts and get his average over .300 6.  I think he has a flaw in his mechanics which causes him to pull off the ball.  I hope he corrects it.   Where’s the problem?

      Last trip to Oakland, July 5-7, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Trust me, you missed nothing by missing the Coliseum.   Why “should” we have swept Seattle?   They’re leading their division, playing in their park.  I’m really happy to have taken 2 of 3.  Losing the 2-0 lead was disappointing but the offense just didn’t do much in that game and obviously the pen had a bad day.   More generally, I never “expect” a sweep of any opponent.   Sure, I hope for some sweeps, and we’ve had some.  But even a team like Oakland wins more than 1/3 of its games, and the odds basically never favor a sweep even when a really good team faces a really bad one.   Just win the game in front of us, that’s my plan.

      I'm going to somebody other than Akin.  Perez wasn't available since he pitched in back to back games. Same goes for Kimbrel.  I generally like Cano when he hasn't had a ton of rest which hurts sinkerballers, so he'd be a decent option.  In order of preference there: Webb Cano Let Baker finish it out Akin  Tate I reckon Hyde had that Showalter in him and was hoping to use Webb in the 9th. But I'm really opposed to just slotting guys into innings and more about putting them in based on effectiveness and situation. High leverage is really going against guys like Akin.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      That works, though I'd really prefer it if we didn't trade within the division, if possible.  I'd rather our prospects helped other teams rather than rivals.
