I'm genuinely surprised that people think that the order these guys are lined up to start the season means anything at all.  Beyond the opening day starter, it's all about matchups and how prepared they are and almost nothing to do with any kind of "ranking" of the pitchers.

Sort of like batting order, in that the ratio of angst to any actual difference is enormous.

This is the type of thing that we don’t know about unless it’s reported. So, before we jump to conclusions on GRod’s “struggles” (or anyone else’s), we need to remember that ST results don’t always me

Let him go between 5 and 6 innings a start would be my guess.

Just keep putting him out there.  If he's healthy, he didn't turn into a pumpkin.   He looks healthy.   Just a matter of time before he gets his feet under him.

Wells was very good today. Grayson was great last year in triple a and is obviously a top prospect, but you’d be hard pressed to say he was one of the orioles top 5 starters this spring 

Really enjoyed seeing Wells' confidence today.  Looked great.

Grayson has a better spring ERA than Bradish. ERA ain’t everything, but I think “hard pressed” is a bit of an overstatement.

I would like to see him prove that he can command his curveball and slider.  

So are you saying that over the course of his professional career that he’s shown you that he can’t or are just basing it off what you’ve seen this spring?

I think they wanted GRod in the rotation.   But Wells out pitched him.   We will see if that matters.

Wells pitched well towards the end of camp.   He’s a good option.  I could see them going either way here.

TINSTAAPP!

What in the world does Grayson Rodriguez have to prove in AAA? Let me answer my own question: Nothing.

He needs to start every 5th day at the MLB level. He needs to learn how to get himself right, at the major league level. If he pitches poorly he needs to figure out how to correct his flaws, at the major league level. His secondary pitches either work at the major league level or they don't. 

Give this kid the ball every 5th day and see what you got. Dick dancing around with him is going to stunt his growth. If he's healthy it's time to let him pitch.

I agree, they gave Grayson a chance but appears they are pivoting. If they were putting Wells in the bullpen I don't know why they'd have him start and go 5 innings.

It looks like Grayson was on schedule to pitch a bullpen on the off day tomorrow 3/28 and then start Game 3 on 4/2. See if there is any word if anyone does a bullpen tomorrow and that could be game 3 starter. Irvin?

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
