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.

It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to stash GRod and do what I've been suggesting for a while: use a Wells/Hall (or Hall/Wells) tandem.

Hall probably won't be ready when the ML and AAA seasons starts. I think he's likely to be held back in extended spring training for a couple of weeks and then sent out to AAA for rehab starts.

Rodriguez starts in triple A.  I honestly think he was given a chance to earn a spot on the opening day roster, but he has been pretty underwhelming so far and the Orioles will be happy to get the extra year of service time.

Bradish it seems has also moved down the pecking order, no surprise after his recent battering. As for GRod/Hall tandem it's a way to build innings for both gradually if both are throwing well (vs. Watkins, Voth, Zimmerman, etc.)

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.

      Mountcastle activated, Jimenez optioned

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Loved seeing Eloy's enthusiasm at joining the team over the summer, but yeah it was way past time for this.  I didn't realize he still had options remaining, so I guess he's still around for a 'break glass in case of emergency' moment - hopefully he's done for the year though.  And declining the option is beyond a no-brainer, so that is in all likelihood it for Eloy as an O.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I've been fired up every day since my divorce hearing on 11/12/19. The third best day of my life. In all seriousness, life is good. Remember the 15 straight losing seasons? They're not perfect, but today is a new day and yesterday doesn't matter. Westburg, Urias, et. al. have returned, our BP is stronger and we have our best 3 SP set to go this series. We're 6-4 versus them this year, including taking 2/3 last time we were in NY. Pick your heads up a little bit. Will they win the WS? No, I don't think so. But guess what??! They've got a chance! I was at the game Sunday, and I'll be tuned in to every inning of the last 6 games. LFG.

      I need to be a better fan

      By Too Tall · Posted

      I don't think there is any way to be a sport's fan and not require some form of therapy. For me, OH is my therapy center. If you invest any part of your being in a sport's team, there is no prescription for tranquility. You just have to come to a strategy that best allows you to follow your team. Mine for the most part is to walk away and turn it off. Wife gets mad at me because I won't keep watching a game when we are losing or playing poorly. Says I'm not a real fan. She's probably right but I don't view watching poor performance of any kind as a good use of time. I also don't get too much into second guessing or modern statistical analysis. Not interested in coulda - woulda - shoulda and though I am awed by all the data, it's just too much for me to digest and use. I let you all do that for me. If I think it's over the top I may say something but mostly enjoy the read. In this way, OH has helped me get through the down years and the good ones too. And it's also great in between.  So, in some fashion, we are all addicted to a game - a team. The trick is to remember this is entertainment - not life. And that can be hard. Now beat the Damn Yankees and make me feel better cause the way you've been playing is killing me 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
