I get it but....if I had just spent the entirety of the last two seasons in the majors and I got sent down....I think I'd be doing my best to stay locked in. I'd also be worried about all the 0's the staff is putting up in my absence.

It definitely not best sign but we don’t know if they had him working on something once they got a big lead.  He gave up 5 runs and 7 of those hits innings 5 and 6.  Your team getting lot of runs not a bad thing but 17 runs in 4 innings and 5 pitchers has to be hard on a pitcher to stay lose especially since Irvin works fast so I assume sitting would bother him a lot.

That may be correct, but this is more than a ballpark issue.  He came over averaging 2.0 BB per 9 for his career.  This year he’s averaging 6.2 BB per 9.   He’s in a funk and really doesn’t have comma

Love the move, love the aggression. Who cares if you are a vet. Perform or get the hell off my team.  I am such a broken record to anyone I talk to about the O’s but I can’t get over how they fil

Wonder if he is hiding an injury.  He just looks awful

Didn't think about that, could be. He came in with the track record of a command guy. What we've seen so far a the ML level is the opposite of that. Hope he rights the ship and is ready when his number is called. Depth, especially with pitching, it be important.

Irvin was a tough luck loser tonight, as the Durham staff somehow managed to scatter 13 base runners and yield only one unearned run — but he had a very promising outing. He went 7 innings with 4 Ks and 0 BBs, and he allowed only 4 hits on the night (though one was a homer). 

This comes on the heels of his previous strong start against Charlotte. Combined in those two starts, he’s allowed only 3 ERs in 13 IP (2.08 ERA) with 9 Ks against only 1 BB. He’s given up a HR in each outing, but he is finally starting to look a lot more like the good command/control pitcher they thought they had traded for.

That's good to see. We're gonna need him at some point.

They could clear a 40 man spot and drop him. 

Yep..there are a few easy moves and that’s one of them.

I don’t mind keeping his arm in the system and you never know if he learns a new pitch or something like that but this iteration of him isn’t someone we need to protect.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
