As most know, or maybe they don't, my oldest son Michael is autistic so I certainly understand where he's coming from. There's a long journey ahead for them as parents, but as long as they stay active

He's been fantastic for sure, so I decided to look at his stuff a little closer. When you look at his pitch movement, spin rates, and extension, nothing stands out as amazing, especially with his

Given some of the bullpen acquisitions that were completely unheralded and seemed unimpressive at the time they were made -- Baker, Perez, Lopez, Krehbiel -- I'm willing to take a wait and see attitud

Congrats to DC on the win tonight. This man came into the game and maintained his composure after hitting a guy in the face. I don't think he's anything special, but he was good enough tonight. 

Congrats indeed, but I thought someone had to complete the 5th inning to record a W. Did something change?

Only the starter has to complete the 5th.  If the starter is knocked out and the game is tied or we were losing, it's whoever last pitched when we take the lead.

I believe the official scorer could actually award the win to another pitcher if he felt that pitcher was more vital to the win but I believe that only very rarely happens.  I'm sure the good people here will correct me if I misworded.

Win (W)

Definition

A pitcher receives a win when he is the pitcher of record when his team takes the lead for good -- with a couple rare exceptions. First, a starting pitcher must pitch at least five innings (in a traditional game of nine innings or longer) to qualify for the win. If he does not, the official scorer awards the win to the most effective relief pitcher.

There is also a rarely used clause where an official scorer can deem a relief pitcher's appearance "brief and ineffective." (For example, if a reliever relinquished a one-run lead by allowing three runs, but was still in line for a win after his team scored four runs in the following inning -- that may qualify.) If that's the case, the scorer can award the win to a pitcher who followed that "brief and ineffective" pitcher. Which relief pitcher earns the win specifically is also up to the judgment of the official scorer.

Yeah, I’m not sure he’s more than a decent stopgap, but he got the job done. 

I sort of view him like Plutko - maybe he can be a guy for a month or two and help get us through some early bullpen issues before he hits the wall. That said, I do like his stuff more than Plutko.

Good Comp. Forgot about Plutko. It was tough that Coloumbe was able to have a good performance after hitting a guy in the face and sending him off the field bloodied. That had to be weighing on him.

For anyone interested, Plutko actually had a great season in the KBO last year. I believe he resigned with the LG Twins but don't quote me on that. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=plutko001ada

There's a long journey ahead for them as parents, but as long as they stay active and ensure the school system gets him the services he needs, it can be very rewarding to watch him grow and share his unique gifts.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      No.  Nor are they going to lead the O's to the AL East cellar next week.  Elias is going to need to get some pitching, nobody is arguing otherwise.

      Exactly this. While I appreciate he could be the guy, they are loaded at MIF. The more I watch Westburg the more I'm convinced he IS a dude. Calling up Mayo to play 3B I'm only slightly hesitant about because I've read regarding his defense. Westburg looks more comfortable at third to me, but I love that he's played 2B at a high level as well. Nice to have so many options.

      I’d rather see him in CF vs second base but I’m not sure we see that transition or not. I guess it depends on how comfortable they are with doing it at the ML level and in the offseason…because he won’t be in the minors for much longer.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      No earthly way I trade 6 years of a top 20 prospect, catcher or first base, for 2.5 years of a guy who has made 17 major league starts.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I never said that and do not believe any of that as Rubenstein didn't even have control of the franchise at that time. And you better believe that if it was still in Angelos hands he would not allow Rubenstein much of any input until ALL of the risk/liability was transferred to Rubenstein. I love your use of the word "methodical" there to describe John Angelos. I have some of other words for it - cheap, miserish, greedy, moneygrubbing, tightwad, terrible, awful ... just to name a few...lol

      I think the vast majority of people think that playoffs in any professional sport is a crap shoot. I also don't think you'll find anyone on this board that doesn't want to make any additions to this roster. I just take issue with an argument that says there is no way the Orioles could win the WS with their pitching staff. That's over the top and hyperbolic. Just over the past few years, there have been teams that won the WS with pitching staffs that were as good or worse that the Orioles.  '21 Braves starters 3.84, BP 3.97 '19 Nats 3.53, 5.68 '18 Red Sox 3.77, 3.72 '17 Astros 4.03, 4.27 '15 Royals 4.34, 2.72 '13 Red Sox 3.84, 3.70

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      That's the problem with using your top draft choices to draft the best player available: you can end up with an imbalance that makes it difficult to use all the talent you've got. You can reduce the problem by drafting shortstops, many of whom can move to the right along the defensive spectrum, but they can't all do that. And they can't pitch. You can fix an imbalance of talent by trading talented guys who are likely to be blocked by other, more talented guys. But if you're not willing to do that . . .
