Pleased with Gibson.  Hugely disappointed in Irvin.  We all wanted Rodriguez in this rotation.  Bradish is hurt.  Kremer was good last year and sucks this year.  Wells is probably best suited for a relief role.  Means is out for three months. 

Hopefully, Bradish comes back in good form and Rodriguez settles in.  Kremer goes down when Bradish comes back.  And Irvin at least does what he has done in the past.  You use the first 20-40 games to figure out what you got and what you need.  Still got a lot of games to play.

In one game O'Hearn has already outplayed 3 years of McKenna.

Can you imagine how many runs we would give up to the Rays right now?  Thank god there's time for them to cool down before we face them.  Pitching staff needs to get their &$#* together.  

At least the offense is showing up, and Mullins, Santander and Henderson haven't even started hitting yet.

Rays are facing nothing but bad teams out of the gate but they sure are capitalizing on it unlike us. 12-0 is just insanity but they're pretty much one of the few teams with any GOOD starting pitching from top to bottom at the moment.

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc

      Heyman on deadline targets

      I would like to see the O's have more success drafting and developing their own pitchers under Elias.  But I must concede that so far Elias has an excellent track record of getting good young controllable pitching from other teams farm systems  (Bradish, Povich, McDermott, Cano) or the waiver wire (Suarez, Webb, Perez).   The development of these pitchers suggests that we have excellent coaching in the high minors and in the majors.  There's more than one way to skin a cat. At this point I don't see a need to trade farm system capital for a top-line starting pitcher like Luzardo.  If the season ended today I'd feel really good about going into a playoff series with Burnes, Rodriguez and Bradish as our big three starters.   I also see no point in getting Crochet midseason as he's not going to be able to carry a starters' load into October.  It's more likely that we trade for bullpen help now, and then address starting pitching in the offseason if Burnes moves on.

      I would rather trade for Kikuchi than Luzardo. His FB has gotten hammered pretty much every year besides 2022 and he gets very few whiffs on it. His slider and changeup are both really good but he throws them less than 50% of the time combined. He could probably improve just by throwing those pitches more but not sure how successful he can truly be with that FB.

      They made a conscious choice to not draft pitching, instead to let other teams, draft, pitching, and deal with the failures. I see their logic and I don’t disagree with it, but the flipside is that when you need pitching, you have to pay the going rate. And that’s something that Mike doesn’t seem to want to do.  And that’s a wee bit o’ trouble, it tis…
