Since being demoted, Irvin has given up 17 hits, 8 walks, and 15 earned runs to AAA hitters in less than 13 innings pitched. Whatever he was supposed to figure out by being sent down, he hasn’t. You think that “length” is going to play any better against the Rays or Yankees? 

That is just complete made up garbage.   Those are not real numbers.   He's pitched 24 innings, and given up 10 earned runs and 3 walks.

He hasn't been great but you can't just put up ridiculously bad, pretend numbers.

I have no idea what stats you are looking at.  Irvin has been very good in 3 of the 4 starts he has made.  This is the lines of his 4 starts down there. 6 innings 7 hits 1 walk and 2 Earned runs

At this point, after a tough series loss and the bullpen spent with the team leading our division coming to town tomorrow, the Orioles need bullpen reinforcements, not position players.

It might be time to call up Vespi for help.

Is there some rule in MLB that you can't send a position player down for a pitcher? Because it's still a 26 man roster and in OOTP 24 that has the same rules as real life, you can do that.  If I was the Orioles and I could swap a 3rd catcher for a bullpen arm, I'd do that in a heartbeat for this situation.

I could be wrong, but I think that teams can only carry a maximum of 13 pitchers according to current rules.

Doesn’t the C has an option ?

No options left for Torrens. But considering that he hasn't appeared in a game yet (including today's game when Adley was supposed to be off), it wouldn't surprise me at all if they DFA him and hope that nobody would want to take on his contract. Then we can stash him in Norfolk, like we did previously with Bemboom and O'Hearn.

If you want the MLB stats, you would have to change it from Minor Leagues to Major Leagues to see his Orioles stat line.

The splits which the previous poster used to give those terrible numbers are just from the majors as they match identically with his major league numbers.  So the last 7 games split listed don’t include his minor league numbers.

Yes you can only carry 13 pitchers at any point which makes it harder to use the Norfolk shuttle like the past.  I would love to see a rule that you can carry only 13 pitchers but you have say 10 days during the season you can add an extra pitcher and go 14 pitchers 12 positional goes for that day.  It would put some strategy into it to use the extra pitcher at certain points but if you use them all up in the first half of season you are stuck at 13 rest of way.  Tomorrow would be a perfect spot to use that rule to your advantage as the bullpen is bit short.

My bad, I take that back. I misread his AAA numbers on my phone. (The numbers I quoted weren’t made up, those are apparently his MLB stats this year). Agreed that he has looked better of late. I hope he turns it around, I like the Irvin trade.

      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

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      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.

      Heyman on deadline targets

      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.

      By Philip · Posted

      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…

      Let’s overpay a bit for Crotchett. No reason not to buy the best
