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

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 ridiculousl

So, you want to give up major league commodities and go with Gunnar, Cowser and Westburg in the lineup most nights?

Yes, I would like to sell high on those two commodities. There are plenty fall back options if those guys fail. Stowers, Vavra, O’hearn, Kjerstad, Ortiz. These are the guys Elias drafted and believes in, so let them roll. I am frustrated with Gunnar as well but he will figure it out soon.

Would it be worth it to swap Rom in for Akin.  It looks like Akin could get 2-3 IP if need be tonight.

Sell high? There needs to be a valuable return in order to be considered selling high.

We have to see some roster moves before this game, right? Right??

For me:

1. DFA Torrens for... anybody useful. Ortiz? Vavra? Too soon for O'Hearn. Could use the open 40-man spot and select Westburg, Lester, Diaz, or literally anyone besides a 3rd catcher.

2. Option Akin for a fresh long reliever. Akins has been bad and the bullpen needs a fresh arm. Let's kill two birds with one stone and call up Watkins or Zimmermann or Vespi or Gillaspie or Hall. Doesn't really matter who it is.

I like the idea of DFA'ing the 3rd catcher for Ortiz.

 

The more I think about it, I believe that they keep Akin for tonight and potentially call up Givens or another arm if Givens is not ready tomorrow. Looking at Akin's game logs, he should be available for a couple of innings if needed tonight. No guarantees on the quality of those innings.

They don't need a bullpen arm today.

The only pitchers that are likely unavailable today are Cano and Voth who each pitched 29 innings yesterday, and possibly Perez who has pitched 2 straight days but only threw 6 pitches yesterday.

Baumann and Bautista threw fewer than 20 pitches yesterday and didn't pitch on Saturday, so either could be available.

Baker and Coulombe have pretty much pitched every other game and both threw fewer than 20 pitches on Saturday and didn't pitch yesterday, so both should be available.

Akin threw 11 pitches on Friday and otherwise hasn't pitched since Wednesday so he is the long man.

If Gibson gets blown out, you may need to make a move tomorrow, but shouldn't need to today.

Perez may not be available due to whiplash. ;)

My honest opinion.

DFA Akin,and Torrens

send down Stowers 

 Bring up Vespi, Cowser, Westburg. 

Move Hays and Urias for pitching prospects.
 

 

 

So let me make sure I understand this. You want to move Hays, who is tied  with Adley for the 2nd best OPS+ on the team behind Mateo and plays an excellent LF and Urias, who has been the 2nd best hitting infielder on the team, again behind Mateo, and can play all four infield positions for "pitching prospects"? Not even pitching that is ready to help the major league team. For a team that has shown all the signs of being a serious contender, breaking up the lineup for "prospects" seems like a very questionable move, especially given that both players have two more years of team control after this season.

If you are making a move that can help the 2023 Orioles, that is a different story but taking out two of your better players for "prospects" is the sort of move a 2018 or 2019 Orioles team would have been in position to make, not the 2023 Orioles.

And watch out for the O's in 2025. Or maybe 2026.

We need starting pitchers who can be efective in, and go deep into, ML games now.

I could see Gunnar/Stowers pinch hit for McCann when Mclanahan is out and a righty reliever is in.  Then Torrens would come on to Catch.

      Elias addressing media at 4:05 today

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      5/31: Mateo Comes Up Clutch

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.
