The Grayson who pitched pretty well against the Rays, or the two crummy performances against both KC and the Angels? I hope he isnt regressing. We know he's capable of pitching well, but he hasn't shown much in his last three starts. Im saying he doesn't make 4 innings. And gives up 6 hits and 4 runs...especially rocky in the first inning...as seemingly always. Jays 7 Orioles 2.

We will see. I'm hoping for the best. Hes been bad so far. We are trying to make the playoffs. If he gets shelled again today I'd imagine he'd be put on a short leash going forward. Another bad start or 2 and hes got to move to the pen or get demoted. You can't just give away division games. So here is hoping to an effective start.

He has been bad at times. That’s the correct way if saying things.

Hes played below replacement level. That's unacceptable. End of.

Or he's played exactly at replacement level.

Which, for someone making the league minimum, seems acceptable.

The kind who is in the second month of what will probably end up being a 10+ year career and for now just trying to pitch competitively enough to contribute to the contending team he's on.

Sigh.

I try and keep my expectations reasonable and I'm still disappointed.

 I expect very little from you and I’m never disappointed.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By 24fps · Posted

      Adley needs to turn his trend line around to justify roughly 20% of core payroll.  2025 will be an important season for him IMO.

      Thx for laying this out. I would also add that if think about budget in terms over multiple years (any +/- carried over), there definitely is ample room or excess in 2026 as it currently stands with nearly $70M likely dropping off (estimates per roster resource) $18M Eflin $8.5M Sanchez $8M Seranthony $8M OHearn $5.6M Soto $8.7M Mullins $3.2M Mateo $2.5M no buyouts of Kimbrel + Jimenez  $5.7M Mounty (likely to be moved by 2026) $3.2M Urias (likely to be moved by 2026) A lot of those $$$ could be backfilled with pre-arb internal guys, leaving ample room to supplement and/or carry over to more than offset future years climbing arb increases.

      last i checked, it was one plus a throw in. When they become throw ins, because the GM owes the former prospect playing time, they are no longer solid.

      Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.

      Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.

      I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season.

      Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.
