https://pressboxonline.com/2023/06/19/glenn-clark-time-for-orioles-to-start-thinking-proactively-about-tyler-wells-innings/

I just got done reading this article that was published today. 

Wells is only 22 innings away from reaching his total innings from last year (103.2 innings). The most he has thrown is 119.1 innings back in 2018. 

Obviously he won’t be restricted anytime soon but how many innings will the O’s allow him to pitch before they think about moving him to the bullpen or shutting him down?

The O's need a 5th and a 6th starter.  It would be nice if one of them is better than a rotation spot filler.  Obviously one of them could be Gray Rod, but I feel he's a way aways with his control.  Still walking a lot of batters at AAA, which will balloon in the majors.  Interesting to see what Elias does before the trade deadline.  Need to at least find a starter who can slot in the rotation occasionally the 2nd half and give Bradish, Kremer and Wells the occasional start off.

Wells - Probably around 150 IP or when he shows fatigue.

GRod  -   Has walked 3 batters in his last 12 IP.   He will probably start tomorrow.   If he does well he will probably be promoted to the O's to make a start on June 27th when a 5th starter is needed.

Irvin - May stay in the pen as a 2 inning reliever who can spot start against selected teams.  Eating innings and  giving the starters an extra day when needed.

Means - Is due back in August.

Voth - Is on the IL.   He will get a rehab month to fix his problems.  He started 17 games last season with a 3.04 ERA.   I expect him back with the O's this season.

Zimmermann - Currently has a 3.50 ERA at AAA and he has options.  Could help in the 2nd half.

Watkins - Cut his finger and still is not back to this 2022 form when he had a 4.17 ERA as a starter in 20 starts.

Elias acquisition  - Its possible he trades from surplus for a starter.

Pitch limits are problematic, dubious, questionable, rooted in spurious science and detrimental to the won/loss record. But then I'm a Boomer so there ya go.

I think pitch limits are legitimate and necessary to protect arms.

I do believe that innings limits are all of the things that you say above.

When e’re the term “pitch limits” assaults my hairy ears I often harken back to those halcyon days of baseball when men were men and umpires wore ties.

Innings pitched per game by Bob Gibson in 1968:

7, 7, 9, 9, 12, 11, 8, 9.2, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9,

9, 9, 9, 9, 11, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9

1959-1975 IP: 3884.1

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I mean Adley’s attempted hit vs Witt is a good example. Adley hit it harder…but missed for a few feet. That happens. But even softly hit balls find green…the Os aren’t..others are…like Detroit..like KC vs us. They win on an IF hit, Westburg’s ball is a homer in 28 of 30 parks.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. .

      What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.

      I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday.

      I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.
