Eury Perez?

I saw what he did today.

Did you?

0.1 IP, 6 ER, 7 H

As smart of a person that you appear to be, I know that you looked at the 10 starts that he made before today's flop. The young man was pitching to a sub 2.50 era. I think the Marlins are fine with what he has given them thus far including today's face plant.

Make no mistake, the W-L record says this is a season worth investing in, but I suspect the price of pitching over the next month will be so high that I can see the O's internally deciding to punt unt

I specified today for a reason.

I just thought it was amusing you make that specific comment after he just had that performance.

You don't see the humor?

With you I never can tell...lol

I surmised that it could have been a joke when you put the big bolded caps like I did earlier today.

We need our top prospects to play like they should.  Adley was the number 1 prospect in baseball and he has been a disappointment with the bat the last two months.  Henderson was also number 1 prospect and besides a hot 10 game stretch has been a below average hitter.  Mountcastle even with his flaws was supposed to be a bat first hitter and he has gotten worse.  Mateo isn’t hitting worse then last year.  Mullins since his return has struggled.  In pitching the number 1 pitching prospect in baseball has been sent down because of poor pitching.  DL Hall another higher level pitching prospect is down in spring training complex trying to figure out where his velocity went.  If these top guys don’t actually play up to there potential now and in the future we are not going to reach the levels we all thought and hoped we would.

Fading fast ..4 in a row, just like the bad days.. whatever part of the game we need to have not perform in order to lose happens

If we score 6 we give up 7 

If we give up 1 we score zero 

 

Yankees right on us .. it won’t be a week at this rate 

They need to change something.. anything

Ryan Mountcastle had 4 hits tonight. If he's back healthy and seeing the ball well like he did early in the season against the A's (5 HRs in 1 game), maybe he can provide a spark for the team with his power when he returns. At least against RHP.

I mean LHP

I'm suffering from the Mandela Effect. It was actually 5 HR's in the series. What I'm saying is that he performed great then, and if he's back to seeing the ball great now like he was then, hopefully he can help the team.

If we’re going to part with any of our top prospects. I think we should look for more than a rental. 
 

Who should we target if we were to offer say Hays, Mayo plus a fringe prospect? 
 

I say Hayes because it’s the right time to sell high on him.

O’Hearn is 4 for his last 31 And Hicks is 2 for his last 24.

Both are obviously SSS but you are also talking about 2 players who have largely gone unwanted for the last few years, so SSS or not, it could be the beginning of them being “what we thought they were”.

This isn’t to say I believe that these guys should be cut or optioned back down now.

However, now that the bats have cooled down, there is no longer any excuse to keep Cowser down.

If we are trading Mayo, it’s not for a rental.

I agree. It may be time to seriously pull the trigger on brining up Cowser. He will definitely improve our defense and team speed and has the swing decisions/OBP skills that at least won’t hurt our offense (but will probably help it). 

Ryan O’Hearn is not/never was/and never will be a consistent clean up hitter on a team vying for contention. I was in agreement with riding the hot hand, but now that he has cooled off considerably, it no longer seems like a wise proposition to delay Cowser and for that matter Kjerstad. They are the more talented players, probably better hitters, and definitely future key cogs to our team’s success.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.
