We gotta do something.  The 5th starter right now is Irvin, the bullpen, or somebody from Norfolk.  They just had Bautista throw a ton of pitches to secure tonight's game so the bullpen is in trouble tomorrow.  I just don't see this pitching staff, as is, making it two more full months and then having much left to grind through the post season.  They need help.  Sure, it'd be great if Means, Hall, a refreshed Wells or some other org guy can contribute I don't see enough here right now.

Ideally we add a starting pitcher and reliever tomorrow before the 6pm trade deadline. Of course with every contender chasing pitching, it will be interesting to see what prospects Elias trades to upgrade the O's for postseason baseball.

Concur. I do also thing we see McDermott or Povich in the pen at some point down the stretch though.

If this was under the old September rules then 100% we’d see Povich and McDermott. With only being able to have a 28 man roster, we just need an experienced reliever that has been there before.

Agreed and, of course, no one wants to give up major pieces for rentals and/or mediocre players.  There's obviously a balance but I just do not believe they can win in the playoffs without adding arms.

Yes. There’s enough value there to be the highest bid, and it’s enough of spare parts to hurt less than it looks. We’d be favored with Ed Rod in a home playoff game versus anyone other than Cole. The bullpen could also use a fresh arm. 

I’m all for adding ERod, but there are many AL starters that we would not be favored against with him on the mound in a playoff game (McLanahan, Glasnow, Gausman, Scherzer, Valdez, etc.).

We’ve already beaten half of those chumps WITHOUT Rodriguez.

I’m talking about at OPACY. Not on the road. I think we’d be slight favorites against all of them come playoff time.

Elias is not stupid at all.  If he cant get us the pitching we think we need it will because the other teams are driving a hard bargain maybe so steep Elias cant convince himself it is fair.  

I hope we get a starter and another bullpen arm.  If we cant I guess we will have to take a deep breath and ride this thing to the bitter end.

Well I guess there’s only one thing left to do, then. 

Win the whole effing thing.

Its July 31st and we are in 1st place in the toughest division in baseball and have the best record in the AL.  I think most would agree we don't need to make a big splash. We have a good thing going right now with some good chemistry amongst these guys. 

We have a young pitching staff who are already approaching career highs in innings and its only August. Wells based off his recent struggles likely already has some arm fatigue. Can we realistically count on  Wells, Bradish, Kremer and G-Rod to be at their best down the stretch. I don't think so and if Elias doesn't address that in someway, shape or form that's going to be a huge let down. 

While its clear that Elias and Co. know how to draft and develop, but can they negotiate trades and fa signings?

I think major piece is unlikely, but not totally out of the question if Elias lands the right pitcher who isn't just a rental.

      Who is the greatest living baseball player?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think if you are going to ignore PED issues, Bonds probably held the title of greatest living ball player long before Willie Mays died.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.
