Dubroff thinks a starter and reliever. Elias doesn’t want rentals. May have to cave mentioned Lorezen. Talked about Carlson possibly. Talked about Ortiz coming up …Going to be moves coming. Said he expects tomorrow to be an interesting day for Orioles fans.

"May have to cave"?? Is that the name of a podcast or something, or is someone suggesting to cave for a mediocre player? I don't follow the internet.

I watch Hader close yesterday leading 5-2 in the 9th.. it wasn't pretty. Got the final out with the bases loaded. Pitches were erratic, walked a couple I believe...  

And I agree with you on Verlander.. .103 pitches yesterday to get through 5.1 innings... 

I keep saying that Brooks Raley would be a better move than Hader. Much more cost effective (I would assume) and would probably yeild better results.

This seems legit:

I know right?  Much rather just trade for Cease alone than offer that package for those 3.  What an awful deal that would be for us, and one of those guy was saying not enough, lol.

Also why would the Orioles want Tim Anderson he's been in decline the past two seasons and has a -1.3 WAR this year. The Orioles have multiple better options to play 2B.

Some of why my gut feel is something bigger could occur these 27.75 hours is I believe it would be helpful for the most important negotiation before Elias - the billion dollar one with Adley, Gunnar, Grayson and Holliday.

Elias is working to induce one domino to fall, and its a two way street....they are all looking at John Angelos' organization.

A Club can raise its floor by getting better at analysis, and also not overextending Jorge Lopez or using below replacement level players on purpose.     The trek up the Wins Above Average ladder isn't as easy to fake.

John Morosi  (typing while listen …..please forgive typos)

Lorenzen and E Rod and Tigers…. Tigers need position players. Ortiz and Mateo. Heavy talks ….

Cease is available…high priced

Civale …

Mariners need young bats, Logan and Gilbert available but hard to get. Dipoto aggressive. They are stuck …. Needs to get better. Seawold is the logical guy to move. 

Padres ? Leaning toward buying or standing pat.

Orioles need 3-4 high leverage guys they can trust late.

Are Pirates done selling?  Bednar is a tough guy to give up. Hate moving him due to local guy. Probably Keller is more likely. 

Dillion Carlson, Flaherty, …. Should be dealt ….have a team that knows how to use these types in spurts…mentions Dodgers

Logan and Gilbert?  That’s the same person. 

Did he say the Os are talking to Detroit about Mateo and Ortiz?

Was an interview on the radio…..May not be able to get a cost controlled guy and have no choice but a rental.

3 to 4 high leverage guys?   I think adding Wells to the bullpen and getting one more quality BP arm should suffice.

    • They also haven’t announced the times, yet.
    • Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.
    • You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.
    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
