I blame Hyde for not using Bautista.  With a 1 run we needed him.

Traded to who? For what? It’s like every other team doesn’t know that he stinks. He needs to be DFA’d.

Somebody will give up something for him. But if not, I'm ok with him being DFA'd at this time. It's hurting the team consistently in the field which is the one place he's supposed to be helpful.

Cano was very squeezed... but he continues to be up in the zone.  That will never work.  Even with Fuji's outing, it's been clear there is need for another late inning arm.  I'm not even mad about that (much) but I am really tired of watching less than our best roster/lineup.

Really weird alignment on that too. Not sure why Cowser was so swung around to center with a left-hander. 

Either way, Cano's crap pitching and Mateo's poor defense was too much.

I can’t figure it out with Cano. The pitches looked a bit better today, but they still don’t seem to have the late life they had earlier in the year.  I imagine with the tools available t9 clubs they are emulating that sinker to prep for him. His velo is higher than earlier in the year. I wonder if he will get more late movement at 95 vs 97.

I hope Hyde relishes and learned from this loss, with his inconsistent bullpen use.

He did nothing wrong today. This team has to win with a variety of people.  Cano still hase an ERA below 2.00. Guys get scored on. He just doesn’t give up bombs typically.

Bench? We re past benching. We’ve been winning in spite of him. Ortiz deserves to be up. Get rid of Mateo.

He should’ve been DFA before he made it back to the dugout 

I would rather have Mateo on the bench than Frazier. At least Mateo is plus at a couple of things even if not elite anymore. Frazier does nothing particularly well.

Mateo can be a great fielder and a decent hitter. At this point, much of his problem has to mental/lack of confidence. Can that be fixed?  :confused:

He's shown nothing to believe he can be a decent major league hitter.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Baseball is a funny game sometimes, but you're right, we are going to battle with starters that were not even projected for the opening day rotation. Yet, here we are. Obviously anytime we have a series against the Yankees it's big, but even if we lose 2 of 3, we'd only be 2.5 games back.  The loss of Coulombe is huge and that bothers me more than the starters honestly. Perez, Akin, Baker and Tate filling key roles if Cano or Kimbrel is not available does not make me feel great. Baker threw the ball in his debut back and has been throwing well in AAA for a bit, so maybe he's a little bit of lightning in a bottle that this team needs in the pen.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      Count me in, but the Orioles have never really subscribed to that theory of splitting time like that. They really put an emphasis on everyday players and bench players with everyday players rarely getting days off.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.

      That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.
