While a quality starter would also be nice, in my opinion, a high-leverage reliever should be Elias’ priority #1.

should have went after robertson from the mets,it would have been a huge help for the bullpen

He had a rough July. I wonder if its time to put Cano in some lower leverage situations for awhile. I think he could be just a few outings away from finding it again, but he's looked very human this m

If Cano has any options left, he needs to be optioned to Bowie for some rest and mechanical reconstruction so he can come back strong for the playoffs.  

For the love of God, Mr. Elias, please trade for someone who can lock down the 8th inning.  

I could see a switch with Wells down the road.

Fuji needs to be the setup man. Let Cano work his problems out in low pressure situations.

I still don’t trust Fuji if it’s not a clean start to an inning. This team has got to find someone that can get people out in the 7th and 8th with men on base.

Trusting in Fujinami to be the eighth inning guy in place of Cano is not a plan. Elias needs to figure something else out if they want Cano in some lower pressure situations. I'm not saying Fujinami can't be that guy, but he's got to prove himself first.

I don't understand that move either but he started to struggle long before that. Using him in lower leverage makes sense but then don't bring him back in high leverage the next day. However, I am not sure who else we trust there. I would be in favor of more.of a committee approach for the 7th-8th.

Fuji needs to get his shot to be the 8th inning guy and Cano needs to be used less . 
Unless we get Hader lol

Why are folks so preoccupied with Fujinami having a “clean inning”?

I’m a pretty big Fuji skeptic. But best I can tell, he’s come in with runners on base 11 times this year, and he’s stranded them 8 out of those 11 times. 

That’s a pretty decent success rate, in terms of getting out of messes. Certainly not the kind of thing that would make me fixate on ensuring that he gets to start with the bases clear, at least any moreso than I would with any reliever.

Shouldn’t have used Cano last night with a 9-3 lead. We’ve gone to the Cano well too often.  

I think they tried to build his confidence in a low leverage situation, but what it ended up doing is gassing him for a high leverage situation tonight..Frankly, I didnt understand why Brandon pitched him last night...he was good, though...

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
