Flaherty had great command on the water bottle he threw in the dugout.

What the hell are we watching this little girl eat ice cream for?  Is Wander Franco manning the cameras here?

3 starts as an Oriole and I’m already sick of watching Flaherty

Three former Orioles took the mound as starting pitchers tonight:

Spenser Watkins started for the A's.  He lasted 4.1 innings and gave up 5 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks to the Cardinals.

Jordan Lyles started for KC and has give up 7 runs on 9 hits in 5 innings to Seattle and has not yet been removed from the game.

Ty Blach started for the Rockies and so far has given up 2 runs on 5 hits to the Dbacks in 3.2 innings.

Fantasy football on your brain?    :)

Drew Rom is having a big game against Norfolk.

During the offseason, Wacha was certainly one of the Gibson alternatives (or complements, if Elias could have won both) where it seemed Elias maybe was closer in the bidding.      Wacha has been on brand as an anti-Gibson - effective, but now also having missed a month and a half with something.

Interesting to hear. I've been wondering about Watkins especially. Thanks for the news.

Michael Wacha was a pitcher the Orioles were interested in signing this past offseason. It would have made them look like geniuses if they had managed to do so. That ERA is a very good looking number.

But he went absent July 1 right around when Tyler Wells started melting.

I believe Elias and the Sigbot know Kyle Gibson is not that strong per PA, but they are risk averse and value the reliability.

Some of what will be interesting next couple years is if they can let that guy go completely if they develop enough good pitchers not to need the innings filler guy at all.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By Drifter · Posted

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
