Is this the worst start of the season?  That 9 run crap a thon by Kyle Gibson was pretty bad.  This one has to be worst right?

I’d say this one is worse. No matter how many good starts Gibson has I still expect him to suck every time he goes out there

I guess so.  It's a bit of a waste though, using a guy like that to clean a dirty diaper.  I see the point, you get a guy in to save the bullpen as much as possible but you also take away his next start and he's been decent lately.  

Somebody with options to send down so you can bring somebody from Norfolk for tomorrow

Glad our hitters didnt work the counts or take pitches to give exhausted boy a breather.  Get him back out there and blow his arm.   Lets ride him like we stole him.  He is a free agent next year.  We have no reason to not make him pitch every last inning we can get out of him.

We gave Showalter away for this dead arm nothing.   Cant even blame heat and humidity because they are in San Diego of all places. 

And people wondered why I reacted the way I did when I found out we included Showalter and Rom for this guy. Was I wrong to criticize it? Today's game leaves the jury open for more evidence on that question and we won't know until we have a season's worth to go by.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • I was clearly talking about the AL...
    • 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.
