So many unknown things, but I am thinking a 12 man staff.

4 starters: Rodriguez, Bradish, Gibson and Flaherty (We seem to favor veterans)

8 in the pen: Bautista, Cano, Coloumbe, Perez, Means, Kremer, Irvin, Baumann

Webb’s got to be in there with how he’s pitched so far.

Yeah, true. I'm not sure who they would drop. I have a feeling that each series will be different pitchers. Some of it will depend on matchups and also I think they may reward pitchers. I think Wells gets on it at some point as well. Maybe Kremer and Irvin are in one series but not another.

And Hall is a possibility. Hate to cut anyone on that list, though. Hate to cut Fuji for that matter. 

I am worried about Coulombe. They were saying he would be back when first available but hasn't had a rehab appearance yet.

And this still excludes Hall as a potential option.

As of now I don’t include Baumann and perhaps not Perez either. He’s one we’ll have to wait and see how September goes.

Interesting

I guess so.  We don't know what injuries will pop up between now and then.  Flaherty is a bit of a wild card for me.  We've got guys that are approaching their career highs in innings.  We don't know if/when Coloumbe will be back.  We don't know if/when Means will be back.

I wonder if any of the pitchers have contact incentives if they pitch X number of innings in a playoff game. Would Angelos wield to take them off the roster?

I don't think so.  Look, let's all agree that we would welcome an owner NOT named Angelos.  But if you think Angelos...with a team that could win the WS his father never could, would sacrifice that chance to save $50,000, then you don't understand how ego and wealth work.

Angelos is a lot of things.  But if the Orioles win it all, he will be front and center taking a victory lap that would make Cal's lap for 2131 look like a no show.

We look forward to hearing back from you on this subject in a month.

    • I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams 
    • I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF. 
    • We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.   
    • There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.
    • 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.
