I would rather not put Yennier in the closer role yet. MASN showed a graphic recently showing how dramatically he has changed his pitch selection/location since the beginning of the season. Which is understandable given that he's a rookie who experienced a ton of success early before the league adjusted. I don't think the ninth inning is an good spot to be tinkering with your approach. Ditto with Fuji. Put a finished product like Danny there for the time being.

I'd probably prefer Coulombe, his data is impressive.

I think this is where we differ a little. Not on our take of what Hall is, but our hopes for him.  In other words, I shudder to think of a game situation where Fuji is shaky and then Hall is the gu

I hope we can stretch out Bradish tonight to pitch 8 innings tonight to offset some of the loss of Baustista???  We can always us multiple pitchers in the 9th to close the game???

With pitchers required to face 3 batters at a minimum before coming out, if we need multiple relievers in the 9th inning, the game is being saved.

Awful news for Felix and the team but next man up.

I think TWells likely gets slotted into a backend spot where he and Cano pitch in the most high leverage situations followed by DC then Webb.

Felix’s numbers can’t be replaced but the other guys have now have opportunities to step into bigger roles. Who seizes their chance? Personally I like the idea of DC getting save opportunities. He’s been nails. 

I agree DC has been nails, but I think Hyde's approach will be the matchup game. The beauty of Bautista is that his stuff matched up well against anyone. So I think it'll be more of a closer by matchup concept as opposed to a set pitcher in that position.

Elias might be doing some GM talk to not show his cards but a full tear you can tell right away so you don’t have to keep running tests,   However a strain or partial tear is a little harder to tell the degree of the injury so you need more time and tests to be run.  If it is complete tear he is not telling the truth about needing more tests but hopefully they are more looking into what degree it is.

Sad for Felix .. best wishes for him and praying for his recovery!!

 

Next man up, either one of the others steps up and pitches well in that role or you rotate around till you get the guy who does best. 
 

I would start with Cano and then Coloumbe,.. Wells is my dark horse

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they aren't lying. They gain nothing by delaying surgery, and if the results were clear that he needed TJ, he'd be getting that ASAP, they are likely waiting for more tests, not just pushing back the inevitable to give the fans false hope via GM speak.

I'll be surprised if it's not bullpen by committee from here on out.

Coulombe has been pretty consistent with both sides of the plate. Edit: Corrected the table.

I don't think Hyde is a by committee guy.

So few managers are at the end of the day (game).

I'd rather see the Orioles play match ups use Cano in the 8th inning if it makes most sense and let Coulombe close out the 9th. The one silver lining is the Orioles have a little over a month to figure this out before the playoffs start.

The chart I looked at showed us with one more opp.  I didn't say we had the best save percentage did I.  Last time I looked Felix had 6 blown saves but we only lost two of those games.  

That means that we either scored the next inning and won the game at home, or someone else saved that game on the road.  Either way, they were blown saves.  The outcome of the game doesn't minimize the fact the he didn't hold the lead.

That being said, I'd still rather have him healthy and pitching for my team, so I'm not being negative towards him above, just clarifying that 4 times he blew saves, THE TEAM was good enough to overcome it.  4 out of 6 times....I kind of like those odds.

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
