Lorenzen I would give an edge on Gibson for utility with his reliever experience.

It seemed to me his no-hitter was an achievement that in the long run played out as a curse.    I'd hope the Sigbot would yank him after 6 no-hit innings here for improved odds he could continue to sustain his job.

Before the 124 pitch spike in his 2nd game with Philadelphia, he'd already set his in-season high in his first game with them.    Its what you do to a rental pitcher to an extent.

Game 3 onward, he finished the year with 30 innings of 8.00 ERA ball.

Didn't know that, thanks. Yeah I don't want any of these types of idiots. 

I do agree with you on this...kind of why I made the Bauer comment...but I thought you were aware.   Even though Bauer was exonerated of the charges against him, I'm just not sure who will take a chance on him at this point.

MLB just played a clip of Bo Bichette on a podcast name dropping Justin Turner or JD Martinez off his personal wishlist.

He said he felt they could help the Club achieve a higher level of "professionalism, discipline and consistency" it needs.

That’s a move I don’t want to see happen.

Wow!  Intended or not, that’s a shot at the manager and some of his teammates.

Schneider is one of the worst managers I think I've ever seen. It's a wonder he wasn't fired after how they underperformed and the blatant in-game mistakes he made.

Mike Clevinger should be our SP target of what is left. Is baseball savant numbers are pretty good and I think he would benefit from our defense/wall.

Now show is xERA and barrel %. And post links to all of the off the field / team incidents that suggest that he's not just a terrible person, but a terrible clubhouse guy.

I don't think you will see Clevinger as an Orioles from a clubhouse perspective.

CD-not to bust your balls-as I would someone with a Bauer agenda but he was not exonerated-he was investigated but never charged and there is a huge difference.  Prosecutors rarely bring a case unless they are sure they can win but that doesn't mean the person investigated is innocent.

MLB hires ex FBI guys that are very professional and very thorough, I'd trust them more than the DA's office in LA.  MLB suspended him based upon their finding and remember he's held to a different legal standard as a member of the MLBPA through the CBA.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By SemperFi · Posted

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      Without doing any research this has been a feeling I have had too.    It is almost like the bats are trained for world class competition but when .475 clubs throw today's Joe Saunderses it can mess up the calibration. Throwing Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney against the Orioles lineup probably isn't a sustainable October strategy. The hitting pitching balance Elias has kept so far, I agree it is more on Gunnar and Adley to lead the group beating the world's best pitchers. I hope Gunnar gets a Strahm rematch today after yesterday's first ball hack.    If the World Series is 7 close games, Gunnar probably sees Strahm 4-5 times.

      “Preferred catcher” then. Would have been insanity to start McCann today.

      Can Cook be a serviceable utility guy at the ML level?  His offensive numbers are better at Triple-A than in previous minor league seasons.

      Because it’s a RHP, Urias has been hitting well and Mateo offers speed off the bench if needed in late innings.
