Last I say on this.  My points and view on NC is what it is.  He would have been a great signing back then.  I said it then.  I say it now. 

Believe what you want.   I am not sure why people keep bringing this up in an off topic thread. 

I never deleted an account over it.   Ever.  Period.  End of story.    But I did get silenced. 

It's all searchable and you have shared so much.  It's odd that you refer to your "old" posts but not who you posted under at the time.

If this thread was on the correct board, this never would have happened

Can someone please get rid of this guy? Hasn’t he violated some rules or something? Not sure I remember another poster making this board this unenjoyable.

You have to give up something of quality to get quality. Absolutely Ortiz would be a plus defender at 2B and would be doing well "IF" the Orioles would have given him that chance. I think the Orioles

Now that his elbow is healed, one of Jackson or Mayo surely has to be called up soon, no? 

I’d like to see Mayo first. I currently don’t have much faith in our 7 hole hitter Ryan Mountcastle.

Mounty is becoming a bit concerning for me.

Love the guy and when he’s right, to me the most talented hitter on the roster. There is something off with him. We are used to the Mounty that can hit it 440 almost clearing both bullpens. He hit the ball on the screws against the Yankees and it went 95 MPH and 365 feet.

Also Mayo is right handed power bat something this lineup could use and it would be good to let him get adjusted right now. Mayo can be a weapon for this team in September if he gets acclimated to MLB pitching.

I'm not opposed to calling up both of them, but I don't think it's likely with the way the team proceeds carefully at promoting prospects.

That doesn't sound like he really hit it on the screws at all.   I didn't see it, so I don't know, it sounds to me like he either mis-timed his swing, got it off the hands, or off the end of the bat.

He's in the 81st percentile in exit velocity and 85th in hard-hit rate, this does not track with what your eyes told you on that batted ball. I'd bet he didn't get the barrel on it at all.

As people below say, Mountcastle is who he is. He'll get hot later and end up somewhere around his current OPS or a 10 pts or so higher. That said, as I've suggested for a few months, I'd definitely look to package him for some sort of arm and let Mayo take over, as I really think between Mayo and giving Kjerstad more ABs we can totally cover his absence and give us a good shot as well at upgrading the performance level.

Question, if we do not add a pitcher at the deadline who can credibly replace Burnes at the top of the rotation next year and if Burnes leaves in FA, how are we going to be better next year? Bradish won't be back until near the end of the season.

Do you think pitching is not that important to contention? Or do you think by adding Holliday and Mayo (and presumably subtracting Santander) we are going to out slug everyone? Do you think Grayson turns into a pitcher as good as Burnes next year? Something else?

You're assuming there will be noone to sign in the off-season. We signed Burns after the season was over. We can sign a #3 now, add another starter in the offseason and get back Bautista. Will Wells be back? We should grab another arm for the bullpen before the deadline. I wouldn't grab an ace that is on the fast track to Tommy John and lose what everyone the organization considers an iconic player for the next 15 years. Also consider the playoffs with so many teams is a crap shoot. It's not always having 3 great starters to win a series. It's how are they pitching when the playoffs start.

Glad to hear that Joey Ortiz is back in the organization then...

Huh???

We didn’t sign Corbin Burnes in the offseason. We traded Joey Ortiz, DL Hall and a draft pick for him.

Tyler Wells is out until late next year after having Tommy John surgery.

For the next 15 years??? Huh? You get 6 full years of team control with any player. My

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I find it interesting that the Phillies took the training wheels off Seth Johnson and Moises Chace and they've flourished. The Orioles never allowed Johnson to throw more than 69 pitches in an outing. With the Phillies he threw 68, 76, 84, 98, 82 before getting promoted to the big leagues. They did the same with Chace who threw a season high 77 pitches in April with the Orioles, but since June was neve allowed to pitch more than 59 pitches in a start. With the Phillies is thrown 65, 86, 89, 89, 81. In his three Double-A starts with pitch counts all over 80, he's held batters to a .137/.214/.216/.430 with 29K and just 5 walks in 15.2 innings. Maybe, just maybe, keeping pitchers on tight pitch counts and not being aggressive with promotions when they're doing well is not the best way to produce major league pitching?

      Orioles acquire Gregory Soto

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’m with you here. We have been struggling to develop arms for bullpen or rotation and it would hurt a bit to see these two be quality arms for Philly. They’re off to a good start. Hopefully Soto can settle in to being a backend guy for us this year or next.

      Orioles sign Adrian Houser to Minor League Contract

      His first 3 innings looked pretty sharp, but then yeah, wheels kinda fell off. He could emergency start, but that's probably about it.

      The Rays Series, 9/6-9/8

      By Frobby · Posted

      I just started a similar thread, which I’ve deleted when I saw this one.  Here’s my post from that thread, perhaps partially redundant of @Just Regular’s OP. Here comes our last series with the Rays, who the O’s have dominated 8-2 so far this season, outscoring them 52-25 in the ten games.  The Rays enter the series at 69-70 and have hovered around .500 practically all year. The apparent pitching matchups are: Dean Kremer (6-9, 4.51 ERA) vs. Shane Baz (2-2, 3.49).  Kremer, who avoided an IL stint after being lit on the forearm with a line drive in his last start, hasn’t faced the Rays this year; in 6 career starts against them, he’s 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA.   Baz, who returned from TJ surgery about two months ago, has only faced the Orioles once, throwing 6 shutout innings against them in 2022.    Zach Eflin (10-7, 3.60 overall; 5-0, 1.95 as an Oriole) vs. Ryan Pepiot (7-6, 3.76).  Eflin, the former Ray, shut out his former teammates for 7 innings on August 9.   Pepiot lost to the O’s on June 10, allowing 4 ER in 6 IP.  He has a 2.40 ERA over his last 8 starts. Corbin Burnes (13-7, 3.19) vs. Zack Littell (5-9, 4.04).  Burnes has two quality starts vs. Tampa this year, allowing 2 unearned runs in 7 IP on June 10 and 3 ER in 6 IP on August 10, the only quality start he’s had since July.  Littell has seen the Oriole 3 times this year, allowing 3 ER in 6 IP on both June 2 and June 9, and 3 runs (1 ER) in 5 IP on August 9.    The Rays’ bullpen ranks 8th in ERA at 3.79, while the Orioles rank 17th at 3.98.  Since the all star break, however, the Rays’ bullpen tops MLB at 2.73, while the O’s are 17th at 4.32.   So, advantage Rays in the late innings.    Offensively, the O’s rank 3rd in MLB at 5.01 runs per game and 1st in OPS+ at 118.   The Rays are 28th in R/G at 3.90 and 24th in OPS+ at 93.  Since the break, the Birds are at 5.17 R/G (7th) and .753 OPS (8th), while the Rays score 3.86 R/G (28th) and have a .660 OPS (28th).    The Rays can certainly pitch, and are throwing three credible starters at us this weekend.  Our offense has been kind of hit and miss lately, so it will be incumbent on our starters to dominate the Rays, as they’ve been able to do so far this season.  I see this as potentially a low-scoring series, and hopefully the O’s bats will do enough for the Birds to come out on top.

      I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with talking about, I just think trying to draw any sort of conclusion at all from his performance at this point is a bit DocJJ-esque.  No offense intended to the good doctor. Everyone knew he was a bit of a project.
