Getting the start tonight, Burnes is lined up for 14 starts in the final 66 games, which would give him 33 starts for the team.  At 6.24 IP/start, he’s on pace for 206 IP if he makes 33 starts.

Burns can't help how the other team's pitcher is pitching, and he can't help that the Orioles don't score runs for him. He has a 2.68 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Batters are slashing .204/.257/.321/.579 and pe

But more evidence that he’s going to free agency. “Extension” is the lowest rated category

He's been as advertised.  Enjoy his 96 mph cutter while it lasts.  One of the best pitches in baseball.

After Burnes routine star outing and Cease's no hitter, they are 1 inning apart, and Burnes ERA is a run better.

Burnes couldn't quite capitalize on his Marlins game the way Lugo did on his White Sox game in the Cy Young race between those two and Skubal.

Man where would this team be without Burnes?

Where will they be if they lose Burnes?

I mean....he is good.  Very good.

 

Is he worth elite elite pitching $?

 

IMO no.  He is not dominant by any stretch and on the downward slope of his career.  Would love to have him for 3 years.  But not for what he will probably get paid.

I am not going to go into specifics because anyone can get hurt.  But someone who is under the age of 27 or so.  Who is already dominant.  And who has peripherals on the upswing.  Not the down swing like Burnes.

Again...let me make this VERY clear.  Burnes is a great pitcher.  Would love to have him for a price.  Just not what he is about to get paid.

So Skenes?

Or has he not shown enough?

I'm honestly curious who you is worth the money.  If he's got to be under 27 that pretty much eliminates free agents. Skubal is 27 already so he's out.

Skenes yes.

 

Crochet maybe.

 

I think GR could be as good as any....he just needs to learn how to pitch.  But I would try and sign him long term ASAP.

 

But let me make this clear.  I am not a baseball savant and I by no means am an expert on other teams players.

 

I am just talking about my general parameters for what I would pay a pitcher these days considering the injury risk and $ being paid for good starting pitching.

I think young Japanese aces have generally been good investments.   Partly that is because they are younger when they arrive than the average MLB free agent.  I would break the bank for Roki Sasaki this off season, but there are other good starters who may be available from NPB.

Burnes has been kind of unlucky in the W/L department this year.  In his 7 no decisions he’s pitched 42 innings to a 3.00 ERA.  He’s thrown 17 quality starts in 21 outings.  The guy really gives his team a chance to win every single time he takes the mound.

All true but I'm not paying what Boras will be seeking. Rather that kind of money go to guys that play most every day. But then it is not my money so what I would do don't matter. I still think the calculus for buying pitching is going to change. Big multi-year contracts for near to over 30-year-old pitchers are going to be rare. I await the Sigbot Solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be interesting. Do we have a repeat of last year with a Boras pitcher or not? Going to be an interesting off season for sure. I feel an over-energized OH from post WS on. I mean over the normal over!!! 😀

Another good start from Burnes. That's now 16 QS out of the last 17 starts. 

And I liked the confidence conveyed in this simple postgame interview quote regarding trades. "If they're coming here, they're good players."

This guy again. How many pitchers are better than him.  I’ll wait. It’s gonna be a very short list.

      Good post but that absolute black hole in the lineup had a .685 OPS in August and, I’d guess, more big hits/RBI than either Cowser or Rutschman since his recall on 7/31. We need him to be better but he’s been better than you give him credit for.

      Right now batting Adley 2nd is ludicrous. He can't hit --- has no power and he's too anxious at the plate to get walks these days. It's just so dumb. And at a point give Mayo a chance. He'll never get acclimated to MLB pitching if you play him once a week.

      I assume he’ll get plenty of opportunity to go through the adjustment period next April.  Right now, there are 20 games left in the season and we’re trying to win a pennant race. We’re not really in a position to give charity at-bats to a kid who has done nothing but hurt us at the ML level at bat and in the field.  I’m a big fan of Coby and I have high hopes for him. But I think our fans have been in “build for the future” mode for so long that we’re understandably but probably excessively fixated on developing the kids. Maximizing Mayo’s development at the expense of winning games — and the other 25 guys on the roster — just isn’t where we are at the moment. If he could at least field, that would be one thing. If he had even shown some signs of it clicking at the plate, you could probably justify it. But he just looks lost. Striking out half the time, and not even hitting the ball that hard. They’re already sticking with Jackson as an absolute black hole in the lineup, which I’m sure makes it even harder to talk themselves into forcing Mayo out there too.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      That is certainly an argument.  But that would be like saying you have the #1 Farm system so keep doing the exact same thing.  It doesn't work like that.  I think many people are shorting how unlikely it has been to hit on so many prospects in a big way.  All have not, and to be honest Holiday Mayo and Basallo still have more to prove as does Kjerstad.   But the Orioles have had a huge hit list in 5 years.  Yes many were high picks.  But many names that went around our guys are not here.  With the obvious exception of Witt.  All of that said I do agree with you that he has so far not prioritized pitching.  I do not agree that automatically means that continues forever.  It has been a choice and with the possible exception of this year...it's been a pretty good one.

      I think he’s perfectly comfortable with TB being forced to go with their LH relievers.  For lefties, they have Lovelady, Cleavinger, and Mason Montgomery. We’ve seen Lovelady a few times, and he’s nothing special at all. He’s also pitched in 2 of their last 3, so that could be an issue. Montgomery has pitched one ML inning, after posting a 6.26 ERA in AAA. I doubt they’re scared of him, either.  Cleavinger has been a solid pitcher, but even he has a 3.84 FIP. And they can only use him once — so using him against those 3 LHHs would mean they can’t use him to put us in the O’Hearn dilemma. On the other hand, even without Fairbanks, they still have Kelly (3.03 ERA), Uceta (0.79 ERA), Rodriguez (2.79 ERA), and Bigge (0.84 ERA) as the righties out of the pen. I would think we win (big time) in the trade-off if they’re using those bum lefties to try to match up instead of throwing those RHP killers.

      Totally fair. How is he expected to start adjusting by playing every 5th day.    in fairness a vast majority of those at bats were in his first call up. He went 1 for 2 in his first game back and was promptly benched for 3 games.
