Any thoughts on why he is failing toiss bats? The velo is the same as his peak years and he appears healthy. One thing I am seeing is his slider usage is up but that could be more symptom than cause. When he isn't putting guys away that drives up his pitch counts and keeps him from getting past the 6th in addition to leading to more base runners and runs.

Not sure where I heard it, but it was mentioned that his cutter movement is down.  So, same velo, but a few inches less movement.  With that said, it was also mentioned that his cutter is still grading out as the best in the league- just not as good in comparison to years past.

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

Was at the game last night and he looked crisp in his throwing, noticed Burnes radar was consistently hitting 97 the first 4 innings.

Did he overthrow a litt and become Tillman with a straight FB? Maybe, he had not hits through the first 3 innings.

An observation from Jay Jaffe this afternoon:

2:36
Corbin Burnes K%+ has declined from 153 to 135 to 115 to literal average 100 so far this year. Will this push his contract closer to Nola money ($172M) than Strasburg cash ($245M)?

it might cost him some money but i wonder if it's a matter of self- and team-preservation. He's averaging 3.78 pitches per plate appearance, down from 3.92 last year and 4.09 the year before, and it's helped him maintain an innings-per start rate above 6. Orioles starters are dropping like flies; they can't afford to lose him so maybe asking him to pitch to contact just a bit more isn't the worst idea

Be careful you will get a bunch of supposed statistical experts that don't actually really understand statistics saying that this is impossible because there is no correlation between pitch counts and strikeouts.

Right now I’m not sure Burnes would be either my #1 or #2 starter in a playoff series. Hell, the way he’s been pitching lately I’d rather have Kremer or Irvin start a do or die game for me. 

If Eflin comes back the way he was before he went on the IL, I would make the #1/#2, Eflin/Suarez.  Trying to win games here, not give out participation trophies.

He's finished 6 innings once in August. If they are trying to get him to pitch more innings it ain't working.

We can’t just keep trotting this guy out there to lose games for us.  
 

What’s the harm in giving someone a spot start in his place next time around….give him a week off and see if he can get his sh1t together.  

Let Brandon Young have a couple of starts in his place for the next 2 starts and put Burnes in the bullpen.  Can't be too much worse, because Burnes starts have been almost automatic losses lately.  I don't know if Burnes will have a meltdown if he's sent to the bullpen.

I vote for this.  At least for one start.   I wouldn’t use Burnes at all during that time. See if a full week off helps Burnes any.  
 

Burnes’ time here is almost over.  Who cares what he thinks

Still time for him to get back on track but there's no two ways about it, he's been awful this month.

1-3 with an 8+ ERA in August. 45 baserunners allowed in 25.2 innings. If he's battling an injury then he needs to go on the IL. If he's healthy then this stretch is probably going to cost him several years and tens of millions of dollars on his next contract.

This has to be satire.

      O’s look done

      By Brooks The Great · Posted

      Plenty of teams limp into the playoffs and then make a deep run. This team has enough talent to do it, I just want to see Mayo and Kjerstad finally given a shot to play every day (put Kjerstad in RF, Santander at 1B, Mayo the full time DH), and move away from struggling/low ceiling vets like O'Hearn, Eloy, Rivera, and Slater.  Mayo and Kjerstad playing regularly and Westburg making it back for the playoffs could transform the lineup. I think Hyde is a terrible manager who can't write out a good lineup to save his life, but this offense has been so bad for so long that I think even he's capable of making those changes.  If Webb, Coloumbe, and Grayson can all make it back healthy, they'll also make a difference.

      How am I scapegoating him? He hasn't played well for a very long time. I'm just saying give Mayo a legit shot.

      Am looking forward to the season being over.  Yankees are taking full advantage of the O’s ineptitude - as they should.   Team is so inept offensively and does not seem fixable.  Bad combo of too many players still trying to figure things out. Have no idea what to expect over the next 2 weeks,  but currently they are unwatchable and an overall joyless bunch.   Need new dugout leadership that can help this team unlock its potential,  Hyde is no longer the answer and I think he knows it.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      Mayo actually had a decent at bat in a game where there were so many poor at bats. He fouled off a lot of good pitches , worked a count to 3-2 and was called out on a borderline strike. Yeah, you can say he's lost,, but I think he's finding his confidence up there. He had three pretty good at bats the last time he started and made a very tough play at third base that was almost an out, missed the runner by a whisker. I think the kid deserves to play and even if he fails, he cant be much worse that what we are putting out there. Eloy Jimenez and Emmanuel Rivera are NOT in our future plans and not doing much either...you may as well let the kid play and maybe he'll run into a pitch and drill it somewhere.I think the more at bats you give him, the likelier good things will happen. It sure isnt helping us to see him on the bench with Nick Maton.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I expect Kjerstadt to be recalled tomorrow which will help with the depth even if it just to pinch hit.  Tonight we sent Slater up to pinch hit for O’Hearn then they countered with a pitching change but we didn’t have another left handed pinch hitter to counter them.  Hyde did a great job using his depth and pinch hitting early in the year but he had actual hitters on the bench.  He could pinch hit Urias, Kjerstadt, Hayes, O’Hearn, Stowers, Norby in certain situations.  Now his choices are Soto, Maton, McCann, Mayo, Jimenez  or Slater.  Injuries and trades have not only hurt the starting lineup but the depth of the bench.   I am pretty sure if you told Elias that he would lose Westburg, Mountcastle, Mateo, Kjerstadt, and Urias along with Holliday and Mayo completely falling flat he holds on to Hayes, Norby and Stowers.  How bad is our injury luck been this year?  If Westburg gets hit and breaks his hand two days earlier I believe Norby is still on the team but he broke it two days after the deadline.
