No excuses!

I know you're easily excited, but get real.  He's not going 120+.

100 is like 120 tho…. Haha. We see a different Burnes today. If only for what he saw Aaron Nola get. $$$$

Also, I don’t see Burnes wanting to hand this ball to Hyde for any reliever in our pen. I think we see OD Burnes with the big time Velo on the cutter.

So, the regular season is in the books for Burnes: 15-9, 194.1 IP (currently 3rd in the AL), 2.92 ERA (4th), 1.096 WHIP (7th), 8.4 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 3.77 K/BB.  22 Quality Starts in 32 starts, and yester

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

Today is the day that we find out whether Burnes was worth the trade. Yes, he's had a very good year overall despite the 5 week time period where he did not pitch all that well, but he was acquired to be the TOR for the playoffs. 

He will set the tone for the playoffs by how he pitches today. A win today takes the pressure off the Orioles after their sweep last year and makes them a very dangerous team.

it’s really kind of crazy to trade two good young players with 6 years of team control for a guy you hope will pitch well in a couple of playoff series at the end of the year, but that’s baseball.   Good luck to Burnes today.  In his two past playoff starts, he had one great outing (6 shutout innings) and one poor outing (4 innings, 4 earned runs, 3 homers).   Russian roulette!

Burnes saw KC twice this year and was just so-so (5.2 IP 2ER, 5.2 IP 3 ER).  The O’s won both games.

The O/U on Burnes outs recorded today is 17.5. I toook the over.

It has been said on here that the decreased K/9 rate is by design.  I think Burnes said that himself earlier this year.

I don't know if I completely believe that.  I don't think many pitchers in 2024 are making a conscious effort to dial back strikeouts. 

That said, I'd like to see big time swing and miss stuff here today.  Like you said, big time velo on the cutter, lots of swings and misses and more than a K per inning.

Don't agree about 120 pitches or 9 innings, because Burnes and the team both know this is the first of many starts if things go well. 

But, this is a lineup that he should carve up, and he's been dealing recently. I expect a strong start and him to outpitch Ragans. 

I think they can be pretty aggressive though, knowing the next round's Game 2 isn't until Monday night if he helps us there.

Burnes on a good enough day I think I would trust more than whatever we can muster in the 7th inning.

Burnes named AL Pitcher of the Month for September.

He is also lined up for games 2 and 5 of the ALDS against the Yankees. Both games would be at Yankee Stadium. Has a chance to make himself an Orioles legend this October in only one season with the club.

If Burnes is so-so and the Orioles win, no one will care. Let's hope he's nails today. We need a TOR start as they are throwing their TOR at us. In a 3-game series, that first game is monumental and we know the Orioles are not exactly know for playing well under pressure so they can't get down 0-1. 

This is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time! :D

This is the third year of this playoff format. Of the 8 series in the first two years, 7 of them were two game sweeps and only one went to a third game.

I don't expect that to hold long-term.

Joey Ortiz beat Adley Rutschman in fWAR this season, hopefully starting a good vibe of Elias getting what he paid for.

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
