Danny Coulombe was interviewed postgame tonight. He said something interesting in response to a question on the importance of communication. He said each guy knows ahead of time who he’ll be brou

Our terrible horrible unacceptable bullpen currently has the fourth best ERA in MLB (3.32), and has an 0.62 ERA in June.   Offense: 5.17 runs/gane (1st in MLB) Starting pitching: 3.12 ERA (3

Tanner Scott walked 13 in 12 innings in April and he’s been much better since.  Saw him close against the Phils the other night.  Very sharp.  98-99 with a knee buckling slider and command.

Again, by the numbers, he was one of the best 3-5 relievers in baseball last year and he got better as the year went on.  Looks like the same thing this year.  We could do a lot worse.  And he’s a rental so he won’t cost an arm and a leg.   Bradfield and Vespi for Scott.  Something like that.  Do it.

 

In May and June for Scott.

22.1 IP, 10 H, 10 BB, 24 K.   2 runs allowed.

Does that look like Cano?

Excellent points. My only real responses are that 2023 was a career year for Scott. Every other year his walk rate was too high. 
 

Every year is a new year, and there’s little as variable from year to year as relief pitching, so saying he was splendid last year means nothing compared to his career norms.

However, you’re correct about this season. He started poorly and has gotten better.

Still, once burned is twice warned, and I wouldn’t want him back.

How recently were you burned?   He was great last year, especially in the 2nd half.  His first half, overall, has been good and he’s trending in the right direction.  You don’t want him because he ticked you off in 2021?

I’d like to get Hunter Harvey, we don’t need another LHP out of the pen especially once Coulombe gets back 

RH or LH doesn’t really matter.  We need someone who can get outs against both handed batters in the 7-9 innings.

I think it's weird that people will point to his walk rate not not his excellent WHIP. I was a Scott hater to some degree while he was here but I'd welcome him in this bullpen with open arms.

They think about when he was here.  It scares them.

Good heavens, why didn’t you understand that?

When he was with us before he was terrible.you can see his walk rate was never good with us.

I was overjoyed when we traded him to the Marlins, and except for last year,  he was a headache with them too. 

So I am concerned, and with reason, that if we buy him back, he will again be bad with us, so no thanks.

Your logic totally eludes me.    He was excellent last year.  He has been excellent in May and June this year.   He’s not the same pitcher he was in 2022 and before with the Orioles.

I think it is fair to say he has reversion risk. Look at his K/9 and BB/9 compared to last year. I wouldn't hate it but he wouldn't be my first choice and I definitely wouldn't pay a lot for him. Like, say, as much as we paid for Andrew Miller.

Ok, fine. If he’s turned a corner and has found a new path as he hits 30, that’s great. We’ll see what happens.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I don’t either …. Kjerstad and Norby are too much. He a risky acquisition….I think you offer Norby or Stowers as your number 1 with a couple of others …maybe a 20-30 guy and a DSL player or two.

      Dylan Beavers 2024

      By interloper · Posted

      Beavers by month: April: .886 May: .821 June: .599 Hopefully he turns it up in July. I feel like a lot of our position prospects find a way to turn it up at the end of the year. Let's see.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You literally said I showed some skepticism over Basallo and that you pointed out his age and got "shouted down." Neither of which is true statement which is why I gave you the down vote (which I rarely do).  I would hope you would accurately depict what I wrote in the future vs using not just a "too harsh" of an adjective in "skepticism," but using the wrong word at all. If you are going to suggest I said something about a prospect, I just ask that your accurate depict what I said. Your original statement made it sound like I suddenly questioned Basallo after his slow start. I give out information on prospects and sometimes it's to point out their struggles. I pointed out how unbalanced Basallo was early i the season and how he did not look like that last year. That was a true statement. I did not follow that up with questioning him as a prospect or being skeptical of his prospect status. Oh, and BTW, I've given you upvotes of late as well. I don't hold grudges and typically give an upvote shortly after giving a down vote, which I only give when I'm misquoted or the post is against our rules significantly.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Ok.  You don’t know what he’s asking for.  Even more so, you don’t know what he’d accept.     Will another team offer more than Kjerstad, Norby, and McDermott?    Can another team top that?    Doubtful.      Disclaimer:   I don’t think Elias would do this but I believe Crochet is gettable without giving up one of the top 3 prospects.

      By interloper · Posted

      Sheesh. Once again, I do not mean any offense Tony, and this was in no way a personal shot at you. "Skepticism" was I guess not the best choice of noun here. My apologies. And I am not suggesting you weren't aware of his age or upside. Of course not. Nor am I trying to take any credit for pointing out his age. I never said that and I'm not sure how you're taking that from what I wrote.  Just a side note: I feel like I've been getting a lot of downvotes from you lately, and I even tried really hard to explain that I was in the wrong with the Basallo post I referenced, and was right to get a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure where I went wrong of late, but I hope I can get out of the doghouse at some point. I feel like my posts are being written one way and read another way that I'm not intending, so maybe I need to evaluate how I'm wording things.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Thanks for the kudos, all! Last year, at A+, Basallo slugged .688 w/ an OPS of 1.131. At the age of 18.  That OPS put him 5th overall (minimum 50 PA). The names ahead of him (in parenthesis are prospect rankings for 2024): Xavier Isaac (#43 prospect overall) - 19 years old Aaron Palensky - 24 years old Jonathan Clase - 21 years old Agustin Ramirez - 21 years old That's it. Behind him were names like: Drew Gilbert (#39), Wyatt Langford (#6 before season started, 21 y/o), Junior Caminero (#2), Colson Montgomery (#9), Matt Shaw (#40), James Wood (#3), Jett Williams (#31)...I can keep going.  https://milbtracker.com/hitter-stats?levels[0]=A%2B&sort=ops&sort_direction=desc&org=&timeframe=2023&min_walk_percentage=0&max_strike_out_percentage=100&paginate=612
