So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL

6ip 3H 2K 0BB not a ton of WHIFF and some hard contact.  His 2.43 era is almost a full run below his FIP but regardless is pitching 38% better than league average. The man just does not give

I thought he looked very shaky in the first inning and then he allowed a leadoff single in the 2nd.  I thought he was going to have a short night.   Then he just completely turned it around.  Great job and we needed it.

If anyone had bothered to stop crying after his last start in Houston and paid attention to what happened,  they'd have noticed that he had a disaster of a start to the game and then got it together.

I didn’t even see the Houston game so I have no idea what happened there.  I thought he looked good in the Texas game.  But I didn’t like how he looked in the first today.  It wasn’t just the homer, he just seemed to be missing pretty badly and then having to throw down the middle.  But he got his curve going in the second and that really helped him.

The changeup to get Rooker later on was spectacular.

He'll never dazzle but when you look up he keeps his team in it and rarely has very bad innings...If the Orioles pick up another starter at the deadline...Suarez will be a long man in the pen...I have to say I like him better as a starter...more thane could ask for...really

I think and hope he makes through the rest of the season with us , either as SP or RP

Claims of his demise were premature and inaccurate. 

Dude is a horse. He’s only given up 3 homers all season. 2 versus the A’s. 

Man… we could do a lot worse for a game 3 SP.

Suarez doesn’t get rattled.

And yet you’re going to see people who can’t wait to banish him to the bullpen at the first sight of a struggle because he’s not “a premium talent.”

Maybe it’s just me… but a part of me is like “You gotta dance with the girl you came with.”  Let’s roll with Suarez in Game 3.

Is this parody? You can tell by watching him, he’s not a guy with good stuff. He’s not someone you start in a playoff game. He’s definitely valuable to us this year as someone who’s stayed healthy and can keep you in the game. And against bad offensive teams, he can make them look silly. But, I’d be concerned if he’s our #3 SP in October.

      They traded a fair bit of depth out of the farm after June.

      I mean kinda, but everything you list was known in June and going into the playoffs.  None of that is new.  I hoped for Adley and Gunnar to be 1st half versions of themselves but feared they would not be.  Mayo and Holliday glow was already dimmed.  Etc etc.

      I am concerned by guys like Gunnar.  That crap show he put on for a good three weeks where he threw EVERYTHING away was insane.  That was right at the time of the collapse.  Adley was sucking.  Gunnar was mega sucking.  It all was hell.  And it never got any better.  Gunnar only got like ten home runs in the second half of the season.  The suck was off the charts.

      It's not the exact same reason. Adley and Gunnar have a year of team control gone. Means is gone and Bradish will probably miss the 2025 season. Mayo and Holliday have lost that new prospect glow. The farm system is significantly weaker.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By foxfield · Posted

      Well, it's been 4 decades actually.  And I really can't tell you or anyone else how to be a fan.  But my gut says that if you made it this far, you're gonna be ok.  These last two years have been hard, but they have been pretty special too.  I do not want to return to the dark ages of having the Yankees and Red Sox fans own our stadium and our team.  I know you hurt, we all do.  But you're gonna be fine.  Now the Orioles?  Well, I hope so.  Lol.

      It is but for the exact same reason we were nervous going into the playoffs.  Everything about the team was different after June.  We literally expected win every series and usually did...and then it stopped.  And for awhile we focused on all of the injuries, but then even the people still here at times stunk.   The question is can they get it back.  I think they can, but even if we never know what happened or not, the team needs to figure it out.  And yes, for us...it will be hard to expect something different until we see it.  I mean, if we win 101 games and take the East, I expect many to still be nervous even if we have a MVP, ROY, CY Young all playing for the home team.

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.
