What a ballsy performance by Cano tonight.  Came in with runners on first and third and only one out, sitting on a one-run lead.  Overcame a missed strike three call to the first batter he faced, then

Let's talk a little about about how good Cano has been for the Orioles this year. He was fired up last night in his first true save opportunity this year. Here's his percentiles on the year

But if they had better middle relievers they wouldn't be in some many close games.

Ok, I’m about to pst this in Roy’s thread, but makes sense to share here.

Dump Webb, Ramirez, and Baumann.

Replace with Wells, Suarez, and Povich.

Wells isn’t back for a few more days, so Bradish and Means can come back without requiring an immediate corresponding dump.

Webb has been solid. There is zero chance he is going anywhere any time soon. I doubt they get rid of Baumann either. 

Bradish for Ramirez with Suarez to the pen makes sense. Then Means for Tate or Akin with Irvin to the pen. 

Perez may be back before Wells.

I think the O's need 2 closers.  That's part of the problem.  The O's are just in too many close games to have only 1 closer.  If the O's had 2 closers, Hyde could use the closer that matches up better, instead of it's the 9th, time to bring the closer in.

IMO, the only time a team should have an ordained closer is when they have someone who dominates like Bautista or Miller (although A's smartly are trying to limit his workload).

Nice outing by Cano last night, but I think we’re going to that well a little too often in the early going, just as we did early last year.  15 appearances, 16 IP in the first 28 games.  I worry that the wear and tear will be showing by June 1 at the latest.

I agree.  We've used him 5 times in the past week.  3 of them were for longer than an inning.  Cano has been huge for us, but we need someone else to be able to step into high-leverage 7th or 8th innings other than he and Coulombe.  Hopefully Cionel can be that guy.

He's had his good stuff the last few appearances. Also had a terrific play on a swinging bunt by Stanton (helped out by Stanton's ridiculous speed--Yanks announcers went on about how he was hustling, this is just what he is capable of, etc).

Its one of the byproducts of playing .600+ ball for a month.

Here are AL relievers by games pitched so far (holy cow what is Oakland doing with TJ McFarland!)

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&lg=al&qual=y&type=8&season=2024&month=0&season1=2024&ind=0&stats=rel&sortcol=5&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

CLE - Barlow, Sandlin, Gaddis, Clase

BAL - Cano, Coulombe, Webb, Kimbrel

NYY is leaning on Holmes.

Certainly the next 3 games could shift heavily if Yennier or Holmes gets attrited more quickly.

If SP returns are friendly to the Orioles in the coming months, Elias can really focus on the RP market.    Is it too early Eduardo style to start thinking about what RP rentals he would give up Cade Povich for?     Cade Povich for Ryan Pressly, Cade Povich for Ryan Helsley.    David Bednar with a bunch of years is more.

The reward if you can lock up your division is everyone can go to the spa for September.

Why would we trade a starting pitcher prospect for a reliever?

To record outs efficiently in September and October.

There is no reason to give up a 24 year old, near major league ready, starting pitcher for that. That just leaves a hole that needs to be filled by trading more quality prospects.

I'm not sure why Elias didn't see this coming. Maybe he just couldn't line up on any other deals despite trying, I'm not sure. 

If Perez can get back to form he'll help, but I'm skeptical. Couple of loud outs last night. Good velo though.

McFarland and Mayza both have only 11 innings vs 15 games so they are apparently being used more like LOOGY's. If you sort by innings as well as appearances, I believe Cano is the only guy in the top 10 of both lists. Hm.

Another magnificent defensive play by Cano tonight.  If you're a groundball pitcher, you'd better be able to field your position and Cano is outstanding.   

It's uncommon but not unprecedented for a reliever to win a Gold Glove.  Bobby Shantz won several GGs in the late 50s and early 60s and was mostly a reliever at that point.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.

      I'm talking about the tone.  It's like they are gleeful that Cease is going through a rough patch.

      Mullins is a guy that has very little chance of getting an extension or a large contract from anyone. He makes sense as a 4th outfielder type on a team with a right-handed hitting CF, something the Orioles won't have unless Jud Fabian just completely turns it on.  I have to imagine this will be Mullins last year with the Orioles, which should move Cowser into center opening up left field for Stowers next year.
