I’m sure the clear 100% success of the Lopez trade won’t stop the armchair GMs from complaining about whatever trades get made this season. 
 

It’s hard to win a trade more convincingly than Elias won that one.

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.

Can they please have Cano throw something up in the zone occasionally just to keep guys honest?  They sit on everything at the bottom of the zone.  He would be so much more effective if they would just give him something to make guys think.

Cano's 31 holds are second in MLB, behind only Bryan Abreu's 32. Plus 5 saves, and just 3 blown leads across all save/hold chances. So, 36/39 at protecting a lead when asked. 

He's often struggled when not holding a lead. (.655 OPS against in save situations, .764 in non-save situations.)

But I think Yennier's durability and reliability have been worth a lot this year in a struggling pen.

How good was Cano tonight?  Comes in with bases loaded and nobody out in a 2-0 game: strikeout, strikeout, pop up.  Boom, done.  And the two strike three pitches he threw were unhittable.  

1.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP in his last 23 appearances dating back to late June.

I feel like Cano is somewhat underrated on this board. Yes, he is not Bautista but those were very big shoes to fill. His 2.67 ERA is incredibly impressive when you consider he is usually matched up against the middle of the order and/or in big spots like tonight. Whereas, say, Kimbrel is really much worse than his 3.99 when he is either brought in for whatever matchups dictated by the "save rule" or matched up against the bottom of the order when he is struggling. Hopefully he keeps this going and enters the postseason on a nice roll.

Cano seems really untrustworthy at times.  I don't know, I can't really put my finger on it, because it always feels like he's on the edge of a cliff, despite the fact his ERA is pretty good.

 

He has 24 shutdowns and 11 meltdowns, so he's definitely put some fire on some situations.  That's a 69% ratio, which is pretty far from elite territory.

Some of why I feel like the club is confident he's durably good is they went to the Craig Kimbrel extent to make sure everyone in the clubhouse would be cool with Cano not collecting saves during Felix's gap year.    David Robertson doesn't provide a club that in quite the same way.

Bailed O'Hearn out before Seranthony bailed Gunnar out.

He's getting hot at the right time.

Hyder used the pen last night EXACTLY how I have pined for it to be used since Felix went down. YC was nails last night in what might have been his best outing this year. Really good.

How was last night different than the usual?

I almost never talk about Cano here, but I must say, that last night's 3 batter performance is the very definition of clutch. I wont say more because I know that ANY pitcher can be great one day and horrible the next, but man, what a great job he did.He saved the day, is what he did. And while we are at it how about Kremer's performance coming back from that bruised forearm? Hell, we;'ve had GREAT performances from Kremer, Eflin, Povich, and before his last start, Albert too. Ironically, I haven't seen Burnes be really good in about 5 weeks.

One thing I’ve noticed is that whenever Cano gets a little extra rest his pitches have a lot more movement.  He hadn’t pitched since last Saturday when he took the mound last night, and he looked very fresh.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.

      I get the desire to poo-poo analytics and advanced data, etc.  It does get obnoxious hearing about statcast pages in red when guys aren't hitting well.   But more obnoxious are cries of "the old eye test" and "old school" and the other various "yelling at cloud" types of arguments.  If everyone was stuck with the way things were done back in the day, we'd never progress and never advance in any area of life or society.  That includes how we look at and discuss baseball.

      If the above is true, how do you get a team to deliver timely hits, stop pressing, and quite expecting to lose?
