Ehh, they don't seem like the kind of guys to make a knee-jerk reaction based on his appearance last night. I'm sure they've had enough data to suggest he should be the guy to go long before yesterday

The Orioles have plenty of 8th reliever candidates anyways.  Jonathan Heasley (0.60, 0.73 WHIP) and Dillon Tate (3.60, 0.80 WHIP) are on the 40-man while Kade Strowd (3.00, 0.67 WHIP) may have th

Don’t really understand the amount of disrespect Cionel Perez gets here. The guy posts a 1.54 ERA in 2021. He then scuffles a little (maybe a lot) to start last season, but closes the season with

I think most of us were guessing that would not happen.  Is it possible to trade Baumann?  I forget the parameters.  Is it if multiple teams claim him?

 

If he's claimed, and he almost certainly will be, I wish him the best of luck. He may never be more than a replacement level reliever or slightly better, but those guys often stick around a while filling out bullpens. And most minor league pitchers would sign in blood for that.

I am shocked at this. I didn't think Elias would let him go for nothing. I expected an Akin option for now.

Someone check on Elias, make sure he is ok.  Maybe there is an emergency GM temporarily taking his place.

Well, it was either him or Cionel Perez unless they optioned Akin.   I think Baumann has slightly better stuff than Perez but he’s less reliable and he’s not LH.

I think we have three days to trade him while he's on waivers. If we don't trade him and someone claimed him, they get him. If we don't trade him and no one claims him, he can be outrighted off the roster to a minor league affiliate without the ability to refuse as long as he hasn't yet been outrighted in such a way. To the best of my knowledge, he hasn't. The Orioles could also grant him his release and make him a free agent if he clears waivers, but there's basically a zero percent chance that he clears waivers and the O's release him.

If he's claimed, I wish him the best of luck. He may never be more than a replacement level reliever or slightly better, but those guys often stick around a while filling out bullpens. And most minor league pitchers would sign in blood for that.

Zero chance he clears waivers.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I don’t think most of us expected that. Most of us expected Akin to be optioned.

      Side note on Stowers, did someone give him a lifetime supply of Wheaties this year?  His sprint speed went from 27.0 fps in 2022 to 28.4 this year.  I used to wonder if he'd have the range for left field at OPACY but he's kind of gone crazy with the speed training.  He's not the first guy to take a leap on sprint speed so i kind of wonder if the O's are emphasizing this more.

      Os claim Nick Avila

      By Just Regular · Posted

      He's about 1.5 years younger than Dean Kremer, and got his college start with the same San Joaquin Delta Mustangs, but Kremer was a couple years before him there. He is the undisputed minor leagues reliever Wins vulture this decade.

      The top Oriole run differentials of all time

      If the Orioles play the Dodgers in the WS I don't care how much that ticket is, I'm going.

      We should've won it all in 2014!  We just couldn't get the big hits!

      The pitching has been really good. I know we are all basically nervous about the bullpen, the effect of losing Bradish, etc, but man the pitching so far has been outstanding. The offense is great but less surprising to me.

      Dylan Cease at SD

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm glad for Manny that Cease is helping SDP stay in the mix, and rooting for them to get their shot at the Dodgers in the 5-game format. It is just a baseball barstool debate, but would you give Corbin Burnes to get Dylan Cease this week? If it goes bad, Seidler's successors fire Preller and introduce austerity measures for the partners, I still see Dylan Cease as a strong consider to be Burnes' successor on the 2025 Orioles owing to that sweet, sweet 1-year term. One of the better baseball geek observations I've heard about the Padres is they have a poor understanding of what makes a fastball good apart from velocity, and were he acquired I'd have some hope BAL could get a little better overall production out of him than CHW-SDP have.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Yossarian · Posted

      Interesting tid-bit.  I was watching a Jomboy video this evening (Three Things).  He was reading a Redit post by a guy  that identified 5 1-tool players in MLB (they have one tool that is well above average and the other 4 below average).  That's not the interesting point.  In the comments to the Redit post, the same guy lists the 9 5-tool players in the league.   Henderson and Cowser were both identified as 5-tool players.   I found that interesting.   I wonder how Westburg stacks up to Cowser, because I would guess his hit tool is better?
