FWIW, Boomer Esiason said on his radio show that Lopez’ head was in a bad place because of his son’s health and the transplant that Mikael is awaiting. This tracks because I’ve never heard anyone call

Seriously.  I never want to see Heasley pitch again, ever (unless its against us).

Too bad Heasley's numbers in Norfolk haven't translated when it comes to him pitching with the  Orioles. Calling up Povich to start and putting Suarez might be the best move right now until a trade happens.

I think Suárez has earned the right to start. The better the rotation is the less you need the pen.

Two scoreless innings for the bullpen tonight, ending a streak of 9-10 games where they had allowed at least one run.  It helped that Burnes went 7 innings and the pen only needed to cover two.  

With an off day tomorrow, most of the pen will have at least two consecutive days off.  Should be well rested for the Tampa series.

Jorge Lopez reunion? DFA by Mets after glove throwing incident. Seems like a head case but can't be worse than Viera. Had a 2.25 ERA before a string of meltdowns.

Somehow I didn't make the connection, Lopez and Jorge are both really common Spanish names.  Sad to see him in this condition.  I would much rather take a chance on a Lopez reunion than Viera.  Lopez has been very good in the past and Viera has been pretty much like the results that he got the other day.

For better or worse, it doesn't strike me as a Mike Elias move to claim him given the glove-throwing and all the rest.

Elias took a chance on a guy Matt Harvey who sold Opioids to another baseball player.  It seems that what Lopez did was pretty minor compared to that.

Asked about the glove-throwing incident after the game, López said he did not regret throwing it, adding, “I don’t give a [expletive] to anything.” The native Spanish speaker then uttered a comment in English that those present interpreted as either López calling the Mets “the worst team in the whole [expletive] MLB,” or calling himself “the worst teammate in the whole [expletive] MLB.” Asked later in the interview if he indeed meant to call the Mets “the worst team” in baseball, López replied: “Yeah, probably, it looked like.”

 

A clubhouse source later asked López to clarify his comments a second time. According to that source, López said he meant them as a combination of both: the worst teammate on the worst team in the league.

I find this hilarious, but I'm not sure I want this guy back.

He only stated the obvious about the Mets. That’s a clubhouse leader right there. Scherzer and Verlander said the same. 

Bring em back home.

I’ll always be a Jorge Lopez fan and will root for him when it doesn’t negatively impact the Orioles.  He has had to deal with a lot off the field and, as a father myself, I pray for the very best for his son.  
 

Not sure what his mindset is right now but I’d take a flyer on a minor-league deal with him.

This Lopez talk reminds me of last year when someone kept banging the drum to bring back Zach* Britton.  Let’s just be happy we caught lightning in a bottle with Lopez in 2022 and forget about trying to do it twice.

I'm not expecting him to end up with a minor league deal.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      This is a direct quote I copy and pasted from your first post in that thread.   And you’re saying you never said this?  “But I sense we are starting to fade”?   “And that team still didn't win anything.  The playoffs are a different animal.  Right now we are a good team playing above our water line.  But I sense we are starting to fade and again....that is ok.  It is great experience for the coming years. “

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.
