I heard on the radio that Luzardo's fastball was down 3MPH last night and he stated after the game that his back was bothering him. The way he's performed and the injury risk, concern me.

And the elbow injury last year, right? Yeah, no thanks.

He was on the IL for elbow issues this year. Maybe he was last year too, but definitely this year. Either way, I agree, no thanks.

Rodon has had two bad/blow up starts (one against us and one on Sat night against the Red Sox) in his last ELEVEN. 9 of those 11 starts were quality starts. Of those 9 quality starts, he actually (himself) not the team, won 8 of those games.

I know it's 2024 and pitcher wins are discounted. But that is still uber impressive to me. To have 9 out of 11 games be quality starts is ace like IMO.

So yes I would rather have the guy with 9 out of 11 quality starts as opposed to the guy with ZERO, the guy with FOUR, and the guy (who albeit was hurt for some of that time) has THREE.

Rodon has more quality starts in that stretch than all 3 COMBINED. Of course, I know the counter argument could be that he has just been lucky and his peripherals aren't as good as he has pitched. For me, I would love for our guys to get that "lucky" consistently.

The main reason Suarez and Irvin don’t have mire QS is because Hyde often pulls them in the 6th. Both have a lower ERA than Rodon.

Oh that's the reason. I wonder why Hyde does that? Please feel free to share.

A bullpen budget option:

Fernando Cruz (CIN, Age 34, 2029 FA)

  • 3.69 ERA
  • 15.6 K/9
  • 3.67 K/BB
  • 86 P Run Value
  • 100 Off speed run value
  • 100 Whiff% and K Rate
  • 41 %ile Exit Velo

Look like a ceiling version of what we were hoping from Fuji.

I'd love Crochet, but looking at it realistically he pitched 54 innings in 2021, missed 2022 and most of 2023 with TJS and then got shelved after 12 IP last year with a shoulder issue. If you want to leverage your investment, you do the responsible thing and manage his arm appropriately, he's never started before this season, either. Crochet would likely be an investment for the next two years more so than leading a rotation into October in 2024.

The CWS are monitoring him, keeping him on 5 days rest, etc, and have said multiple times they don't know when he's going to hit the wall this year but they are preparing for it. You can't just pencil him for 200 IP this year without substantial risk.

I have no interest in Robert Jr. due to injury concerns that happen far too often with him.

I agree that Crochet is high risk and will cost a lot.   That’s why Elias won’t pay the price.  But, he’s high reward too and I was originally responding to “Why would we/anyone want Crochet?”.

Why is Cincy looking to trade him?   All of these N.L. teams are going to be in the WC race.

Got the Luis Robert Jr./Garrett Crochet blockbuster trade idea dusted off yet?

I don’t want Crochet

Id move Kjerstad, Bradfield, Hays/Mullins (for roster/salary purposes) and a Max Wagner type guy for Robert.

They are under .500 with four teams ahead of them in the WC. Fangraphs gives them 20% chance of making the playoffs (admittedly, I was expecting to see lower). Is that enough to make them buyers?

Not @Aristotelian but I think he is sharing some possibilities if those teams decide to sell before the deadline.

Then let’s discuss him when Cincy is a little further than 1 game out of a WC spot.

      Who is the greatest living baseball player?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think if you are going to ignore PED issues, Bonds probably held the title of greatest living ball player long before Willie Mays died.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent.

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

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.
