Last 9 starts 3.17 ERA

We are seriously overrating our prospects. I'm fairly certain when Detroit called them and said we'll give you Skubal for Norby and Stowers, Elias just said nah, we're going with Rogers from Miami. Lo

How many guys did well in 2021 and are out of the majors in 2024?

That's a lifetime ago in professional sports.

This trade isn't betting on a return to 2021.

Certainly not. I'd say the trade is betting that his last 9 starts are more instructive than his first 9 starts. Or really, that he is more like his April, June, and July starts than his May starts.

He's 26 and in 2021 he struck out 155 in 133 innings (2.55 ERA , 1.15 WHIP).  That is his upside and he is entering the prime of his career.

Age basically doesn't matter for pitchers before around 30.  Injury history and usage patterns are far more indicative.  You get pitchers ranging from journeymen to hall of famers that figured it out anywhere from 19 to 29

Some of these comments actually made me laugh. We simply can not continue to run out Albert suarez, Cade povich and the other rookie who just debuted. 
 

 

2 things can be true:

  • We definitely needed an upgrade over Suarez/Povich/McDermott/Irvin for the rotation
  • Rogers isn't an exciting acquisition, and we overpaid in prospect capital for a back of the rotation arm with velocity issues even though he should be better than the guys listed above (hopefully)

So, is this guy better than Dean Kremer?  If so, why?   Seriously,  I'd like to know.  I don't follow the league like I did when I was young and have to admit I never heard of this guy before this week.  And  I like Dean as a major league pitcher.   Think he is pretty decent with flashes of upside like his last start.  Why do we want Rogers over Dean in the playoff rotation?

The two years of control absolutely played a big role here. Both in terms of value for Mike Elias and the return for the Marlins.

He cost more than I thought he would but I'm fine with this.  We are in a much better position the rest of the season and for next year in the rotation and I have to think our FO thinks they can get more out of Rogers.

OF depth is suddenly looking a little thin though.

I'm not so sure he's better than Dean Kremer. Kremer is a #4/#5. So is Rogers. To me, it was more important to get Eflin to push guys like Kremer further to the back of the rotation. Rogers was acquired to push Suarez into the bullpen.

Could Elias also be looking at the Flaherty deal from last year? Didn't work out for the O's in a short sample size. But they targeted the right guy.

I think this helps the O's more in the regular season than the playoffs, for the reasons you have here. But I do wonder if they see some potential value with Rogers in the pen, if it comes to that. If he outperforms Kremer as a starter, great. Let him be the #3 or #4 starter in the playoffs. But if Rogers treads water, could we see an uptick in velocity from him out of the 'pen for the playoffs, and also giving them another lefty option?

Elias is really in a lose-lose situation here.  He can pay what the market has established is the going rate for a starter or he can do nothing. People will bitch either way. You would think he traded Holliday for Trevor Rogers.

      O’s look done

      By HardlyRocked · Posted

      One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander.

      True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.

      One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.

      It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch their young guys enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season.

      O's .300 hitters

      The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.

      He was good in the pen last year. He had a 7.71 ERA in the pen this year and an 8.08 ERA overall the last 3 months.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      In 2008, the MLB average was .264.  Today it’s .244.   It’s very tough to hit .300 these days.  in 2008 there were 41 players with 400 PA who hit .300.  Right now the 41st player with 350 PA (lowered since there’s still 12ish games to play) is batting .273.    Maybe some part of that is offenses deemphasizing BA.   The bigger part, IMO, is that pitching just keeps getting harder and harder to hit.
