Do we believe Elias that he was our 2nd ranked target behind Eflin on our board?  If so, how much of that was the quantity of the remaining control versus the quality?

I think we just doubled down on the Irvin trade.

Either way, Rogers needs to perform.

Putting any stock into his start tonight, his first day with a new team, a new catcher and not having any time with the pitching coaches is silly. Give him a few turns through the order, then blow you

So you're just completely discounting the possibility that the O's are working on specific things with him and told him to ignore results that first start? I'm not sure why you would knowing what we k

The Trevor Rogers outrage on here is hilarious and over the top.

My question is only one answered longer term.  Elias mentioned and so did Rogers that the staff was making tweaks to his delivery etc.  I want to see progress on throwing strikes and being more effective soon.

I don’t think it’s always easy to tweak a pitcher mid-season.  Unless that pitcher is Jake Arrieta.  We’ll see what in-season improvements Rogers can make, but I think some of what the O’s are preaching may not take hold until 2025.

I agree, so, yes, maybe we will really see it in 2025!  I really hope we see a more efficient pitcher than in the first and second start.  Having him be serviceable would really help us.  Go O's!

Yep me too.. All I see is another Irvin here as well. Not hopeful on this one at all.

My understanding is in 2021 ( his big year ) His velo sat 2 to 3 MPH higher, made his changeup more effective, and the hunt for more velo is an offseason issue. But if GRod makes it back and no other injuries, maybe try him in the BP. Realistically what other avenue to a post season spot does he have?

I don’t think him making the postseason roster is all that important. I think the pickup was more to get us to the finish line and give us better starts than Povich was delivering. If he’s not good enough to make a postseason roster in 2025/26, then that’s an issue.

Did he explain why Rogers was his number two? His performance is mediocre at best and his arm is not as powerful as it was a couple years ago.
i can’t think of a valid reason why Rogers was actually target #2. That’s just not logical unless he REALLY WANTED those two years of control.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By Frobby · Posted

      I have a feeling that Irvin will do better in another organization than he did with us.  It seemed like the O’s were trying to make him into something he wasn’t, chasing higher velo, etc.   Also, I don’t think Brandon Hyde really believed in him.  We’ll see next year.

      O's .300 hitters

      Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!
