FWIW, Rogers xwOBACON is almost exactly the same as Grayson’s, which is slightly worse than league average. He’s getting hammered tonight but that’s not usually the case, it’s more his lack of K’s and whiffs.

It's his first start with a new team ffs. Give him a break, I'm sure he's nervous.

I’d really like to know what Elias saw in Roger’s aside from a small sample size of decent starts. Irvin did the same to start the season. Now look.

And we gave up 2 quality pieces to get him.

And I am not even saying they were a 100% part of the Os future?  But they 100% could have been packaged for another high prospect to get an actual elite pitcher.
 

Instead we have....junk. 

He went for quantity over quality.  And that hardly ever works.

Teams were not real eager to trade the more premium guys.

Of the folks that were traded how many are clearly superior?  You want him to bring Flaherty back?

 

This is a good point. I think people just think we gave up too much given what we got back. Some reviews thought Norby was the best prospect traded.

It was a fair observation. If this is really what we will get from Rogers, I think I would rather still have Norby and Stowers and just insert Irvin back in the rotation.

Yes, I wanted Flaherty back, and I wonder if we could have gotten him for not much more than what we gave up for Rogers.

Rogers can’t get guys out. He doesn’t seem to have a put-out pitch at all.

Seriously did ME make any comments about specifically why he wanted Rogers? 
Not being snarky really want to know.

Rogers can get guys out. I'm not a drama queen who is freaking out about a guy against one of the best contact hitting teams, pitching for the first time to a new catcher, and hasn't even had time with our own pitching coaches. So I'm not going to panic, but I'm a grown up, and I, like the rest of you, have not seen him pitch. The difference is, I'm not basing everything that has happened tonight on how he's going to be going forward.

Fedde? There were other options. Overpaying for a #5 at best just because of control isn’t great.

At some point the 40 man was going to be an issue. Had to move on from some guys.

      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!

      O’s look done

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.

      And the thing is it's not like the Orioles have only been struggling just in September but since about mid June. I'm not sure if Texas or Arizona played like 6 games under 500 as the Orioles have for 3 months but if they did feel free to tell me.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      Yeah it's interesting because we thought the run D would struggle and the pass D would be a strength. The run D has been very solid through 2 games.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I’m going straight positive on his potential and his trend was going up before the trade. Jake Flaherty comes to mind, based on IP maxing out before the trade. But Roger’s is more a deception Povich type lefty.    Believe ME is going on bounce back potential with a full season in. This guy could be a #3. This was a glad you can pitch season for Rogers.   As a #567 SP, will take it. I like Stowers off the plate hit capability and that is missing in this lineup to some degree. will be following this for years, hopefully! Norby too, as a natural hitter. We need contact hitters!
