The Orioles trades Trey McGough as part of the deal for Jimenez. He has been lights out as a left-handed reliever this year in AAA.

His stuff doesn't overwhelm you when you watch him but he's been pretty dang effective. I would feel much better about him coming up than Selby.

I bet Elias didn’t even ask if they would take waiver fodder guys instead of McGough.

He hasn't pitched since Thursday, and his last outing before that was on 8/10. I'd consider that fresh for a middle reliever. It only takes a minute to look up on milb.com rather than laughing at some

I'm sure Selby and his career 8.67 ERA in 27 major league innings and his 5.52 ERA in Triple-A between three organizations will be an absolute game changer for the Orioles bullpen. He's mostly a

Pretty sure Elias was driving through an Amish village in Lancaster, PA when he saw Selby throwing rocks against a barn and signed him.  He clearly had his best stuff in his debut last night. The

I bet the WS would have taken a 19 or 20 year old pitching prospect.  McGough pretty was waiver wire fodder but got better as soon as he got to Chicago-what happens to a lot of our pitching prospects.

Ok, and now the bullpen fracas starts. Can’t throw Smith or Cano. Gotta be Perez. But it seems they are gonna let Suarez try to finish the inning. Unlike last time, Suarez IS gettin a bit wild. Last time, he gave no indication he was tired, and should have stayed in. Today, he should have come out, and I’m saying this before the outcome of the Wong AB.

 

Edit: and Suarez gets the K. Good for him.  The signs were the signs, but I’m glad it worked out.

I wonder how transparent the org is with Povich on a planned 1-day gig.    Did he know before the game?

Hyde pregame talked about the last 40 games being 40 day to day scenarios, especially outside the top 7 pitchers on the roster.

Of course he knew. If it was performance based he would still be on orioles.

Because Elias obviously sucks at his job? The second guessing around here is out of control.

We got a bat, a 4th OF, a backup SS, and cash. We're not going to get all that for nothing.

My tongue was firmly in cheek on that response.

I assume we’d all rather have McGough up than Selby. But we weren’t going to get Jimenez for some bum like Selby, so…here we are, with Jimenez and Selby instead of McGough.

Oh sorry about that. It's really hard to detect irony these days when the board is like 90% frustration bordering on hysteria.

Yep and probably goes down now for fresh arm since we only have 6 guys that can pitch and Akin probably not available.  

Would love to see them get creative and send Rogers down if you need a fresh arm. If you’re gonna trust Selby in a close game like that, keep him up here. Otherwise just keep the status quo for now.

As for who would start in his place later this week: Brandon Young.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
