Much better idea to trade 2-3 guys for them and then have them get hurt.

It is. Plus spend cash on a few good old ones on their 5th TJ.  Get the rest off waivers and the rule 5. Throw in a few 15 year old lottery tickets from Latin America. Investing in young potential future pitching is as much a resource sink as buying a boat—but without getting to use the boat.

This makes no sense. Because there's a lot of attrition, he shouldn't have more of them to choose from?  This is the EXACT reason why Elias should draft more pitching higher. He needs to have mor

Are we really going to get this narrative going again?  There is NO TEAM in baseball that would/could withstand this level of injuries to their pitching. The drafting is not relevant to what is happen

Well there's only one thing left to do.   Win the whole Eflin thing.

What the hell did we do to bring this wraith from the Baseball Gods? This is just absurd at this point!  It's like deliberate targeting at this point.  

The O's have had some pretty good luck in the health department over the past couple of years .  Sadly, the current situation is probably nothing more than regression to the mean.  That said, I hope they get it taken care of once and for all by opening day 2025.

Yep. It’s why last year hurt so much. Everything was in place.  Similar to the Ravens. Hard to have those types of seasons.

Whatever way to you want to look at it, this is just a perfect storm against a boat load of key guys... and very very unlucky.  Plus to complicate matters, we lost Bradish for this year and most of if not all of next year, not to mention Burnes will be gone.

This is the worst our rotation has been since the end of 2022. Watkins, Voth, Bradish, Lyles, Kremer. 

FWiW, Austin Voth currently has a higher WAR than Craig Kimbrel.

Yeah we know, but the Guardians looked like the best team in the AL for much of the season while the Astros and Royals are currently the hottest.  And that's just the AL.  It's not like this Yankee team has been close to their dominant teams of the past, even if they do have two of the 4 or 5 best hitters in the AL.  

The Orioles just have to hang in there for a month or so and see who comes back healthy and effective.

good Take, unfortunately the way this season has been going, I'm thinking webb, maybe Westburg, but the way the cards have been falling, GRod, danny and Eflin? seems implausible.

It's a tough blow.  This team is still a damn good team.  The offense needs to step it up.  

 

And of course somewhere soon the speculation of who is available in the Mexican League.  

I remember Rodrigo Lopez, Andrés Mora, Elrod (and M-Gon, it goes without saying).

What did the Orioles do to get a bad karmic result?

There isn't anything supernatural going on, it's just bad luck.

Take things a little too serious sometimes maybe? Where on the doll did the word Karma touch you?

We currently have 6 guys on the IL that have started games for us this year. Our starting 3B and 2B. Our 2023 AS closer. 2/4 of our top relievers this season. 

It’s been a war of attrition. We’re still in it. We are who we are. We just might have to go to battle with Burnes, Suarez, and Kremer in a 3 game series.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Overall, Hyde is fine. I like him as the manager and I generally think people completely overrate what a manager is and does in today’s game. Most managers have the same in game strategies. The team is winning the last 3 seasons under him and he has pressed a lot of buttons correctly with pinch hitters this season. That said, the pitcher usage can be odd at times. Cano for 2 pitches last night is definitely head scratching. Now, that doesn’t mean we win or anything but I think it at least it increases your chances of winning. But they lost last night because of how much they expanded the zone. They could have scored way more runs in this series but they kept letting opportunities go by. One thing I noticed, especially with someone like OHearn, is almost as if they were trying to guide the ball to the monster. It’s an inviting target and wonder if they sometimes gets in their heads.

      And even with that, the Dodgers had a long stretch of being a 500ish team. They got a little healthier and starting winning more.

      Why do folks always have to cry about payroll? The O's had the top farm in the game, they shouldn't have to resort to the depths they have to find guys that can stand on second base with a glove on their hand. Part of building a team is building depth.  The O's have traded a lot of that position player depth to fill the holes in their pitching staff generated by their draft strategy.

      It’s just the tone of things.  It would be nice if there was video. And btw, I’m not saying this is for sure a sign of anything.  Just asking the question if it is.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Old school “book” said save for closer until you take the lead in extras when on road.  New school “book” says use closer as soon as there is a walk-off scenario in a tie game.  The rationale is that a tie game is higher leverage than a 1-run lead and you may have a lead when the 10th inning comes around. The problem in this scenario is that it wasn’t a choice between having Seranthony pitch the 9th and Cano pitch the 10th or vice versa.  It was either have Cano pitch the 9th or pull him from the game.  And, other than Seranthony being a little better at striking out lefties, there isn’t a huge gap in talent between the pitchers.  We needed 6 outs to win and we were better off having Cano pitch 3 of the outs even if that meant he was put in an ever so slightly higher leverage scenario than Dominguez. Pulling Cano was a mistake. Hyde made it because he was following the “book” but failed to factor in nuances specific to the situation. I can’t really blame him for pitching to O’Neil. Obviously, you walk him if Holliday makes the preceding play.  It’s not idea to walk the bases loaded there and put the winning run on 2nd - it was really pick your poison.

      There's a slight difference of payroll and the ability to overcome injuries there.    LA 238.5M Baltimore 108.5M
