Hyde just named Cole Irvin to start.  Orioles will have to make a 40 man roster move.

That was really a given once he was scratched from Norfolk tonight.  Hopefully can give us 4 innings or so tomorrow then try to piece it together with Tate,  Selby and Soto.

Kimbrel is on a roll. 😉

Big Cole Irvin fan here.  I'm going to take the position that he was unjustly targeted for demotion and this is his opportunity for redemption.  Narrative is everything when every MLB team thinks they can lose their way into the post season - with good reason.

He’s not as bad as he was pitching before his DFA. He’s also not as good as he was at the beginning of the year. But he is capable of going on a roll. Something Trevor Rogers hasn’t done in years. We could really use a boost.

Irvin had an ERA of 7.16 in June and July.  There was nothing unjust about his demotion.

Then it's an automatic loss, sorry. Hyde must be trying to get out of town early tomorrow.

Nick Avila has allowed 10 earned runs in an inning and a third in Norfolk, I'm thinking his spot on the 40 man is toast.

Maybe we can trade him to Braves and take a flyer on this young arm from the DSL.

He is striking out 2 per inning over since pitching in pro ball and given up just 2 hits.  He can be bit wild though in his 3 innings so far he has walked 28 guys hit 4 batters and thrown 35 wild pitches and given up 20 runs.  So he might need some adjustments.

    • So I’ve been puzzling why the defending international League/AAA Champion Norfolk Tides (90-59 in the 2023 regular season) have struggled so much this year (66-78 with a week to play).   Is it the fact that most of last year’s top hitters are either out of the organization or spending large chunks of time in the majors?   Maybe a little, but that’s not the main reason.   Simply put, last year the Tides allowed the fewest runs in the league (0.64 runs/game below league average), and this year they’re allowing the most runs/game in the league (0.43 runs/game above league average).   That’s 1.07 runs per game worse than last year, relative to the league average. Even then, it’s a little hard to pin down. The Tides have principally relied on six starters who’ve made 107 starts, and five of the six have been solid to above average.  The only exception has been Justin Arbrueater, who leads the team with 25 starts and 112 IP, but has a brutal 7.75 ERA.  The other five sit between 3.32 and 4.34, in a league where 4.84 ERA is average.   Interestingly, the major league starters who’ve pitched rehab games did terribly there for the most last. Means 6 starts at 8.68 ERA, Kremer 3 starts at 11.42, Bradish 2 starts at 5.40.   Lots of other guys who made 2-4 starts did poorly.   Bullpen guys who’ve been particularly bad at include Kade Stroud (7.11 ERA in 35 games), Nick Vespi (7.36 in 27 games), Wandisson Charles (8.42 in 25 games, and Kaleb Ort (12.08 in 14 games).   Carlos Tavera pitched a mix of starts and relief appearances to a 7.47 ERA. Overall, it’s been a tough year for the Tides staff even though several starting pitchers had solid seasons.    
    • Or an opener. Or bulk pitcher after opener.   GRod, Suarez, dean each get one time through order but with quick hook.
    • Playoff rotation is Burnes, Eflin, Kremer and Suarez. Grayson is a high leverage reliever, perhaps even the closer.
    • Henderson has a 1.139 OPS in September, after two unexciting but not terrible months, following an MVP-level first half. He is having literally the best Orioles season since Cal's MVP year in 1991. There've been only three better Oriole seasons from 1970 onwards and they were all from Cal. What were you expecting?
    • I agree. As long as the ankle feels good, I don’t see why you wait. 
    • Agreed, more goofing around with Elias caution.    Honestly if he is solid I wouldn't hate him in the lineup against Snell tonight.   
    • Henderson and Westburg. Are we supposed to think a guy putting up a nine win season isn't exceeding expectations?
