Aug. 31: RHP Adrian Houser agrees to Minor League contract
In the wake of the right forearm contusion suffered by right-hander Dean Kremer on Saturday, the Orioles agreed to a Minor League deal with the 31-year-old Houser, the team announced.

Houser has spent eight seasons in the Majors, with a career 4.21 ERA (101 ERA+). He pitched for the Brewers in 2015 and from 2018-23. Milwaukee dealt him to the Mets last December. In 23 appearances (seven starts) for New York this season, Houser posted a 5.84 ERA before being released on July 31.

A little under the radar move that happened over the holiday weekend. 

Houser has experience starting. Experience in Milwaukee, which our FO has ties with. With Irvin pitching in relief on Sunday, Houser might be in line for a start if Kremer misses his start on Friday.

I doubt that. Irvin is the most likely replacement if Kremer can't go. Povich tonight, Suarez Wednesday, off Thursday, Irvin starts for Kremer.

Personally I was hoping to get a look at Young, but I'm not sure if he's lined up.

More meat for the grinder!

No shame in minor league deals. They're quite literally limping to the finish line when it comes to pitching health.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
