Has anyone been making excuses for Burnes? 

Low pitch counts. Remember the Toronto home game versus Berrios where Burnes came out after like 83 pitches but said they were a “tough 83 pitches”?

That’s really the only excuse he’s made. He also gets McCann catching this game. That helps him the run game and his low strikes. 

I’m hopeful, with McCann over Adley, that we see Burnes unleashed this game and he goes 7.2 IP 2 ER or less. 

This isn’t a negative thread. But this is exactly why we made the trade for Burnes. Playoffs. 

But… this start does define Burnes’ tenure with us. That’s just reality.

All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good.

Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him.

I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

I’m clearly in a bad mood, but I’ll pose this to the group: 2024 Burns was “not quite good enough”. 

at times he was fantastic, but you need an ace to carry you when nobody else will. I hope somebody (Frobby) will remind me of a few times he did that that would impact the results of this season for us. He certainly didn’t fail us tonight, but he didn’t carry us either, and that, to me, might be the story of 2024 Corbin Burnes.

McCann is even worse at framing this season than Adley.

That's just reality.

Burnes has been an ace. He pitched like an ace tonight. We lost a 1-0 game because the bats sucked. It’s that simple. I hope that the O’s sign Burnes this offseason. And I believe that is a real possibility. It is the tough decisions on this offense that will need to be addressed

I would say he carried the team and kept them at 1 run. We couldn’t score a single run? Not even one. Burnes could have gone 9 scoreless and we probably would have lost in the 10th. This offense is just done.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
