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.

Hopefully his next 4-6 starts will be the defining ones

Of course this Tigers lineup is beatable.  After all, we beat them 2 out of the 6 times we played them this year.

This is why we gave up alot first him. Would like to see 7-8 starts from him in this postseason.

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.

He didn't carry us?  He pitched 8 innings of 1-run ball.  And newsflash - if he'd pitched 8 shutout innings, we very possibly would have still lost.  Was he supposed to also hit a home run to tie the game? 

Talking about the starter not carrying us when he pitched 8 and we lost 1-0 is a wild take.

And Burnes tied for 2nd in MLB with 23 quality starts — link

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
