Innings Pitched - 2024

[kidrock]

Without Looking - Do you know who was second in Innings Pitched?  Pretty incredible.

Suarez? 

I would have been guessing between Kremer and Grayson if I didn't know the result was incredible.

Suarez was third I believe. Unless his innings yesterday pushed him to 2nd.

Yeah Suarez with 133.2.  Just shocking to think back to the beginning of the year.  He definitely gave us some high quality innings.  Very thankful for those

Suarez is definitely this team’s unsung hero.

And when I see projections on the OH for next year's rotation its almost like Suarez does not exist.

Do guys who had a career year at age 34 suddenly find it? Should a GM rely on the 34 y/o repeating his success or try to find a replacement? Does your answer change if this guy is pitching in MLB for the first time in 7 years?

Of course they should bring him back in some capacity, but nobody should be writing his name into the rotation next year. If they do, Elias didn’t do his job.

Case in point.  Almost like he does not exist.

If saying that makes you feel better.

I think Suarez earned the right to make one of the first 5 starts next year while at age 29 McDermott and Young are finishing whatever they need to do so the Orioles can control their age 37 seasons at Arb 2 if they are any good.    

I might be off on the years.

Povich's progress this past month was enticing enough I do think he is closer to Kremer in the 3/4 section of the rotation than a swingman.

Suarez has been so good this year I think it is bad mojo between Elias and his clubhouse if he doesn't get a few turns early.    Clubs using detailed video analysis rigorously to spot mechanics they can fix to unlock this kind of production I also think overrides anything ZiPS or PECOTA or whatever floats your boat there would say about Suarez's demographics.

If we don't sweep but survive, I think Friday is an interesting discussion if you use Povich or Suarez in Yankee Stadium Saturday.

I'm already prepping myself to be outraged if Suarez doesn't win Comeback Player of the Year

You can't come back if you were never there.
