its a shame he has no options because he seems like a guy that needs to go to the minors and work on some pitch recognition

It seemed to me that he was doing pretty good at that before. In general, he's been better at that than I expected. One thing I don't know is how much playing regularly helps maintain that. For some guys maybe it doesn't matter, for others maybe it does.

good point. Playing can't hurt, so im rooting for him every time hes out there. Maybe we can go with 4 outfielders. Once Wieters comes up we can probably have him play catcher and one of the other infield positions.

I didn't think Ray looked bad today. Neither hit was hit well. The biggest problem was that Ray threw too good of a pitch on 0-2 and fell behind 2-0 on the next guy. Of course, command is why he needs to go down so I'm fine with sending him out.

I don't want this to be misconstrued as saying I would have left Ray in the game. I thought DT managed the inning correctly. He just doesn't have a LOOGY right now (except his closer ;)).

I'm going to disagree with you about Ray not looking bad. You've been in his corner all year, and that's commendable, but Ray has not looked good just about all year. The movement is not what it was and his location continues to be poor. He's basically throwing the ball right down the middle of the plate and has been all year. The numbers don't lie, he's terrible right now.

He needs to find himself down in the minors.

How was that a single? On GameCast they said it was a pop up and it landed not far from where Jones is placed on the field. Should he have had a play on it or not ? I'm not watching on TV so I can't see for myself ....

Maybe DT wanted to give Ray one final look before deciding to send him down or not?? He should have never put him back out there, I think Ray is a 1 inning guy, not much more than that.

He only pitched 2/3's of an inning in total

I should re-phrase what I said.... I think Ray is good for one run back to the dugout, once he touches the bench he's done for the game. No sending him back out... lol

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By PsychoBird68 · Posted

      Talking about hollering before your hurt...LOL...our bullpen is tied for the most wins at 16 and have the most SVO at 33 and they have the 6th best ERA at 3.44 and that's the only reason we are 15 game above 500 and we're 9th in Innings pitched but we do have 9 losses as a bullpen but that could be a lot worse considering we only have 3 guys that has pitched consistent which is why Hyde has a short leash but I'm sure if he left some of those middle relievers in longer and we lost 8 or 10 more of them SVO you all would at least think he was managing the bullpen correctly.... SMH.....

      Over the 35.33 innings of his last six starts, Dean Kremer has given up only 10 earned runs for an ERA of 2.55. In four of those starts, he's gone 6 to 6.33 innings.

      Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to see something just like this about Felix.

      Oooooh. Didn't expect that recall. I'm excited to see it! Bruce has been grinding it out a long time in Norfolk. He started the season looking good, and he started 2022 looking good against Major League talent. Can he peform in June 2023 the way that he performed in April 2022? I hope so. I'm here to see it! I like the idea of left handed starters. Because we have none in the rotation and I want to see 2 good ones sprinkled in. I've got my popcorn, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Bruce Zimmerman can do!

      Would you make this trade for Shane Bieber and Jose Ramirez

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Let's start with Ramirez... 1) He'll be 31 in September 2) He's signed thru 2028 3) There is $105M remaining on his contract for 2024-28, for baseball ages 31-35 (he'll be 36 when the contract ends 4) His power production has dropped dramatically in 2023 despite the fact his FB rate has increased 5) His overall offensive production is the lowest it has been since 2015 (age 22) I think the Indians might be happy to offload this contract if they could find a taker to give them some minimal value for it and they are not in contention. My conclusion: If the Orioles like him for the money over the next 5 years, he might be worth a 3-for-1 exchange of truly unknow prospect potential, but not Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod.  Think 1 of Prieto OR Willems plus 2 more hard throwers from Delmarva.  I would be seriously concerned about how a contract like Ramirez' would constrain the Orioles from signing Rutschman or Henderson to the sort of extension that will make them career Orioles.  Just like in football, where fans are tossing out 2nd round draft picks like they were party favors, I really dislike trading any top 100 prospect and certainly not one that comes with a strong possibility for an over-market priced contract. Bieber... 1) He's 28 as of 5/31 2) This is his worst season since his rookie year with a depressed K rate, increased BB and over 1 hit/IP, but he's still hanging in with an ERA that is somewhat better than the league average. 3) He's making $10M this season and will have his final year of arbitration prior to 2024, which makes the cost of him with a 1.5 year horizon bearable if you can assume he'll maintain his current 110 ERA+.  In addition, given the short horizon and age, that's a much smaller risk than for Ramirez. 4) This is where ME and his team come in to see if they can identify WHY he's not pitching nearly as well this season in addition to the obvious "Will he put the Orioles over the top?" My conclusion: Bieber may well be sought after, but I wouldn't trade any of Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod for him.  I'd probably be willing to trade either Rom OR Ortiz plus another couple of live arms from the lower minors.  Westburg plus 2 Delmarva arms for both Ramirez and Bieber would be an enormous risk (see Ramirez), but I could get behind it if ME and team have decided he won't be nearly the offensive threat he is now in Camden Yards.
