This is just plain piss poor managing from DT and I know he got tossed but he's still calling the shots.

Guts needs to be yanked. There is nothing to be gained from him continuing to pitch.

Guts can't throw his fastball and is staying away from it. Something is wrong...

Does everyone here seriously think they know more than Bancells/Kranny? I'm sure there's some sort of explanation, but if he was out there hurting himself further, I highly doubt they'd leave him out there. Bancells is supposedly one of the best, he isn't an idiot.

I'm not sure Trembley can make changes or not. I thought Kranitz effectively becomes the manager?

Either way, if there is something physically wrong this is on Kranitz, not Trembley.

Trembley can still call the shots from inside the clubhouse. He can relay to Jauss (the fill-in manager) what he wants to do.

Palmer thinks he does, and he has said at least 5 times that there's something wrong with Guthrie.

I think it's pretty obvious that he's not right.

Something is definitely wrong with Guthrie.

I usually watch his starts on MLB gameday to see the location of his pitches: most of them are WAYY high in the zone. Top of the zone, straight as an arrow.

I think there is something wrong with him that is preventing his finding the bottom of the zone, he was one of the few that excelled under Mazzone's tuitilidge, so keeping the ball low in the zone should be a specialty.

DL Guthrie, determine if the problem is medical. He can still be effective if healthy.

Yeah but Kranitz is the pitching coach and Bancells is the head trainer. Those two would likely identify issues with Guthrie before Trembley would.

Does Palmer have to go down to the clubhouse himself?

GET HIM OUT OF THERE! It's not worth the risk to Jeremy

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
