Not Bundy's best performance but still was enough to keep them in the game. Definitely deserves better than the support that he's gotten from the offense. And at this point, it would almost be worth it to buy out both Davis and Tillman's contracts with the way they've both played thus far. I haven't watched much this year but I haven't really seen a lot that I have liked. Really wish we had started a rebuild at the end of July last year.
No doubt Bundy is the ace, I don't believe anyone should dispute that. I think that Cobb should've gotten one more start in the minors before being brought up because it sounds like he wasn't ready at all yesterday, so he's still a TBD for me. But Tillman and Gausman have a lot of work to do before they get back to being the talent we've seen before.1. Right now, Bundy is this team's ace, Cashner is the #2 starter, and the rest of the rotation is below replacement level.
2. To be fair, both Davis and Tillman have been extremely unlucky this season so far from the standpoint of BABIP (0.182 vs. a career average of 0.311 for Davis, and 0.408 vs. a career average of 0.285 for Tillman). Then again, you would see several warning signs if you look into their stats more closely:
- It seems that Davis has been getting weaker contact this season so far: Notice the ground ball % relative to fly balls and the career-lowest hard contact %.
- For Tillman, control appears to be an issue: Notice the K/9 and BB/9 rates.
3. Conclusion: The Orioles might as well call up someone from the minors ASAP, because there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying something different at this point.
Another day, another loss. Gausman actually pitched well and the offense scored 5 runs. This time, O'Day was the big contributor to blowing the game.
Is it too early to be anticipating what happens during the trade deadline or the offseason already?The BP strikes again. Currently, O's are one of the worst teams in baseball.
Currently, O's have the 3rd worst winning percentage in MLB. Only the Royals and Reds are worse.
If the losing doesn't stop, soon ... there should be a major shake up coming.
Except the difference is is that they both have competent front offices. Ours is a complete mess and who knows what it'll look like at the end of the season.At some point, you have to wonder if it would make sense to apply the baseball equivalent of the "Suck for Luck" strategy (i.e. just tank the season intentionally and go for the #1 pick).
Granted, it doesn't work quite as well in the MLB since prospects take longer to develop, and the net impact of one good player is smaller than in the NFL-- which means that practically speaking, you'd need to tank not one season, but rather 3-4 or so. But it did work for the Cubs and Astros...
1 beckham will never be a thirdbaseman . 2 wright needs to be dfa 3 sisco needs to play and learn . 4 o day and brach are just bad . elgin is doing great lhp at aaa . we have to much young pitching we lose wright so what .

Buck is on the hot seat, in my opinion -- and I wouldn't be surprised if Angelos sells the team due to being on the short list of owners competing to be the worst team in the Majors.
not worried about cobb . tilly is the weak link .Buck and Dan have to be on the hot seat. Both contracts are up at the end of the year. Cobb hasn't looked good and if he doesn't turn it around its another bad starting pitcher signing for Dan.
