That’s annoying. as an umpire it’s driving me nuts.

Is Martinez not balking every pitch? Have I missed something with a rule change? He literal does not come set and is deceptive towards the hitter every pitch

After the last few years, I couldn’t have dreamed this would be possible. This is also with chourio, weimer and Mitchell being injured/ doing very little. there will be regression from certain players going forward but that will be offset by others getting hot.

sorry if I’m late to the season (I coached 3 little league teams) but has there been talk from management about sending chourio down at all? Looks like he’s hit a brutal stretch

Is this why he wasn’t traded? Unless we sign snell, holding onto him made little sense

Probably showing the team all the breaking balls off the outside corner he used to swing at. I have to imagine that would take 2-3 weeks

this team in 2025 keeps looking better and better. Get the young guys all the experience they need this year!

I’ve advocated for including williams With burnes to Baltimore for some time. It would solve all of Baltimore’s needs and the brewers getting multiple (talent wise) future all stars. If im the orioles ownership I’m jumping all over it. They have been rebuilding for so long in a big market

I think there’s definitely a scenario where we deal Williams, burnes, adames and unload yelich onto some one. Then we have to bulk up payroll to save face and give hader a 1/35 million dollar payday to trade him again at the break. This scenario only exists in my head, but does that not make it real? 😅

Another brewers ace ending his brewers career with injury and providing the franchise no future value with draft picks or minor league talent. we really have to start adopting the rays model of trading these guys at their most valuable.

Burnes, houser and Williams to Baltimore for Rodriguez and multiple top prospects not named Holliday. One of those OF prospects to CHWS for Jimenez. Adames to anyone for mid level prospects. Stock the minor leagues and get ready for 2025!!

I like the idea of an extension and would add options that kick in for 2026&2027 based upon 2025 innings pitched. There is a way this situation can lead to a much higher ceiling team in 2025 and beyond if you are now prompted to deal Williams, burnes and adames. Small payrolls mean you have to take risks on aces like this. If everything falls apart in 2025 that 20 million will have plenty of room in a rebuild.

Well I ignored the playoffs for the most part and I’m glad I did. Being swept by a team that is built for 2025? Lol. five straight years of wondering why we lose with zero offense. This is the definition of ownership being ok with “just good enough”

I think they checked the “we did something” boxes and I honestly question whether management believes we can get into the playoffs, much less win a series. It’s getting really difficult to understand the direction of this franchise as we go from a no hit, all pitch team to (soon) an all hit, no pitch team.

They’d ask for gasser but I’d counter with Mitchell. Oft injured proven player for an oft injured high ceiling as the centerpiece. You could then add lauer, Henry and maybe hiura to free him from purgatory. Eloy should be our top target.
