Re: IGT 8/20 BAL at Mets - Blue Point Oysters are Better than Blue Crab
Quintana has quietly been superb since mid-June. In 11 starts since June 15, he's 5-3 with a 3.16 ERA and .200 OBA.
If he, Severino and Manaea continue to pitch as well as they have, one wonders what they'll do for next year. They'll have a big backlog should they bring the aforementioned three back.
Senga
Quintana
Severino
Manaea
Peterson
Scott
Maybe Megill (ick)
Maybe Blackburn
Maybe Butto
Vasil
Tidwell
Hamel
Maybe Lucchesi (?)
Etc. etc.
That is A LOT of depth.
I hope they find a way to bring Manaea back, but he has a player option for $13.5 million for 2025 and I can't imagine he'll take that after the way he's pitched this year. He'll likely turn his 2024 performance into a multi-year deal worth a lot more than $13.5 million with somebody.
Just like the offense, which on paper is excellent but took forever to click, the starting pitching took a long time to click this year. But, as evidenced by the list above, it is much better on paper than its performance earlier this year would suggest, and we're starting to see just how good it is post All-Star break.

Quintana was quietly not superb at all last time out. Threw almost as many balls as strikes, 4 ER, 4 walks and 7 hits in 4 innings.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

Quintana's been better but I'm reluctant to give him the benefit of rust he once had with me.
Bigger question-- does Alvarez get drilled? O's are in a bad way right now and probably need handbags at 10 paces

I doubt he'll get drilled if Rutschman is in the lineup.

What's the reason?
Did they change the configuration or heighten the fences? Something else?
Curious.

Living down there you may have read something about that.Orioles lead MLB in HRs (even with Camden Yards no longer being the HR paradise it's been since its inception),

Orioles Park dramatically pushed back and raised the outfield walls following the 2021 season.
They pretty much did the opposite of what the Mets did in left field, making the wall six feet higher and 26 feet further away.

Wow! Thanks. I'm glad they didn't have to push back right field and get rid of Boog's Barbecue place. :)Edgy MD wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 5:10 pm Orioles Park dramatically pushed back and raised the outfield walls following the 2021 season.

They wanted to but realized that moving the RF wall wasn't going to be a tough as moving Boog himself so they left it alone.

Nice effort with the juggling. But that ball has to be caught.
