I will not be getting a HYDE!!! bobblehead. I do know a guy that'll pay a pretty penny for one.

Slide you have 100% lost your mind!

Last year's sweeper-throwing Burnes was an Ace with a capital A. This one is a top 10-20 starter. Nothing more. Take the name off the jersey.

Yeah alright, gonna watch this and draft in peace,, can’t deal with this madness!

Just my feed or is everyone else's audio slightly off?

My bad. I brought up the sweeper news the other day. Hes taken it and run with it.

[JoyinMudville]

After his first five starts in 2023 he had a 4.55 ERA.

 

He ended up with 18 wins and 3.39 ERA

Y'all are acting like I said he's Irvin. He's still a good pitcher. He's just not a hard-lock ace anymore.

[BaltBird 24]

See if the offense can have a little bit better go round 2nd time thru.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Orioles still down 1-0 in the 3rd.

[BSLChrisStoner]

2 on, 2 out. OHearn up.

[BaltBird 24]

Keep sleeping on O'Hearn, 20

[BSLChrisStoner]

OHearn ties the game at 1.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

O'Hearn comes through again.

[BaltBird 24]

Cowser scorched one. Not much else hit hard so far but they're found some holes and tied it.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Mullins homered. Os lead.

Some are about the same, but he's not demonstrably better than any imo, at least this current iteration where he's basically a 1 pitch wonder.

You can't be serious.

I'm very serious. Look at the numbers and not the names.

So through 5 innings Burnes' stat line:

 

1 run

2 hits plus 3walks so WHIP is 1.00

5 Ks.

 

Pretty ace like to me.

Against one of the worst 1-9 lineups in the sport. Also, 3 walks is bad.

Stripling has a good line too against a much better lineup. Is he an ace too?

Look, once again, I think Burnes is a good pitcher. A very good pitcher. But he's not that dominant, you-have-no-chance guy when he's only throwing two pitches. This is not some sort of terrible insult. Saying a guy is a good #2 isn't the same as saying they're Cole Irvin.

[BaltBird 24]

Hopefully Burnes can have a quick 6th and get to the 7th.

Offense not getting many well struck balls on Stripling.
