Nestor Aparicio 00:01
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T am 1570 tassel, Baltimore. We are Baltimore positive. We’re getting a Maryland crab cake tour out on the road. We’re gonna be lots and lots of places later on in the month. I’m gonna plug it all here before I bring Luke in. And also want to thank our newest sponsors at GBMC. They have figured out that I am sort of the, am I still middle aged? I think I am. I’m sort of the middle aged guy that, like, needs to go see my primary care provider, not just because my wife says, Have you seen your doctor lately? I’m like, you see enough doctors for five of us, which is true, but GBMC is been my hospital record for a long time. My brother was born there, and they’re coming on. They’re gonna be sponsoring the hotline, Luke, you’re large, right? You’re not medium yet. And yet, I don’t want to insult you by calling you an extra large, because I think I’ve done that in the past,
Luke Jones 00:49
right? I’m a large. I can depending on the sizing. I can do some mediums, but large is my sweet spot I get, I guess.
Nestor Aparicio 00:56
Well, this is the large prize in the pressure luck is a $30,000 prize, as opposed to just $7,777 speaking of sevens, it is our 27th anniversary. We have a new 27th logo that’s about to emerge and sprout, kind of like the San Diego chicken coming out of the egg back at Jack Murphy stadium many years ago. I think I’ve triggered that this is going to be a baseball segment. I mean, I don’t know what Ben McDonald and Kevin Brown are talking about, or poor Jim Palmer, or poor Dave Johnson when they call him in, when Ben McDonald falls out of a chicken coop, or whatever the hell he was doing, he’ll be able to, he’ll billying, as he has been known to do. I was there when he brought the alligator in the bag into clubhouse. So Luke Jones is here, not bringing alligators and by the way, I had a great, great chat with Robbie instantowski, who was a longtime insider in baseball, who was sworn off the job at 50 because he doesn’t want to move around 100 different places. And we talked about, you know, the de evolution of modern athletics and media and covering teams and all of that man when they get to be last place. And you know, Clancy’s up having beers in Philly, and the owners hiding, the woman running the team’s hiding, but had no problem sending out 3% invoice increases this week. I mean, the stories that come to me are about how poorly run the franchise is and how empty the stadium is. And I felt like that’s a little bit of the story with the Ravens. On Thursday, I put the game on. I got off the yoga mat, and I was a little in delay, which I don’t mind being, for the first preseason game, and I put it on, and I was a little taken aback that, like nobody was there, like it’s really, really empty, and I’m thinking to myself, well, it’s summer, and I’m off eating food and doing tastiness and doing all of this stuff and trying to have a good time, you know, before football really begins. But this is just disappointing. And I know you’re like a baseball first guy. I was a baseball first guy in 1973 for sure. I guess I had grown to, you know, 25 years ago, not expect the Orioles to be competitive in August, but this has really been a bummer. And I don’t know where the out for all of this is. And like, there’s going to be a Wayne’s World, do, do, do, and they’re going to go back to go back to last year and win 100 games and just make their pitching better in the off season, to give anybody confidence, because they’re not really hitting the ball either.
Luke Jones 03:28
Yeah. I mean, I think you look at this road trip, and we talked about this in the aftermath of the trade deadline, when you looked at looked at the individuals that were traded, you looked at the state of the roster, we said, I mean, it comes down to the young core. They’ve got to score runs, and then what do they do? Right off the bat? They wasted a beautiful effort from Trevor Rogers at Wrigley Field on that first game, you know, that Friday. And you know that was kind of the story of the road trip, the pitching. Now, they did lose. They did have a game where they give up 13 runs in Philadelphia, where the bullpen just completely melted down. That was actually a close game, until the last three innings, and they just completely melted down. So we understand when you have a bullpen, that even I am needing to look at the roster on a daily basis, to look at who exactly is in the bullpen, when you’re talking about Dietrich ends and Rico Garcia, who was just brought back, who was with the Orioles a few years ago during some of the darker times. Yeah, I don’t know anything about any of this, but I can’t expect it to go well, and that’s the thing. So if you’re looking, if you’re looking at it through the lens of, how does this team win on any given night? Okay, if Trevor Rogers is pitching, then sure that might be the day that they can win two to one, because he continues to be fantastic, and he was in Philadelphia.
Nestor Aparicio 04:46
But another reason to call Michael is a genius, right? We don’t get enough opportunities to
Luke Jones 04:51
do that, right? A reason to say, okay, that deal doesn’t look as bad as it did three months ago, right? I mean, Kyle Stowers is still doing unbelievable things, but, but you. Look at it through that lens, if he’s not on the mound. And you know, Dean Kramer wasn’t, you know, wasn’t good, but wasn’t awful, his last time out, you know? I mean, they’ve, they’ve gotten some okay work here recently from Brandon young. But the point is, when you get to the bullpen, who the heck knows? I mean, you have Keegan Aiken, who has kind of become the de facto closer, which is just in like crazy talk, if someone had told you four months ago that that’s where they would be right now, you know, Cano,
Nestor Aparicio 05:33
no, dude, I told you four months ago as I sit here and I eat my my whipped cream from day 23 of my tastiness tour,
Luke Jones 05:39
what that Keegan Aiken would be their closer. I told you that
Nestor Aparicio 05:44
once they start dealing off all of these guys. I mean, somebody’s going to have to pitch right? I mean, literally, sure, sure whoever’s left is the closer. I would have thought it was Baker, honest to God, because, like, I would have thought he might have been a piece that they wanted on the team next year.
Luke Jones 06:02
Yeah, well, and, but they also they got an attractive draft pick for him, and he’s really struggled since going to Tampa Bay, right? I mean, he’s kind of turned back into the Brian baker that we saw the previous three years. But the point is, if this team’s going to win, when you’re you’re trying to look it out over the course of a series, over the course of a week, over the course of the next month, they have to hit the baseball. There’s no question about it, no ifs ands or buts. I mean, that’s just where it is with the state of this roster, and that part’s been a little underwhelming. Now, Nice win to avoid a sweep in Philadelphia. Was great to see Kobe Mayo hit a big three run homer. You know, of all the the unknowns, and I don’t say this meaning I didn’t know anything about him, but you know, a more casual fan who, let’s face it, is tuned out, tuned out a couple months ago. But of all the new guys that they’ve brought up, Jeremiah Jackson’s actually had some nice moments here. And they’re, I think they’re kind of looking at him, not as like a perfect trade off, but as someone who maybe he could fill the Ramon arist role, you know, next year. Moving forward, you know, you got to see, I mean, more questions about his defense, but he swung the bat pretty well, so that’s been good to see. But
Nestor Aparicio 07:16
Mike Elias were here in the conversation with us. We’d ask him, and he would have a reason for having all of these guys up, right? He’d say, This guy needs to work on this needs to work on that. But he’s he’s got a good slider, he’s got a good off speed, but he’s got, he’s got something that somebody out in the eighth inning over the next month in what amounts to preseason baseball games for us.
Luke Jones 07:43
Yeah. I mean, there’s something. And look, let’s be clear. Of the eight guys that are in their bullpen right now, how many of them are going to be on next year’s bullpen? And I’m not saying next year’s bullpen is going to be fixed, but it’s certainly going to might be none of them, but, but it’s certainly going to be revamped. And that’s the thing, okay, Keegan Aiken, I will still buy that. They’re not just going to cut, you know, cut loose yen your canoe. I think they’re. They’ve seen enough in the past to try to get him back on track. But beyond that, I don’t know. I mean, Batista, he’s got to be healthy, right? Of course, if he’s healthy, that’s a given. But until we hear what’s going on with his shoulder, there’s, you know, there’s a black cloud,
Nestor Aparicio 08:26
right? By the way, we haven’t talked since Grayson Rodriguez went down. We
Luke Jones 08:29
haven’t but, but let me just finish my thought on the on the bullpen, and then we’ll pivot to that, because we i It’s not a small thing. I had touched on that, though, in our in our last conversation, we’ve been talking about it for three months, sure, sure, sure, exactly. But you know, with that bullpen look, not going to sit here and tell you that of the eight guys that they have that they really love, six of them, but, but to your point, with each of those guys, there’s something about their baseline profile to say, Okay, we really like this guy sweeper. We really like this guy’s velocity. We think this guy has a nice pitch mix of elevated fastballs and curveball that’ll mess with the hitter’s eye level. Maybe we can make that into something, if they can come out of late September and say, and I don’t even know who those guys would be, it looked like a week ago. Maybe it was Corbin Martin, and then he completely got shelled in Philly, right? So, but is there one or two guys that you’ll take away, going into the off season and saying, not putting I’m not writing him in pen in my bullpen, but maybe he can be my seventh guy, my eighth guy in the bullpen. He looked good enough in this period that, let’s face it, aren’t exactly heist you’re hoping for rotation, we know, and I’ll lead with Grayson Rodriguez, since you mentioned, it officially out for the year, he is having a debridement procedure that’s removing bone chips or a spur, you know, little deposits in his elbow area. It is not. That they continue to be adamant that it is not related to the UCL. This is a different part of the elbow. And we’ve heard, you know, Jake Arietta, once upon a time, had bone chips removed from his elbow when he was still with the Orioles. So is that going to be the the end all be all in terms of reversing his injury woes? I hope they hope so, but that’s hope at this point, right? And that’s why you can’t pencil in Grayson Rodriguez as your one, two or three if he’s healthy. I’m okay with saying he’s in my starting rotation, but because that’s what kind of pitcher he is when he’s healthy, but you can’t plan on that at this point in time. But the good news with the surgery, the timetable for this, if everything goes well, and if this does clear up the other issues, you know, I’ve talked a lot about the kinetic chain, right elbow, triceps, lat issues over and over, is this something that has caused some of those other things, or at least contributed to some of those other things? Well, we’re going to find out, because they’re, they’re going to remedy that issue, and then we’re going to see what it looks like, right? And we’re going to see what he looks like next spring. But, you know, until you see him healthy. I mean, this is a guy who hasn’t pitched in over a calendar year, right? I mean, so of course, there’s major doubt. So he’s officially out for the year. We kind of knew that. I mean, Mike Elias had alluded to that last week, that that that was on the table, and didn’t say it was official, but sure made it sound like it was inevitable, that that was going to be the outcome for Grayson Rodriguez. So you hope, with the timetable of this, he should be able to get back to throwing long before spring training. And you’re hoping he can be full go for the start of spring training. I think it will be very telling Nestor, if we see the Orioles have him start throwing late two or three weeks late in the spring training. To me, that’s going to be a really bad sign overall for Grayson Rodriguez. So we’ll see you. Hope this is a fix. I’m not convinced that it will be, but certainly it’s an issue that he’s had that they’re correcting, and you hope that it can help him stay healthy by and large, because he’s had, you know, he’s had different parts of his arm and, you know, obviously the lad is, you know, the back of the, you know the back of the shoulder and everything. So, so we’re gonna see but beyond that, Trevor Rogers has continued to be fantastic. Dean Kramer. Kramer continues to take the ball every fifth day. Sagano has taken the ball every fifth day. Cade Povich is back. So, you know, you want to see him have a productive last two months. You know, can, can Cade Povich pitch well enough over these final two months to say he’s the next Dean Kramer? You know, I don’t want to, I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but to say I I would feel okay if he’s my fifth starter. No, no better than that. I don’t want to go crazy here, but I would feel okay about him being a back of the rotation option. And you just said, in an ideal world, Dean Kramer would be there for their five right? I mean, they haven’t been anywhere close to ideal for a long time now. So, so we’re going to see about that. Brandon Young’s getting the ball every fifth day. He’s looked better his last couple times out than he looked before that. But still need to see way more from him. But Kyle Bradish continues to make rehab starts. Tyler wells continues to make rehab starts. So we’re going to see those guys. I mean, a rehab stint is 30 days for a pitcher. I don’t think they’ve changed that here over the last year or two. That’s what it’s been for the longest time. Well, we know there’s no hurry here. There’s no hurry, but at the same time, if all is going well and they are feeling right and they are looking right, of course, you want to get them some time here over the last four or five weeks of the season, once they complete the rehab assignment. So that’s going to be a big one. Bradish, for me is, that’s one of the biggest story lines of the rest of the year, is, can you get Kyle Bradish back on a major league mound, and what does he look like? Because I think, let me be clear, this is not me saying, Oh, well, you’ve got your ACE back for next year. No. But can he look good enough to say, all right, he’s one of my five, right? I would agree,
Nestor Aparicio 14:05
part of winning 101 games next year would be Bradish and Rodriguez being ready to go on opening day, and Rogers looking like this, and money bag spending some money and going
Luke Jones 14:16
and getting one or two pitchers like someone that’s at least a number one or number two, somewhere in that category, and then another Kyle Gibson kind of guy. And I don’t mean Kyle Gibson this year, I mean Kyle Gibson a few years ago, native Aldi. Yeah. I mean, that would be better than that. But, yeah, so, but, but with, with Bradish, you want to at least see, okay, I can’t, I can’t sit here and be unrealistic and say he’s going to be the the pre elbow injury version of Kyle Bradish entirely, but he looked darn good in September, and he’s one of my five. Maybe he will be my one by year’s end. I can’t plan on that, but he’s at least one of my five that I feel good about, because every sign pointed to him being. Healthy and right, and recovered. So that’s what you’re hoping for. Is it going to happen? We’re going to find out. So
Nestor Aparicio 15:06
I want these guys to be as strong as they can be for Valentine’s Day, right? I mean, you know that’s that’s really where the measurement is get in the Valentine’s Day. And be ready to ramp up to give us whatever. 160 180 204 innings that we can get next year to try to win a pennant.
Luke Jones 15:27
Yeah. I mean, if, right now, and look, I have no idea, because we’re he’s still only a couple starts into his rehab assignment, but right now, if you, if you could get me, if I could sign up for Kyle Bradish, giving them 150 not even 200 but 150 innings. I’d be thrilled with that, because I’m assuming that’s going to be maybe not the guy who finished fourth and Cy Young voting a couple years ago, but I’m guessing that’s going to be top half of the rotation stuff right there, right whether he’s the one, the two, the three, in terms of performance of whoever they might sign. But let’s put an era with a three in front of it, not a 533, and a half, something like that, right? Exactly so. But you just touched on it, and this also applies for the rest of the team as well. Look, I’m hoping that with especially with the money that they’ve saved, with dealing off the assets they did that they did at the trade deadline. I’m hoping they’re going to go out there and spend money. I’m going to be realistic in my expectations. But that doesn’t mean that my expectations are whatever the floor would be, right? But no matter how much they spend, practically speaking, and even if you’re on the higher end of that, let’s say, let’s say they’re willing to take the payroll to 185 million, which would be a very large jump from where it is right now, with the guys that they’ve traded away at the deadline, even with that, even if they hit a couple triples and home runs in terms of signings, compared to Tyler O’Neill and You know, Andrew Kittredge, who was hurt the first two and a half months or two months of the season, O’Neill’s hurt again. Now, you know, even if we’re going to say that you’ve signed guys and they work out really nicely, Nestor, you and I both know that if this team’s going to get back to a point where they’re contending for the division and being in the playoffs, a lot of that improvement has to come from within. And that’s where we kind of bring it full circle to look at the core, look at the young core position guys. And that’s where, hey, I want to see these guys finish on a high note. And that also, for me, is going to include Samuel basayo coming up and Dylan beavers coming up. I mean, Dylan beavers, especially if O’Neill, who has this wrist issue now, and I get it, if you wait about another week, you can maintain the rookie eligibility for these guys, and what that can mean for rookie of the year and getting a draft pick. I understand all that, but you look at the state of their outfield right now, you could just make the plain argument that sight unseen, but just knowing what he’s done at triple A, they need Dylan beavers right now. I mean, they need that. I mean, this team is trotting Dylan Carlson out there every day in center field, which, look, I’m fine. Give them a look. Dylan Carlson still a relatively young guy, but he has a sub 600 o, p, s. I mean, he’s not a starting player. He’s not showing any evidence that justifies him as a starter, and now with O’Neill hurt again, you know that they’re playing Jeremiah Jackson in the outfield, right? I mean, Colton cows are who you know, let’s face it, has really struggled at the plate here over the last month plus, but he’s the only established guy where you say, I want him to play every day, because he’s got to figure this out, and he’s too talented, and he’s got to figure it out, right? He’s got to be better. They need him to be better. But beyond that right now. I mean, Jeremiah Jackson’s like learning how to play right field in the major leagues on the fly. I mean, get Dylan beavers up here, right? I mean, it’s time, let him take his lumps, let beside take his lumps. And, you know, and they’re gonna, hopefully, by second week of September, mid September, you start seeing, hey, that’s the guy that we were seeing at triple A. That’s the guy that you know, in besides those cases, why people have called him a a top 10 or 15 prospect in baseball over the last couple years, this is the guy that even people outside the organization, thinks he could be the Orioles version of your Don Alvarez,
Nestor Aparicio 19:23
right? He gave Mayo Smith bats. He had Homer the other day, you know, making somebody some money in home run riches, yeah.
Luke Jones 19:28
I mean, you know, I’m glad you mentioned mayo. You know, I mentioned in passing that he hit a big three run homer in Philadelphia. We’re going to see Ryan mountcastle activated, right? I mean, he, he actually has swung the bat quite well at Norfolk, and be paying a little bit of a homework assignment for you, or anyone who’s actually still watching the team at this point in time when mount Castle comes back, take a look at his stance. You know some of the clips I’ve seen from Norfolk. You know on their social media, looks like he’s made some changes. I’m interested to hear from him, if he’s made some some some notable adjustments, because we know how. Well, things have gone for him the last year, year and a half. I mean, the powers just evaporated. But
Nestor Aparicio 20:05
that Ryan o’hern was a guy that made adjustments in, you know, obviously Kyle Stowers made adjustments. I
Luke Jones 20:10
mean, Ramon Laura I’m not saying it was necessarily these major adjustments, but Ramon Laureano had his, maybe his best year ever at the plate with the Orioles, but certainly his best year in a few years. So it’s not as though the cupboards completely bare in terms of some of those stories, but you know, you want to see more out of this young core. And you know, in the case of bringing up asaio And beavers, you want to see those guys takes, take their lumps. They’re going to struggle a little bit. We know that, right, but you’re hoping by about mid September, let’s say those guys start showing some signs, like we’re now seeing these last few weeks out of Kobe mayo, right? I mean, Kobe Mayo struggled mightily last year. He struggled mightily early this year. Now that he’s playing regularly, you’re starting to see some signs to say, hey that you know that was a bomb that he hit in Philly the other day. So he’s still gonna have his time where he struggles, and he’s still learning first base. I want to see him continue to play first base. Don’t, don’t just banish Mayo to to the DH spot, because mount Castle’s back continue to give Mayo opportunities at first base. Because you need to figure this out, right? Because you can’t have three or four DHS on your team, right? You gotta have some guys who can give you some defensive value. So there’s still those things to look at, but overall, beyond that, the wins and losses, the standings. You know, it’s this weekend Adam Jones. We’re gonna, you know, they’re gonna celebrate Adam Jones as they should. They’re gonna give away an Adam Jones bobblehead Saturday night. But Sunday, I’m guessing there’s not going to be anyone at the ballpark, you know, this coming week. You know when they’re home. You know during the week, it’s probably not gonna be anyone, anyone at the ballpark. They’re they’re very much at
Nestor Aparicio 21:49
the dude. We didn’t even take a mind would shed over the business side of this. I’ll save that for another day. I just want to say one thing about the pitching and watching all of these guys you’ve never heard of, strike one, not ball. One didn’t mean like that. The biggest issue for me with all of the pitching experiments is who’s throwing strikes, even if you’re getting hit, even if you’re getting hit hard, you can’t be up there. You know, being being below counts and in a position to walk three guys and be an inferno in the seventh inning, you know, no question
Luke Jones 22:25
and very simple. And I’ll leave you with this final thought on the pitching. Trevor Rogers the last couple years, his walk rate going back to 2024 you know. So his last two years with the Marlins, 4.1 per nine inning. Last year was 3.9 per night inning for the Orioles last year, in his four starts, 4.7 walks per nine innings. You know why he’s been fantastic for the Orioles? It hasn’t been that he’s striking out a ton of guys, but you know he’s striking out his decent enough, decent enough amount. He’s walking 2.2 per nine innings. He he’s getting ahead. He’s throwing strikes. He’s not walking the number eight hitter. He’s not walking someone to get to the heart of the order and putting himself in harm’s way. He is limiting the traffic on the basis, although this last start Philadelphia did get there was traffic on the bases, he pitched around it. But the big key for him is that walk rate. He’s cut in half from where it was the last couple years. That is why we’re seeing a Trevor Rogers more in line with the guy he was in Miami his first couple years that had everyone so excited, and why the Orioles wanted to acquire him in the first place, to try to get him back to that point.
Nestor Aparicio 23:32
See, there’s your reason to watch the Orioles right now. Trevor Rogers say, and that’s exactly the way we drew it up that day in Toronto when the season began like which is 30 years ago. Luke is out doing football. I’m wearing my baseball stuff, my thanks to curio for underwriting and talking about our 27th anniversary, where I get to go out and eat tasty things, including what I’ve had here that’s attracted I have the windows open, so it’s sort of like my food tastes so good everybody wants you know, everybody’s into it. So tastiness is the way they’re going to follow along. We’re going to be doing the Maryland crab cake tour with our friends from the Maryland lottery, pressure, lux. We also have the Lucky Seven doublers. And we also have a new hotline here, brought to you by our friends at GBMC. They’ve been my hospital record for a long time. I haven’t talked about it, but you have to start talking about some Men’s Health Care things, because I’m 50 and I turn, I turn 57 in October. That’s kind of hard to believe, but when we’re doing 27 years, and we have the Lucky Seven doublers too, so it’s been a lot of sevens going on here, we’re going to be watching out for our men’s health care stuff. So you see some GBMC stuff around here. We’re gonna be talking about the work they do, bringing some great guests on as well, also our friends at the Y. I did why? Because it’s in the community, that’s why. So we’ll be doing some stuff with the y as well. But in the meantime, Costas Cocos, pizza, John’s, we’re coming fade leaves. We’re coming to all of you. Slime. Show as part of the Maryland crab cake tour later on in the month, it is our 27th anniversary. We have a really cool logo too. We’re gonna leave the light on. He’s Luke. I’m Nestor. We are Baltimore positive. Stay with us. You.
