RHP Adam Wainwright (3-11, 8.19) vs. LHP John Means (2023 Debut)
BSM // KMOX
(and Bally Sports Southeast/Southwest Extra)Apparently the decision has been made to let Waino ride that bronc until either him or that hoss drops.
Just looked up Flaherty for the Orioles. 6 starts and an ERA over 7.
His career may be pretty much done. He’d better have a backup plan unless he’s saved every penny…
For home games, they will sell more tickets when Waino is going for 199 (and 200) than if Joe Prospect was starting. At this point, winning the games and preparing for the future are secondary to $ and ensuring they don’t disrespect a team legend.
Stealing an old line, they will finish in last place with him or without him…
Wainwright OPS against by month:
May .919
June 1.059
July .955
August 1.053
Sept (one start) 1.233To help put that into context, Shohei Ohtani is the MLB OPS leader this season at 1.066. When I think about Ohtani-level results on average from every hitter Wainwright faces, I am surprised his ERA is so “low”.
The only way Wainwright gets to 200 wins is if they “Manufacture” two wins for him. And time is running out for that as well. They have a BIG lead in the 4th so they bring Waino in for a couple of innings and he qualifies for the win.
Then again, time is running out period……
After all Waino has done for the club, at this point they sort of owe it to him to see if somehow he can get a couple more Ws. But if we were a contenda and he had those same numbers, all sentiment would be out the window.
