Buck Showalter has taken recently to mentioning the lists shared inside the Orioles organization that detail not only pitchers’ innings and pitch counts but also how the club can spread their work out over the season’s final month.
After Monday’s 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field, the Orioles have 24 games remaining. And while the focus of the last few weeks will be on forming a foundation for the team’s rebuild, and using the innings available to evaluate how certain players fit therein, there’s nothing to indicate that there won’t be a patchwork approach through September.
