The Orioles announced they’ve released left-hander Andrew Suárez from his minor league deal. The 31-year-old had been pitching for Triple-A Norfolk.
Suárez, not to be confused with Baltimore righty Albert Suaáez, had been working out of the bullpen in Triple-A. He surrendered 11 runs (nine earned) through 13 2/3 innings. He fanned 12 against five walks with a roughly average 44.2% ground-ball percentage.
A former second-round pick of the Giants, Súarez started 29 games for San Francisco back in 2018. He turned in a 4.49 ERA over 160 1/3 innings in what has been his most productive MLB work. The Miami product saw scattered action over the next two seasons before making the jump to Korea in 2021. He parlayed a strong year with the KBO’s LG Twins into an opportunity in Japan, but Suárez didn’t find the same level of success for the Yakult Swallows of NPB.
The Cardinals brought Suárez back to the affiliated ranks on a minor league deal a year ago. St. Louis selected his contract shortly after the All-Star Break and used him in low-leverage relief during the season’s second half. He tossed 27 2/3 innings across 13 appearances, struggling to a 7.16 ERA. Suárez’s 13.1% strikeout rate and 11.5% walk percentage were each well worse than average. His ability to work multiple innings and career 4.35 ERA at the Triple-A level could nevertheless get him another minor league opportunity as a free agent.

Amazing year for the National League’s pitchers named Suarez. Ranger should be the Cy Young award winner if the season ended today. Robert might be the fireman award.

That’s like an old ESPN stat. “Here are the stats for NL pitchers named Suarez. Booyakasha”

Albert Suarez (Robert’s brother) has pitched pretty well in the AL as well. 3 starts and a few relief appearances for 23 IP and a 1.96 ERA.

Stephen Hawking said there really is no need to explain or worry about the state of the universe prior to the Big Bang. The universe can just ping-pong between the bookends of the beginning of time and the end of time and be just groovy.

Why should I trust Stephen Hawking when it comes to the universe? I’m too old and he’s too dead to molest me.
Ignorant Son-of-a-b
@YouHave Wow I have never heard that sort of allegation leveled against him; probably because he was a quadra-palegic and couldn’t even molest himself if he tried. But I am no Hawking expert.

Dude was flying to Epstein Island like Trump and the Clintons. He wasn’t always so limited by ALS not even when he received his spot as the Lucasian Chair.

Well Epstein liked to be around smart people, not just perverts. It made him feel like somebody.

No worries. It is just a brief history of time.

Colorado Rockies have just won seven games in a row. If the universe is big enough and lasts long enough, I guess anything and everything will happen.
