As I said in the DJ Stewart thread, I went to the Shorebirds game tonight intrigued to see Stewart and Ryan Mountcastle. Neither did anything to stand out or inspire hope, so to speak. However, I wanted to ask about tonight's starter Cristian Alvarado. He struck out 8 in 5 innings, including the side in the first. Only 21, signed as a free agent in 2011 so I presume he was an international signing. Stadium radar gun had him in the 87-88 range from what I saw. Anyone seen him and have any thoughts? Could he be someone to watch down the road?

Thought I'd bump this thread, since Cristian doesn't come up hardly ever and I feel a tad bit connected to the guy since I initially asked about him a little over three years ago.  Cristian hasn't sta

His fastball has ticked up substantially in relief and was 93-96 in one look, up from 89-92 as a starter. He’s got a real chance to be at least an up and down arm, maybe middle relief.

He might have thrown harder when I saw him, I only said 87-88 because every time I looked up at the stadium gun that's what it said.

It's probably been mentione before, but any indication of whether the Delmarva gun is fast/slow? What was the opposing starter hitting?

So after striking out just one batter in his first start spanning five innings, Alvarado has now fanned 39 over his last 5 starts covering 26.1 innings. Just 6 walks over his last five outings too. Might have to get down to Delmarva soon to see what this kid is throwing and whether he should be on the prospect radar now.

Thanks. That sounds like good investment of a day.

      O’s cap every game

      By Frobby · Posted

      I must be in the minority.  I pay no attention to what uniforms and caps are worn on a given day.  You could ask me five minutes after the game what caps the team wore, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But I could tell you what happened in the game in vivid detail.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don’t see any kind of “logjam”. That would imply some sort of challenge with having too much talent in one place/spot. What we have is a hodgepodge of mediocre to below average pitchers who are very interchangeable in terms of their talents (or lack there of). Of the pitchers that you mentioned, probably Bradish (who we don’t know about right now coming off the elbow injury) and maybe Suarez (very small sample size) are any good.  The rest …. They can be swapped out for one another and I don’t think any real difference is made. I hope Means can be the John Means of 2021. But the reality is that was a long time ago at this point. I don’t think that it is very probably that he will make it through the season and pitch effectively into October and be healthy the whole time. That’s probably pie in the sky/wishful thinking at this point.

      This question was kind os answered today on BaltimoreBaseball.com.  I seem to recall that the choice was scheduled, Friday was black jersey and O's cap (before the city connect) and Saturday was the orange jersey.  Wondering when they changed to starting pitcher's choice.   https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/2024/04/26/midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often&utm_source=BaltimoreBaseball.com+List&utm_campaign=06dfb0fd98-RSS_MAILCHIMP&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cddc084dff-06dfb0fd98-47594557&mc_cid=06dfb0fd98&mc_eid=f169a521ef

      Most quality major league starter's hold their velocity throughout their starts. They may cruise for a bit, but have it when they want it. Typically command goes long before velocity.

      Do we not want to throw a left hander and take advantage of the spacious left field?

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank goodness a minor league system is not judged on wins and losses, because they are putting many Ws up of late. Delmarva is pretty much an embarrassment right now from the hitting side. The first real wave of international position prospects have been left wanting after the first month or so of the season. The Shorebirds are scoring a league low 2.29 runs per game and slashing a league worse .182/.259/.263/.523. The Tides pitching outside of Povich and McDermott to a lesser extent has been pretty bad minus a few decent relieves in Vespi, Krook and Charles.  Elias/Sig's thought on being able to identify pitching talent through pitch shapes and spin rates through the draft after the 10th round has been a pretty big failure. Armbruster was the flag ship pitcher and he's been a flop this year so far, though I had already seen major red flags from him last year. Not surprisingly these guys struggle at the high levels and why they were available that late. Glad to see Elias made a change in his draft philosophy last year and went after some younger, higher ceiling guys like Forret vs 21-year old juniors in those later rounds.

      Akin currently has a FIP of 1.11. He’s struck out 15 and walked 3 in 10 innings without yielding a homer.  I consider that well.
