Seth Smith 1/1

Robinson Cano 0/1

Nathan Karns: In his last start against the Orioles, Karns threw six shutout innings and allowed only one hit and two walks while striking out seven which happens to be his only start at Camden Yards. Karns has been especially solid over his last four starts as he has gone at least six innings and allowed three runs or less in all of them with only two home runs allowed over that span. He has struggled a bit with walks though walking three batters in two of those games. The M's offense has scored four or more runs in all but two of his starts and have scored six or more runs in four of them ans as a result, they have won five of the seven games Karns has started.

The Orioles get the better of the M's in game two, but Seattle missed a lot of opportunities and gifted the Orioles at least one run. Tillman wasn't great and probably should have gotten hit a lot harder, but he comes away with yet another quality start and gets the win. Trumbo and Wieters both took advantage of some bad pitches from Walker and had good games. The Orioles snap the two game skid with the win tonight and will play the finale at lunch time tomorrow.

Karns has been very good for Seattle especially over the last four starts, but continues to struggle a bit with walks. His only start at Camden Yards was an absolute gem and has done well against the Orioles in four starts, but has been hurt with the long ball. Wilson has had two very good starts in a row and has pitched well at home so far this season. I think this one is a bit of a toss up.

Elsewhere, the Rays have won three in a row now and sit five games back and David Price pitches well for the second time in four starts as Boston is up 5-2 going into the ninth which would snap KC's three game winning streak and split the doubleheader. Meanwhile, Toronto's offense continues to not produce and has dropped five in a row sliding to seven back. Chicago's division lead is evaporating in the Central as they have now dropped four in a row while Cleveland, KC and even Detroit are closing in with Cleveland in position to pull within three with a win tonight. Oakland has won four in a row also while Texas has lost three in a row and Seattle is currently treading water at the moment sitting a game up in the West.

      Aram loves the pitch metrics on Povich and McDermott. Was effusive in his spring podcast going through Os top prospects.

      Yesterday's Lineup - Thank You Mike Elias and Sig Mejdal

      Let’s also give the org credit for the O’Hearn pickup.  He was part of last night’s lineup.  For that matter, they picked up Mateo too.

      Thank you.  Not sure how easy for someone who may have been doing it for years and someone who’s been talented enough to make it work.   Someone posted a video of Freddie Freeman and Holliday to show similarities but, to me, it just showed how different their lead foot was.  Freeman’s was closed and perfectly in line and parallel to his back foot.  Hollidays foot pointed out and the foot towards 2B position.  I questioned it.  Other guys, who admittedly know more, said it was no problem.  Again, he might be able to become a HOF with those mechanics.  I’ve just never seen a good ML hitter hit that way. From that early January thread “I guess it depends on your definition of “step in the bucket”.  His stride foot definitely doesn’t go straight.  Pretty easy to see where his foot is in relation to the batters box and how much further away it is when it lands.  It doesn’t seem to affect him negatively though.  Interestingly enough, Freeman’s stride foot goes perfectly straight.” Edited January 6 by RZNJ

      Cade Povich 2024

      He allowed only one batted ball over 95 MPH, commanding his cutter particularly well in this one. I think the cutter is the most critical pitch for Povich to take the next step. He’s never had issues getting punch outs, he needs to be able to pitch in the zone without relying too much on his fastball. It’s also a key weapon against RHP - if you don’t have a true plus breaking ball or fastball that can overcome the platoon splits (which I don’t think Povich does), you can only make it as a LHP SP through the strength of your cutter and changeup, which are more reverse/neutral splits.  His changeup is probably not good enough to carry him on its own, so it’s the cutter that brings the whole pitch mix together.

      Agree he steps in the bucket. In theory should be a relatively easy fix.

      His back or shoulder might give out first. Hardly any talented pitcher retires without some sort of serious injury recorded.
