Yovani Gallardo

(4-3)

5.47 (1.65/.289)

51K / 39BB, 10HR

QS: 2

</b>

Gallardo has thrown two sub-4/6+ starts over the last three now, but his ERA still see-saws in the mid to upper 5's due to inconsistency. This weak Oakland team is a good chance to put up another one, but he has not fared well in five starts against the A's going 0-4 with a bad line. It's not quite as bad at the Coliseum, though.

Ross Detwiler

(0-0)

5.79 (1.50/.188)

3K / 4BB, HR

QS: 0

Detwiler was used out of the bullpen in Cleveland in April, but was acquired by the A's last month and will be called up to make this start. He hasn't been any good in a very long time. Horrible numbers at the Coliseum and not as bad but still bad numbers against the Orioles.

Neal looked very good for the A's and was much better than I expected. Considering he threw 60 pitches in his start back in May and has not thrown more than 39 pitches since then, getting 72 pitches out of him last night with the kind of performance he turned in is more than they could have expected. Miley also pitched well notching his first sub-4/6+ start of his Orioles career, but again, it just wasn't enough. Oakland pitching has really turned it on this series and the Orioles really just look tired. They peaked in June and have fallen off the table since then.

I think the way teams are pitching us has a lot to do with that as well. The quality of opponent pitching performances has definitely increased. Like Graveman and then Neal last night, fewer pitches in the middle of the plate while still being able to throw quality pitches for strikes and to get Orioles hitters to chase out of the zone. James Shields was more along the lines of the quality of pitching the offense was seeing in the first half of the year particularly in June. It seems like that month of June was really a delayed shot in the foot because pitchers now seem to have a lot more respect for this lineup and are bringing their A game way more often. Meanwhile, the approach at the plate of the Orioles hitters has not changed and is no longer as effective as it once was and without any other way to score runs, this could be bad for this team.

It doesn't help that the Orioles are a whopping eight games under .500 on the road at 24-32. Toronto is 31-25 on the road which is why they will probably win the division. It is hard for me to buy into this team getting to the playoffs when they can't win on the road and the offense has been pretty bad since the four game sweep at the hands of the M's at the beginning of July. That's a bit too long to be just a slump IMO.

The Orioles are now down 2-0 in this four game series with the A's and have lost four of six and three of four. Sure, they can win at home, but Toronto can win at home and on the road and that's why they have been breathing down the necks of the Orioles for awhile now and are 19-11 over the last 30 games which is best in the majors tied with the Cubs and are 12-8 in the last 20 second only to the scorching hot Cubs. The Orioles are 16-14 over the last 30 and 10-10 over the last 20. If this continues, it's going to be difficult for the Orioles to make it playing at or near .500 baseball for extended periods of time like this. Any gains they make at home get pissed away on the road effectively cancelling it out and it is concerning IMO.

Detwiler is going to have to remember how he pitched in 2012 if he wants to win here and Gallardo has his only two sub-4/6+ starts of the season in his last three starts. If Detwiler can make quality pitches, Gallardo may have to be perfect.

With Boston's win, they now claw themselves back to within 1.5 games of the division lead with both Toronto and Baltimore losing their games. It took 15 innings, but someone did eventually win the DET/SEA game. The Tigers took the lead in the top of the 15th on a solo homer from Victor Martinez off of Miranda, then the M's tied it up in the bottom half after a walk and a single setting up an RBI single from Seager and a game winning sac fly from Mike Zunino all off of K-Rod. Seattle has won five in a row and Texas has won four in a row, but the M's are now 2.5 games out of the WC and Houston pulls to four games beating the Twins 7-5. Boston now holds the second WC spot with Detroit's loss who are now a game back. The Tigers have lost three in a row.

    • Coby Mayo is 22 years old, started the year in AAA, and currently is running a 1.043 OPS. At the same age, Cowser started the season in Aberdeen, where he had a .795 OPS. At the same age, Kjerstad wasn’t playing because of the myocarditis, so it’s not really fair to compare on that basis. However this year, Kjerstad’s OPS is 1.176, which is higher, but you have to remember that Kjerstad is 3 years older. In my opinion, having seen them both in Norfolk numerous times, Mayo is also better at third than Kjerstad is at RF. With respect to rankings, as SG said, everyone has Mayo in the top 30. That is not true for Kjerstad, and was not true for Cowser. I hope they all succeed, but Mayo is different. IMO, he’s the type of player you make room for.
    • Cool thread idea. I agree with Mateo here - that was such a great little display of what he brings. He really got his money's worth for that leadoff walk, and kudos to Adley for making those 2 stolen bases count. 
    • Right, way to stake a claim in your first games in a number of years.  Hes just seized that opportunity and so far won't even give them the chance to think about the next guy, really impressive.
    • I'm going to assume your "short rehab" includes the possibility he'll return to the O's without rehab at all.  If that's the case, our predictions of the outcomes are extremely close. With regard to the use of the word "guise" I'm not suggesting that he's not hurt, but the fact he is means the Orioles have an excellent excuse (and one that is probably more palatable to Hays) to keep him in the minors for a reset.
    • Obviously, he's gonna come down to earth eventually, but I like the way he looks on the mound. He has a solid, stable, balanced delivery.  Shintaro Fujinami, by contrast, always seemed precariously balanced on one leg, as if he could fall off to one side or the other at any moment. I also like the way he works up in the strike zone with the four-seam fastball and consistently is at 94 – 95 when he does. He's also getting good movement on his breaking stuff. It's nice to see him have some success, even if it ends up being fleeting, this late in his career. 
    • This thread is to call out players for whatever reason. Can include obvious heroic performances (the Cedric and Westburg walkoffs) but also random high effort or baseball IQ plays that don't stand out in the box score. I'll start with one from last night's game. April 22, Orioles 4-2 Win @LAA Several great choices from this game, including Kimbrel's K of Trout with the bases loaded to close the game, and the strong start by journeyman Suarez. However, my game ball goes to Mateo. In the 3rd, he fought to 3-2 and took a tough pitch off the plate for a leadoff walk, then stole second and third. Trailing 1-0, the Angels elected to play the infield in, resulting in Adley muscling a soft liner just over the drawn in defense. Without stealing second and third, we likely end up with nothing. So not only did Mateo's speed get himself into scoring position, he also produced a RISP hit for Adley and a run for himself.  
    • You can definitely make the case that this is a precursor to Holliday going down because you replace one left-handed bat with another. You can make the case against it, too, but it's a theory.  It's still a bit weird though since the guy Kjerstad effects most is (seemingly) Mountcastle, not Holliday. But I get what you're saying.
