Two runs allowed and two baserunners erased on the basepaths.
That's OK by Oriole standards.
It sure is

Ellis doing okay so far this game

Hey, did you guys know Dylan Bundy is homer prone?
-
I don't hate trying him in high leverage, but the guy was pretty good for about four innings for a while. I kind of like him in long relief when one of our other starters inevitably implodes
-
.790 isn't bad for a catcher. Besides, it's small sample. Looking at Mullins though, you've got to wonder how many switch hitters would be better served giving it up
-
I like zero homeruns in 25 IP. That always seems to be the Achilles heel of our pitchers

I thought this was the Cody Sedlock 2001 thread. Why aren't we discussing the girl who gave him cooties or the kid who spilled his chocolate milk?

If those grades are real, he sounds like a generational talent
-
I'd like to see him as a long reliever before we cut him, but I'm super done with him in the rotation

I think your plan is decent, but a lot of our prospects will probably underperform even your modest projections. This isn't a knock on the Orioles so much as it is the way prospects are. I don't think it's likely we can get to .500 for $20M. Possible, but pretty unlikely

I don't recall us having more minor league injuries this year than usual. Wouldn't surprise me if we're doing well in that regard.

With him and Mullins we could have the shortest outfield in MLB!

A starter for the O's or for any MLB team? Will the rest of our team be good enough to compete with a SS or 2B that OPS's .700?
Some time ago, Drungo gave a sobering post about OPS and how it typically drops from the high minors to MLB. I'm rooting for Grenier, but I'm not getting my hopes up for someone that OPS's .725 in AA.
There are 13 shortstops that have qualified for the batting title this year with an OPS higher than .700. And Greiner is probably a better defender than a good number of them. He wouldn't be a starting shortstop on any team, but he'd be a starting shortstop on the majority of them.
I do agree it's a pretty big "if" that he can OPS .700 in MLB -
I'm not okay with my team losing for 4-7 years. But the old system needed a massive tear-down and overhaul and that wasn't going to happen much faster. We couldn't just sign a few guys and maintain our win rate for another 5-10 years
-
If Greiner could OPS 0.700 in MLB, he would be a starter for sure

No. 65 is a very high grade. Just not very top of the scale.
What I was asking is when they grade his fastball a 65, they're saying his 50th percentile outcome is an overall above average effective MLB fastball?

Aren't these grades sort of an MLB mid-case?

I hope he backs up Adley at catcher for a lot of years
-
Is it too early to see what he does with the AAA ball?

And he was chosen for the 2019 Futures Game, which... ahem O's... used to be a prestigious honor.
It's all part of DiPlan...

Sure you can look at his overall numbers and take that opinion, but if you did a little detailed research you might have a different conclusion.
Over his last 15 appearances and 14.1 IP, he's pitched to a 2.57 ERA and held batters to a .692 OPS.
His baseball SAVANT numbers shows he has 92 percentile for EV against and 81st percentile for hard hit% which means he doesn't get hit hard. Even though his K rate is not great, he gets a lot of ground balls (58.1%) and has a 90% percentile chase rate.
This is from a guy who missed almost two seasons and had only 32 innings above A ball.
So while you certainly can make any opinion you want about him, he would be one of the Orioles best relievers right now and would be a rookie.
Let's put this another way. What reliever on the team or in AAA would you rather have than him when looking towards the future?
Meanwhile, Isaac Mattson, who Elias choose to protect over him because he acquired him in a trade, has a 10.32 ERA in AAA this year.BTW, even if you want to use his entire season stats to judge him, batters have slashed .247/.348/.357/.705 off his this season with a 3:1 GB/FB ratio.
So yes, I am sad that we lost a cost controlled, 24-year old rookie ground ball getting, weak contact inducing side-armer who should have been protected over multiple players who were actually protected by Elias and his crew.
Oh don't get me wrong, it was definitely incorrect not to protect him. I was just saying it wasn't a big mistake because the results haven't seemed amazing. Your baseball SAVANT numbers are eye-opening and there's reason to believe he might be significantly better than he's showed. I guess we'll see

Well yeah, Zach Pop is a little better than some guys we have in our system, but overall he doesn't look like anything that's hard to find. That could change, but for now it's looking like no big deal

Is McKenna hitting these home runs off premium velocity in AAA? I recall Tony said he has real trouble catching up to Major League fastballs
