  1. He looked like he had his stuff through 4.  5th inning looked different  fastball didn’t pop and off speed wasn’t sharp.  Top 6 first slider wasn’t sharp and then the89  BP fastball.  I think best case scenario is that he all of the sudden felt sick to his stomach, but sure doesn’t seem like that is the case.  

  2. Unreal.  I hate being an orioles fan.  He looked different tonight than other times I’ve watched him.  Hope it’s nothing serious.  Maybe he just doesn’t fee well, he just didn’t the  have same presence about him on mound tonight.

    His pitching motion looks effortless.  Almost looks like he's playing catch.  I'm watching on Milb.  No velocity given.  61 pitches thru 5.  Is today the day he gets to throw 90+ pitches.

    I was curious on velocity as well.  It legit looks like he’s warming up in pen playing catch at slightly over 50% effort.  Almost looks like he’s trying to get contact and go as far in game as possible.  I think they let him go 90 tonight.

    I don't think anyone was buying his 2021 season as the new normal, so I doubt his trade value has really changed since the offseason, the regression was built into the trade value.

    That’s a fair assessment and likely true (re:value not taking a big hit).  I do think he needs to put up some significant numbers if he is going to bring anything back or real value.  If he continues along as a 2-3 WAR player, whose main attribute is speed, I don’t think it nets much of value.  He probably brings more value to Baltimore than he does in a trade.  I think Santander & Mancini will be the ones to go in the next couple months.

    Well it’s actually a weak 4 months although the slugging was good the last few months of 2021.

    Would you trade a top flight Pitcher like Mayer for Mullins?  I don’t think I would.  Especially after the numbers you’ve outlined over the last 4 months.  I think the Mullins trade for top flights prospect boat shipped out last offseason.  He will need to put up some incredible numbers soon to not fall into the one year wonder category.   I don’t see it happening.  He’s a nice player who had an outstanding year, his trade value has taken a massive hit.
