Jake was just depressed because he wasn't called up after his good games in Norfolk. Emotionally stable that one. We thought we'd get him back on track.

I'm honestly irked that Jake is getting yet another chance after showing no desire to fix his issues.

How many different pitches are we going to see in his 3 inning start?

It is curious that they skipped Britton's start in Norfolk and they aren't calling him up.

They were probably waiting to see if Arrieta was needed in relief today. I have a feeling he will be optioned after tomorrow's game no matter what to add more depth to the bullpen or for Britton on Tuesday. Plus this allows them to leave Gausman in Norfolk.

Can't think of an Oriole pitcher that aggravates me more when watching him. Not even Strop.

Really? As Buck would say. Jake gives up 15 runs in his last two games at AAA and now they are going to start him vs the Tigers. It doesn't have a good sound to it.

If he pitches really well I wonder if he's packaged in a trade with Strop. It could be the two guys with tremendous arms and upside who become emotionally undone when pitching.

Figure them out and win a prize!

The only way this makes any sense to me is that the team isn't sure if Hammel will be able to start on Tuesday. Therefore, they need to hold Britton in reserve for Tuesday. They could have demoted Arietta and called up Britton to make the start tomorrow, but then there wouldn't have been anyone left to start in place of Hammel on Tuesday.

I sure hope this is the reasoning, anyway. They can't honestly believe that Arietta is the best person for the 5th starter job right now.

      Lost in the cut play was that HJ got no help from Holliday who hesitated as if he had to cover the bag (he's not a 2b yet).   HJ made a poor throw but Holliday has to be in the correct position for the cut-not running and expecting the RF to pick him up.  Palmer thought they had a play at second but with Holliday hesitating and not lined up he would have to catch the ball then set and then throw against his momentum which isn't easy.  Not excusing the poor throw but the execution of the throw is a lot easier if the first cut in lined up correctly and not still moving.

      Grayson command (at least to me) is unusually poor for an elite starter.  He often gets away with it because his stuff is so darn nasty.  Even last night, Grayson got 14 swing and misses. all that being said, I do wonder if Grayson was tipping his pitches again (it was speculated in 1H23).  Because the Angels got such high EVs on a variety of different pitch types, and not just sitting on one specific pitch.

      I like how you credit Elias and Company for developing Grayson but forget that Hall showed little progress under their development. I don't see how you can look at what they have accomplished with hitters and think, hey, let's also try and give them credit for a pitcher that Dan's team selected. Is what they've accomplished with hitters not enough to warrant a thread praising them? The post would be a lot stronger without trying to shoehorn in the pitcher.

      5 turns along Grayson sits 5th in 4-seam fastball velo among SP, lagging... Hunter Greene, 2019 TJ Jared Jones, a survivor like him, so far doing exciting things Jordan HIcks, 2019 TJ Dylan Cease, 2014 TJ Grayson got to 3000 game pitches in 2023; Jared Jones' 2022-2023 looks like 2050 and 2067 pitches according to Fangraphs.

      None of this equals having great command. He gave up 2 runs over 6 innings in his prior start vs Minnesota. Fits the qualifiers mentioned in your post - he did not have great command.

      Agreed.  It is the whole organization.  Hyde for me also does not get enough credit. But the first hire was the most important, Elias and the first person he hired was Sig.  I also think we will see a huge impact from the International Scouting Director in the next 2-3 years.  It is just unreal that if a baseball fan could pick any team today to be a fan of for the next 5-10 years they would almost have to pick the Orioles.
