Scott Feldman Today, 2013

Felt like he couldve pitched the 7th no problem. He was under 100pitches, cruising, with the bottom of the order coming up. Dont really like the extra use of an inning for the bullpen, but cant complain about this first start, especially unfamiliar with your catcher. Awesome job

Good outing! His two-seamer had good sink and he kept out of the middle of the plate for the most part. He flashed a hard-breaking curve for a strikeout pitch.

It is hard not to get excited about how he looked. A 4-ish ERA from his spot in the rotation will have a huge impact.

O's record in games started by Feldman. 1-0 Feldman's record, 0-0.

I don't think the cavalry would have won that ballgame. 5 IP and 4 runs by a starter and the O's lose that ballgame. If the O's could have just melded Feldman's brain and Arrieta's arm we would have an ace.

I didnt think much of the trade at the time, but listening to Buck describe the kind of pitcher Scotty is and how excited Rick and he was to get Scotty to their staff, has me rethinking my thoughts on the trade.

I know that so far he has only made 1 start, but it looked good, and no doubt will have more.

I know most people were glad to see Strop go, it's nice to see he is doing very well for the Cubs.

I've said it a million times, but the fact that he's a ground ball pitcher combined with him pitching in front of the Baltimore infield is HUGE. He only played one year (as a starter) with Beltre in Texas. The rest of his career, he's had to get by with Michael Young and Ian Kinsler.

This is the best defense he's had by far.

    • Not just WS contenders, but most Playoff contenders will be looking for bullpen upgrades as the deadline nears....if we're being honest with ourselves, if 70% of the teams have a shot at the playoffs, and the other 30% only have a handful (combined) of quality arms they might consider dealing, we should expect to have to pay a Kings Ransom to outbid those that are competing with us for the talent.  And, therein lies the problem.....we won't get a fair and reasonable deal by Hangout standards, it will have to be an overpay, or we settle for another Flaherty type.  That's just the reality folks. My point  being, be prepared to be disappointed that we had to give up too much, or we didn't get who we really wanted.
    • He's obviously cooling off some, I don't think anyone believed he would be 1.000+ OPS guy with a .350 BA. Strikeouts are 30% but he did take 3 walks yesterday if memory serves. I've slept since that game.

    • It’s possibly Sunday, one more with Norfolk or with us. We’re discussing that now,” Hyde said
    • I heard Means was POSSIBLE vs A's..but in Baltimore.
    • This probably didn't need its own thread but I didn't really know what existing thread to post it in. I am the only person who has recognized Roch's strange promotion/fascination/affection for Brian McKenna. He mentions him regularly in his blog as a potential call up. Rings the bell about his plus defense and speed and that he'd be a RHH off the bench. He had several blog posts last year about him missing the clinching games, and so on and so forth. It just seems a little weird that a guy who hung on as the 26th man on bad teams and is dropped from the 40 man and clears waivers when the team gets good, keeps coming up in blog posts and would be sought out for opinions and quotes so often. Just seems a little odd to me.    Roch's 4/25 Blog Post   In McKenna’s favor were his speed, defense at every outfield spot and energy in the dugout. A team-first guy and positive clubhouse influence. And he had a strong, vocal supporter in manager Brandon Hyde. But McKenna went 5-for-37 in camp, the numbers mattering more for him than others, and running dry on options didn’t allow him to immediately stay.
