Miguel Gonzalez is a cold killer.
Miguel Gonzalez is a Yankee killer. ;) I was there to witness it.

And to think that so many people here at OH (and in other places) thought that he should be the one left out of the rotation and start in the pen. Does anyone still think so? I never did and I still don't.

I think if there were any big game I would be happy to hand the ball to Gonzo. He has done so many times. The guy rises to the occasion, and is so underappreciated. We needed this 7 IP from him tonight because of bullpen, and he delivered. This is not lost on Buck, if not on the OH haters.

I never did. He's my favorite out of the starters (at least until Gausman breaks into the rotation).

He was really good. And Gausman and Bud have been bad.

The splitter/changeup is the key for him. He didn't have it the first game but it was working beautifully tonight. Classic Miguel. Always seems to raise his game for the Yankees. It would have been a tragedy to send him to the bullpen or Norfolk.

It is surprising how quickly our excess of strong pitching has evaporated.

I don't know. Tillman is what he is. He will keep us in games but is not going to be that dominant #1. Chen too. Ubaldo was terrific. Gonzo has been great. Only guy I am worried about right now is Bud, and Wilson, Johnson, and Gamboa are a phone call away. I am OK with where we are with our rotation.

To me the bigger issue right now is bullpen. We don't have anyone other than Britton who can be trusted in any matchup. Gausman should be that guy but for some reason he is has not gotten good results.

Agree with this. I'm not TOO worried though due to having seen glimpses of Brach and O'day pitching strongly so far this season. I never really like Hunter in any high leverage situation.

Horrible FB command today. Hung in there though.

Yep, hung in there nicely given how bad his FB command was. They showed on the postgame, that Gonzo decreased the percentage of FB's he normally throws, and increased the percentage of breaking balls (the one pitch he had decent command of today). Now that's how to make adjustments when you don't have your best stuff.

Todays game is why I think Gonzo is at least our #2 starter. He really did not have a good fastball or command of it. But he easily has the best pitchability of anyone on this staff, and he hangs in there and gets it done. When he is on his game he is lights out. When he is not, he hangs tough.

      And Ramon Urias as well. Urias might eventually get squeezed out or turn into a backup, but he's been a vital part the last few years while we've been waiting on prospects to make their way up the farm system.

      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By Frobby · Posted

      I’ll now answer my own question.  Even though these three players are theoretically equivalent from a run differential standpoint, I would not want the player who’s -10 on defense.  That’s because I believe that poor defense bothers pitchers, causes them to try to do too much, and demoralizes them.  So maybe the fielder isn’t “responsible” in a WAR calculation when the rattled pitcher serves up gopher ball or walks the next guy after a poor defensive play, but there’s cause and effect there IMO.  So, give me someone who plays at least decent defense.   And, I think the Orioles feel the same way.

      Really!? It's called baseball? Thanks for letting me know!   They are going to lose more games than they win when the starting pitcher has a sucky night. They can't score ten runs a night. The thread is about discussing Grayson Rodriquez's pitching. Just saying his performance doesn't really matter is incorrect and an uninteresting take.

      Exactly. If you go down a list of the leaderboards of velo leaders and note all their injuries, there’s a lot of them. But if you instead just take a list of all 30+ year old pitchers and sort it however you like, I don’t expect it’s going to look all that different.

      Aram loves the pitch metrics on Povich and McDermott. Was effusive in his spring podcast going through Os top prospects.

      Let’s also give the org credit for the O’Hearn pickup.  He was part of last night’s lineup.  For that matter, they picked up Mateo too.

      Thank you.  Not sure how easy for someone who may have been doing it for years and someone who’s been talented enough to make it work.   Someone posted a video of Freddie Freeman and Holliday to show similarities but, to me, it just showed how different their lead foot was.  Freeman’s was closed and perfectly in line and parallel to his back foot.  Hollidays foot pointed out and the foot towards 2B position.  I questioned it.  Other guys, who admittedly know more, said it was no problem.  Again, he might be able to become a HOF with those mechanics.  I’ve just never seen a good ML hitter hit that way. From that early January thread “I guess it depends on your definition of “step in the bucket”.  His stride foot definitely doesn’t go straight.  Pretty easy to see where his foot is in relation to the batters box and how much further away it is when it lands.  It doesn’t seem to affect him negatively though.  Interestingly enough, Freeman’s stride foot goes perfectly straight.” Edited January 6 by RZNJ
