vs.

(QS=0)Eduardo Rodriguez (2016 Debut)

Kevin Gausman: Gausman has allowed nine earned over his last three starts totaling 16.2 IP including four home runs with three coming in his last one. He has done a fantastic job at keeping walks to a minimum though with only nine total in 41.2 innings. He has done well at home this season and against Boston for his career, but it seems like he has entered his first rough stretch of the season. The only question now is how long will it last?

Eduardo Rodriguez: Rodriguez will make his first start of the season here against his former team due to a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the first two months of the season. E-Rod pitched to a 3.85 (1.29/.255) in 121.2 innings last season as a rookie in 21 starts and at least should be able to do better than that this season. Rodriguez has dominated the Orioles in two starts at Camden Yards, but got hammered in his only start against them at Fenway. Fortunately for him, this one is at the Yards.

Steven Wright was very tough on the Orioles today as very few balls were hit hard off of him and Boston's offense never let up. To sum it up, the Orioles never had a chance in this game and Wright goes the distance for the third time this month which is huge for Boston after going into extras with Toronto yesterday. Boston looks to be a great deal better than the Orioles which could mean a very bad outcome to this series.

Gausman is in the middle of a rough stretch having allowed four runs in two of the last three including three home runs in the last game and four overall in those three starts. The only question now is how long will KG remain in this funk? He pitches well at home this season and against Boston for his career, so that's good at least. E-Rod has made two starts against the Orioles at Camden Yards and was practically untouchable with a microscopic ERA and BAA, but six walks in 11.1 innings. Rodriguez will be making his first start of the season, so he'll be pumped I'm sure. This one really could go either way.

In the division, Toronto and NY are playing and the Jays are up 3-0 in the top of the fifth with Marco Estrada on the hill who has a sharp 2.76 (1.06) in 58.2 innings this season which is far better than Stroman has done. Cleveland is down big to Texas in the late innings and KC/TB are just about to get underway. The White Sox dropped their seventh in a row to the Mets as they lost 1-0 and got only two hits off starter Matt Harvey and were blanked for two innings by the Mets bullpen. Quintana pitched well too, but it wasn't enough. Detroit plays the Angels in about a half hour and with a win tonight, KC can move two games into first place with their fourth straight win. The Rays have lost seven of 10 and really struggling lately. In the West, all teams will have won if Texas closes out Cleveland and, of course, the Angels play later. There is currently a three way tie for third place with Houston and Oakland having won three in a row and the Angels having lost two in a row with all three teams being seven games off the division leading Rangers (if they win) who will be up on Seattle by a half game and will have won three in a row and seven of 10.

    • It's pretty hard to say definitively that the bolded is true.  It might be, but there's also the loss in ability you have to account for.  30 year olds are slower than 26 year olds too.  Maybe their game knowledge and practice have made it so they can overcome the meager loss in bat speed/athleticism over that time span.  But the picture is a bit muddy.   I also don't think the aging issue is limited to people in their mid-late 30s.  Bat speed peaks at like 24 or 25 based on the data we have right now on it, and after 31 starts falling off fairly fast.  Obviously this is population data and individuals are likely to see different curves.   But outside of the stars that have a lot of ability to lose, it's becoming pretty clear that once you hit your early 30s it's pretty hard to maintain your skills without all the "help" that is extensively tested for.   I think that even for early-30s players teams are much more willing to drop them over giving them expensive market-rate deals, especially since they can abuse young talent so readily.
    • After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website. 
    • If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?
    • I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year. 
    • Damn I wish I was that guy
    • Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc
