I couldnt be happier with the way hes picthed tonight. One more? Id be thrilled.Much more compact with his delivery and mostly in or near the strike zone.Im hoping this is the re-invention again....but who really knows with this guy.

Yep. Get him through a few more outs. Take him out before he has to face Papi again.

That's what I meant, he slid past and lost contact. His hand came well off the bag.

I didn't see that but looked clean enough to me that he's not going to get called out more often than not. He didn't kick out his legs or grab at the fielder which have gotten the calls I have seen this year.

Machado made a similar slide in a game against the White Sox. The ruling was the same as tonight.

So instead of accusing him of poor baserunning maybe we should credit him for knowing exactly how close to the lone he can go on the rule without stepping over.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      This seems to be happening quite frequently around the league. Which makes me rethink the idea of giving players early extensions in their young careers. Baseball is a difficult game and no season in a player's career is exactly like another.  Baseball is a volatile game. There's so many things that can happen to a player's habits and mechanics that can change his results in the game. (Speaking of no season being the same, how many batting stances did we see Cal Ripken Jr go through over the course of his career? ALOT.)

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      No. And having said that, Basallo is not known for his defense as a catcher either. He's known as a power hitter. Adley is by far the better catcher. Basallo has been compared to Yordan Alvarez of the Astros. Great hitter. He's in the lineup for his bat and you just hope he can play adequate defense. Any expectations of him usurping Rutschman as an every day catcher is wishful thinking. He could still develop as a catcher because he's young, in which case he could become something like the Royals' Salvador Perez. But I would in no circumstances trade Basallof for Chrochet.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By rudyrooster · Posted

      If it turns out that Bradish is done for the season or has to spend extended time on IL,  might the O's make the move to sign Trevor Bauer?  He's pitching very well in the Mexican League.  Wouldn't surprise me to see some team sign him between now and the trade deadline.  Just askin...

      I wouldn't put it past the O's offense to carry them in a similar way. But I wouldn't want to count on it, either.  (For reference on the difference, looks like Texas scored 5.71 runs/game during the postseason last year. The O's are at 5.07 runs/game this season.)

      Totally 💯 agree with you . The problem is agents like Boras are asking 8-10 years deals with pitchers opt-outs sprinkling in them .

      I'm hoping the PRP injection wasn't just buying Bradish a few months only delaying the inevitable Tommy John surgery. If Bradish ends up going under the knife there's a decent chance we won't see him again until 2026. Bradish was throwing really hard tonight so I'm hoping it's just some soreness from overexerting himself and he'll be fine with a little time off. This isn't encouraging and Elias is going to be busy working the phones for pitching help the next 45 days.

      Thats why its nuts to sign a pitcher for 8-10 years...they break, all of them, eventually...
