vs. RANGERS, 8/04


OFFNY

Recommended Posts

In 2011, the Toronto Blue Jays drafted Joe Musgrove in the 1st round, which netted him a $500,000 signing bonus.

Today, Musgrove toes the rubber against the team that drafted him (and traded him away one year later.)

Musgrove pitched 7 innings of 2-run ball against his former team, walking 1, abd striking out 7.

In fact, for the season, Musgrove has pitched 11.33 innings and ceded only 2 runs, for a 1.59 ERA.

</b>

Miley is a decent addition especially being a lefty starter. He hasn't been all that great this season, but he had his best month in July posting a 3.45 ERA despite a 1-4 record. He has terrible numbers against the Rangers and gets hammered by righties though it could be worse and his numbers at Camden Yards are atrocious.

3.99 (1.26/.228)

54K / 28BB, 10HR

QS: 3

Griffin got off to a great start in April (2.52), but after two May starts, Griffin landed on the DL with shoulder stiffness and had to leave his start against the Tigers as a result. Since returning at the end of June, Griffin has failed to get through six innings a single time in seven starts. He has gone at least five in all but two of them and managed 5.2 IP in his last start which is his best since returning. He finished July with a 5.84 ERA and has allowed a home run in each of those seven starts after allowing only two in the six starts before the DL. Lefties have not been kind to Griffin, but overall has a solid .228 BAA and is even lower with RISP. Walks are a bit of a problem for Griffin with 28 allowed in 67.2 IP and will be the second Rangers starter in this series to make his career debut at Camden Yards.

The Orioles are able to beat Hamels with a three run first, but were unable to tack on any runs. Fortunately, Gausman was out of character and held the Rangers to two runs though he almost lost it in the second inning. It was also a rare non-homer win for the Orioles, so an all around well played game. This could turn out to be a big series with 10 coming up on the road where the Orioles are absolutely dreadful which likely means a lengthy losing streak as well as playoff implications if they complete the sweep. The Orioles will go for the sweep tomorrow.

Griffin hasn't been too bad for Texas this season overall, but has not been able to pitch deep into games since his DL stint in May and June. Despite his struggles, he has still been better than Miley overall though Miley has been pitching better as of late. He is terrible against Texas and at Camden Yards which certainly isn't good.

Toronto is keeping up as they beat the struggling Astros for their seventh loss in the last 10 games, but still only three back of the WC. Boston is starting to make me doubt that they have what it takes this season after last night's collapse. Porcello has allowed one hit, a solo home run, in tonight's game against Seattle while Boston is scoreless. Detroit has won eight in a row and are now tied with Boston for the second WC spot, so a loss tonight would bump them out of that spot. Also, the Twins continue to play well as they slaughtered the Indians 13-5 and will go for the four game sweep tomorrow afternoon. The Twins have scored double digit runs against Cleveland in all three games and have outscored them 35-16. Despite having no shot, the Twins have become a force early on in the second half which has helped Detroit to pull to two games of the lead in the Central.

The Orioles initially were going to have former Ranger Yovani Gallardo start Thursday, but manager Buck Showalter changed his mind. It?s not because Showalter wants Miley?s debut to be in Baltimore.

It?s because Miley allowed just one hit against the Chicago Cubs in a win for the Mariners Saturday and because Miley has made four quality starts in his last five outings. Showalter wants to keep him on turn, and keep him in a rhythm.

?I think having him sit around too long (would be counterproductive),? Showalter said. ?He?s pitching well. Want to keep the ball in his hand.?

    • The Givens - Our infield right now is made up of draft picks and reclamation projects (someone else's draft picks.) Same for outfield. Pitching is light on draft picks and heavy on trades that we developed or reclamation projects save Burnes, Kimbrel, and Irvin. The first five years seem to have gone pretty well developmentally.   My Take - I personally think the question posed in the OP is premature. Besides the regular draft, I'm anxious to see how our new academy and recent entry into the Latin American Market plays out re acquiring and developing talent. To be fair, I don't want to lose sight of 2019 and Elias's starting point. Plus, as noted above, there have been a number of waiver reclamation projects that have been positively developed. Someone else's draft picks if you would. IMO, we are light years from where we were when Elias took over some five years ago. On so many fronts. So, now drafting lower but with near equal Latin American status and a different owner, let's see what the next five years bring. Elias has said he wants a continuous supply of talent. I am anxious to see if he can deliver and the OP raises questions to follow in this regard. TBD 
    • My concern isn’t now as much as it is in the playoffs. I don’t want some pitch to contact version of Burnes out there. Im not saying that will happen and I don’t think it will happen but there have been too many low Ks, low missed bats starts for me early on…I don’t want that to become a trend all season long and into October.
    • Like a few others, you totally and utterly missed the point and your Pollyanna viewpoint is on FULL display when you say the jury is still out on Trimble. Oh well, I can only provide the information for discussion, not change people's minds who's minds are already made up. 
    • Can we get this: C-Adley 1B-Mountcastle 2B-Norby SS-Henderson 3B-Westburg LF-Stowers CF-Cowser RF-Santander DH-O'hearn Batting order can vary
    • Compared to his first couple starts where he K'd everyone he's not missing as many bats but he's also not getting hit hard.  His first 3 starts he had a K rate of 28, but an average EV of 90.3 with a 13 degree LA.  Since then he's had a K rate of 23, but his average EV allowed has dropped to 85.9 with an 8 degree LA.  As a result his xwOBA and xERA are really good.   EV allowed is a weird stat where medium sized samples of 40-100 batted balls is actually more predictive than large samples, but that does make it valuable in looking at splits.   The whiff/K rates are definitely worth taking a look at, but as long as he's not walking anyone and giving up 85 mph grounders and weak flies when he does give up contact, it's definitely not a serious concern.   I also wonder if he's intentionally pitching to contact because he can get away with it, and because he is trying to keep his pitch count manageable rather than give the ball up to our shaky bullpen.
    • I was just referring to Orioles organization pitchers. I'm sure Boddy has successes or he would not have been hired.  Again I'm not saying he's good or bad, but I am a "results matter" guy. Show me the results at the big league level with guys they drafted and developed.  As I stated, I don't know if this is a draft or development issue or a little of both? All I know is we're five drafts in and there are no results from drafting and developing pitchers so far.
    • Can you believe if we can get Jesus to pitch for us?  Ok, just kidding, but if we acquire him, what will our rotation be this year?
