Gray Fenter


Riley Magee

Recommended Posts

Made his Aberdeen debut, coming on in relief.  Had a clean first inning, the second inning he was having trouble throwing his curveball and change-up for strikes.  When he threw his fastball on the plate, it was getting barreled, including a home run.  Curveball and change-up look like they have some serious movement.  Got pulled after 1.2 IP 3H, 3R, 0BB, 1K.

Fenter pitched a nice game yesterday, 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K’s.    Unfortunately, his 3-0 lead was blown by Tim Naughton, who allowed 6 runs in a tidy 0 innings.

He deserved better for his effort.  Unbelievable implosion by Naughton.

I always liked Fenter's arm. Felt he had a shot at being a reliever with his fastball, curveball combo but dropped from the list after a tough year last year. He could end up back on the list though this year with a good year, especially if he can get moved to Frederick and have some success.

Fenter had some command issues today, walking 5 batters, hitting a batter and throwing a wild pitch in 5 innings, but pitched around it, yielding only 1 run and 3 hits while striking out 6.    The tone was set early when Fenter walked the first three batters of the game, then induced a run-scoring DP grounder and struck out the final batter of the inning.   In addition to the 5 free passes and one HBP, a runner also reached via an error.    To allow only one run was fairly miraculous.

His ERA stands at 2.17.

Well it isn't a quality start now is it?

I suppose not, but I’m pretty sure they only pulled him because they are piggybacking Rom off him tonight.   He only threw 61 pitches. 

And yes, I know you were being tongue in cheek.   Just adding a little more info for anyone wondering why he didn’t pitch longer.

Am I allowed to say Fenter pitched a “gem” tonight?   5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K’s.    His ERA is down to 2.09.

 

Nice to see the 0 BBs. Always had a nice arm. Still think there is a reliever profile in there. Would like to see him again this year though.

    • My guy, you are on record saying the season is over after losing Bradish.  If the O's lose this series, it sucks yeah, but it doesn't sink the season. I don't think it's a must win. Is it a must win for the Yankees? If they lose the series, they'll be like a game back of us. 
    • As of today, there are 5teams that i think are definite sellers...the Rockies, Marlins, A's, White Sox and Angels Best relievers amongst those teams: Andrew Nardi: ERA is over 5 but FIP is under 3.  His statcast numbers are solid.  His K rate is over 10 and his BB rate is 2.4.  He was good last year.  Lefty reliever Tanner Scott: We all know about Scott.  His ERA is under 2 now.  The K rate has jumped up to almost 10 but the walk rate is 6.5.  His statcast page is also excellent. Estevez:  LA closer.  Good K rate, great walk rate. xERA 2.66. Statcast page is good in some areas but he also allows a lot of hard hit balls. Luis Garcia:  Very good K rate, solid BB rate.  Statcast numbers aren't bad but like Estevez, he can give up some hard contract.  xERA is over 4 but FIP is 3.58, much better than his actual ERA.  Should see improvement. Kopech:  Has been a favorite of mine but admittingly its based off of what he did as a reliever in 2021 and the idea that getting him here will make a big impact. There isn't much to point to about him outside of his ability to get Ks and miss bats.  Everything else is below average to awful. This would need to be something that the Os see in him that they think they can fix.  He has some of he best stuff in the sport. Obviously we know about Mason Miller.  He is the best of the bunch but I wouldn't pay what it will likely cost to get him.  Erceg is hurt.   As I have talked about before, Nardi would be my target. I think hes the best of the bunch and being left handed is a bonus.  The 5+ ERA he has will hopefully allow the Os to get him cheaper too.    But I would target any of these guys and I believe we need at least 2 new relievers.
    • That's a good point.  However, a counter point could be made that when the Ravens moved to Baltimore a lot of the people were fans of other teams and the NFL combined with the Redskins did EVERYTHING that they could to make Baltimore an extension of the Washington franchise's fanbase. Yet the Ravens were able to overcome that and capture the hearts and minds of the market. They have had it now for almost a quarter century. My point is that in an age/era where fans/customers have more access to entertainment and information than EVER BEFORE, org behavior/excellence matters more than EVER BEFORE. The Phillies didn't always have the type of fanbase that they have now. The Padres didn't always draw the attendance figures that the are now. I would argue the Red Sox are going through the inverse now. They have fallen just a bit. But a few more years of being in mediocrity and they are going to go back to their early 2000's and 90's days. I could be as wrong as two left shoes, but I really feel that org behavior matters. Marketplace interest/engagement/momentum is not random and not solely population driven. STL Cards have a population smaller than ours and a comparable market size and they are always relevant in their market and always a top half payroll. Heck we were top 10 as late as 2017 under the awfulness of Angelos.
    • I think it’s a little more important than any other mid June series. Any series against a team you’re close to in the standings is important, but there’s a lot of games to play. 
    • Is it make or break? No. But is it important? Yes. Obviously, the team doesn't think it's any more important due to the pitching they've lined up for the series. I'll be happy if we win one and ecstatic if we win 2 or 3.
    • An agent should represent the best interests of his clients. The client and his family determine those best interests. I don't like Boras not because I feel he doesn't represent his clients well, but because I think an agent should basically be seen and not heard. In my opinion, Boras sets himself up as if he is a peer - near equal to those he represents. Semi Commissioner. How many other agents have a "press scum" at the winter meetings? Another case in point - this article. It's just Boras being Boras. The above feelings are mine and I don't repesent them as ones you should necessarily agree with so I will not argue their appropriateness. Just getting off my chest. To me Boras and Yankees are equals. Also, in my opinion, our players represented by Boras will extend if they deem the money fair and they see their future playing careers best served in Baltimore and not some bigger money, brighter lights city. I think the Orioles will spend but they will spend, as has been said, intelligently.  We shall see how it plays out. I do think our new ownership changes the potential calculus. So, I root today and don't get too hot and bothered about tomorrow. Just beat the Damn Yankees!
    • Fangraphs' Jon Becker mentions Carlos Estevez as a relief rental along with a few others we've already mentioned here about a zillion times. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-of-the-order-yankees-orioles-race-heats-up-as-deadline-looms/
