I would be disappointed if GrayRod doesn't start next season in Delmarva. Likely treated like DL Hall this year with a slow and steady ramp up for innings.

That's their goal with him, to make a full season team. I'm just wondering if they'll consider starting a guy like Drew Rom in Delmarva too. He was the other HS pitcher selected with a fairly well developed repitiore of pitches and his GCL success tells me that control isn't really an issue. 

I know Tobias Myers and Hanifee started in Aberdeen. But Myers only pitched 7.2 innings in the GCL and Hanifee didn't pitch at all his draft year.

It’s a different situation than last year, when you had Lowther, Baumann, Hanifee and Bishop all excelling at Aberdeen.    This year’s Aberdeen crop is much less exciting and it’s pretty easy to find room at Delmarva for one or two guys drafted out of high school this year.

Agreed, potential Delmarva rotation is something like Fenter, Knight, GrayRod, Kevin Magee? It's pretty wide open.

Any idea the reason behind Rom throwing so many more innings than Rodriguez? Are they trying to find out more about Rom since he likely wasn't as heavily scouted as someone like Rodriguez?

They've said they look back at the player's workload over the last 3 seasons + summer ball to determine inning limits. Rom threw about 10 less innings this year for his HS team, so 34 innings would get him to 100, while with GrayRod, it's just 25 innings to 100 total.

Got shelled today.   1.1 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 K’s.

Not quite as bad as it looks though.    All five hits were singles.     In the 2nd inning, the first batter reached on an error, then the second batter grounded into a force play.    For reasons I’ve never fathomed, that means if the second batter scores it’s an earned run.    Rodriguez then allowed two singles and was pulled, with the score 2-0 and two runners on.    The reliever walked two of the next three batters, forcing in a run with two outs, and then a bases loaded single.     So, GrayRod was charged with three earned runs that innning, but if the error hadn’t occurred, no runs would have scored.

That'll teach him not to pitch to contact. Strike them all out, Grayson!

Can't the baseball gods just let us have something!  Is that too much to ask?

Apparently, the box score was changed to reclassify all three second inning runs as unearned.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Say O! · Posted

      More Corbin Burnes day please. 19 whiffs yesterday for Burnes with curveball generating 5 whiffs (on just 7 swings) and slider generating 7 whiffs (on just 8 swings).  Definitely the best his breaking stuff has looked all year.  Key was starting in zone and dropping out, whereas Burnes had been burying too many into the dirt and not starting the pitches competitively within the zone.  Palmer has mentioned Burnes preference to stay away/away with most offerings, but yesterday Burnes finally seemed to vary location at least a little bit and pitched to more quadrants (sprinkled sinkers in to RHs and cutters in to LHs).  To me that is what made offspeed more effective instead of hitters staying back and looking away/away.

      For all the gnashing of teeth from some about him only going 6 innings every time, he's only 1 inning short of Zack Wheeler who is largely considered the best SP in baseball.

      Gold Glove Infield?

      rWAR is Baseball-Reference (some call it bWAR).  fWAR is Fangraphs.  fWAR now uses OAA as one if its main inputs for defense.   Some people are complete OAA converts and believe it’s vastly superior to the other advanced defensive metrics.  I’m still in the mode of looking at all of them (Fangraphs publishes OAA and it’s old stat UZR, BB-ref publishes Rdrs and Rtot).  If there’s a consensus, I buy it.  If 3 of 4 basically agree, I buy it.  If it’s a split, I go with whichever ones agree with my eye test.   Not exactly scientific but it keeps me sane.

      GM John Mozeliak did a 15-minute sit down with the local NBC affiliate a few days ago - some of what was discussed was TV revenue uncertainty.    It was interesting to compare that with the Orioles partnership having the club and network to maneuver with.

      Kade Strowd 2024

      I happened to see him yesterday.  The game results aren’t on Savant yesterday but I kept looking for this new cutter and kept seeing 96 mph fastballs and sliders.  Pretty sure Savant showed like a 90% cutter usage before that game.  Now it’s down to 66% and shows more of the fastball and curve.   He have up a double to a LH hitter on a slider but looked good overall.   His last pitch was a 12-6 slider/curve which could be a great swing and miss pitch.  The mechanics looked smooth and the fastball command looked good.  I’m just curious if he was throwing cuttters and they break like sliders or he just wasn’t throwing it yesterday.   Maybe @Tony-OH knows?

      Ideal 2025 lineup...

      By EERinthe804 · Posted

      With the infield depth in the Os pipeline, I'm beginning to think that Holiday should get some run in CF to see if he's capable of being Mullins heir apparent.  Mullins currently is under control thru 2025 and would be a FA in 2026.  Currently, the organizational depth at CF isn't great and I believe with Holiday's body type, he could potentially fit in at that position.  I'd like to see next year's non-pitching roster look something like this: C-Rutschman 1B-Mountcastle 2B-Westburg SS-Henderson 3B-Mayo LF-Cowser CF-Holiday RF-Kjerstad Bench - backup catcher, Hays (2026 FA), Mullins (2026 FA), O'Hearn (2026 FA), Mateo (2026 FA)/Norby
