LHP Sean Gilmartin coming up

[Ohfan67]

Ahh. So he’s not even a brand new acquisition from the trades. 

[Richmond Bird 9]

I think he was signed as a minor league f/a a month or so ago.

That's a good question.

Gilmartin might not be up here long and is probably just here to eat innings.

Means will probably come up in a few weeks and get a spot start.

Donnie Hart is not a major league pitcher. He has one job and he doesn't even do it. 

By year:

• 2016: 0.59 ERA, 3.53 FIP, 0.982 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9
• 2017: 3.71 ERA, 4.49 FIP, 1.397 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9
• 2018: 5.79 ERA, 5.30 FIP, 2.286 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9

His splits against lefties by year:

• 2016: .132/.190/.158 - .348 OPS

• 2017: .273/.371/.403 - .773 OPS

• 2018: .316/.409/.541 - .950 OPS

His splits against righties by year:

• 2016: .292/.370/.417 - .787 OPS
• 2017: .284/.317/.421 - .738 OPS
• 2018: .429/.467/.500 - .967 OPS

The league has adjusted to him and his control has been a disaster this year. 

Keeping around a LOOGY that can't get lefties out is asinine on a club that isn't contending. This club desperately needs outs during games.

I watched Gilmartin today and let's just say he doesn't have major league stuff. He's the kind of guy who you bring up to eat innings.

I'll give him a small pass for today, given the story of his journey to even make it to the park today.

Let's hope the man develops a tremendous appetite.

He does have some weird thing that seems to work occasionally.

As opposed to Yacabonis that has stuff that seems to work rarely.

After watching him more, he's a guy who is a pitcher. He knows how to pitch which helps his below average stuff play up a bit. He's done a nice job overall, but he is what he is and that's an up down guy who can burn some innings for you. His 6.15 FIP, 1.33 WHIP and 4.7 K/9 all speak to a guy who is due some serious regression, but I'll give him credit for supplying some innings effectively which is something the more "higher touted" pitchers haven't really done.

He's been pretty effective against left-handers this year so the Orioles could do worse if they are looking for a left-handed reliever next year, but I think he has a better chance of being effective as a long man. Say what you want, he's a lot better than Nestor Cortes Jr.
