I’m going to be interested to see what the new management does with Tate.    As noted in the write-up, the O’s brass converted him from a strikeout guy to a ground ball guy, with mixed results.    I’m not sure if the new guys will want Tate to stick with that approach.   Tate strikes me as a guy who might benefit from some good analytic information to help him hone his game.

Agreed.

I hope new management tells Tate to forget everything the Orioles taught him.

I think one of the interesting things to watch is whether the new guys will be able to use their analytic tools to improve the performance of players who are already in our system.   Especially the pitchers.

Sending a message I'm guessing.

No way he's on the 40 this offseason right?

Not sure about "sending a message." He was on the IL for a good amount (about a month,) so this seems like their "minor league rehab" stuff works (see: Hays, Austin and Diaz, Yusniel.)

Dillon Tate has looked a lot better since being moved to the Bowie bullpen.  Since then he has pitched 9 and 2/3 innings and has given up 2 ER while striking out 11 and walking only 1.  

If he continues to be dominant in a relief role I'd like to see him in Norfolk by August and hopefully gets a September call-up.  He will be 26 in May of 2020.  Need to see if he's worth a spot on the 40.

I agree. It looks like he is either a reliever or needs to lose his 40-man roster spot. Should figure it out over the last three months.

I wouldn't mind seeing him sooner than that. We can use the help.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
