Ofelky Peralta used as the closer — interesting.    Maybe short relief is a good role for him.    1 IP 2 K’s and no baserunners last night.    

93-96, a lot of 95-96, looked as poised as I've ever seen him, throwing quality strikes when he fell behind in counts.

He’s starting tonight, so I guess there hasn’t been a conversion.

Anybody know whose pitching for the shorebirds home opener Thursday and when Rodriguez is scheduled to pitch next?

Per the Shorebirds game notes, the plan for the home stand against Lexington is Thurs: Blaine Knight, Fri: Grayson Rodriguez, Sat: Drew Rom and Sun: Nick Vespi

Shorebirds just won one of the craziest games you'll ever see. They were 2 outs away from being no hit and down 5-0. They then proceed to score 7 runs in a row and win on a walk off grand slam by JC Encarnacion. Grenier and Breazeale each had RBI doubles in the inning as well. Insane....

I didn’t realize they were being no hit. I’ve been trying to check all the affiliates box scores every night. I saw they were down to last out. Crazy. 

Only one loss.

The Shorebirds came back from a 5-2 deficit today behind 5 no-hit innings from their bullpen.   Will Robertson hit a game tying 3 run homer and Cadyn Grenier knocked in the go ahead run in the 7th as Delmarva prevailed 6-5.

    • Why does everybody want to jump and label a kid so fast? What is this, his 2nd major-league season? Yes, certainly they shouldn't go into next year thinking he's a lock for 30+ starts and 180-200 innings but we can't say he's already reached his peak either. 
    • And their defense is very good. To put things in perspective, the Tigers collective dWAR is +0.5. The Orioles is -2.8. Minnesota -4.1, Yankees -0.3, Houston -0.1, Seattle +2.0, Royals at +2.5. The Royals really standout as most of that value is driven by Fermin (catcher) and Witt.  But I think my point is that the Tigers have excellent pitching (starting pitching and bullpen) as well as excellent defense. And they're not putrid with the bats.  I would say the one saving grace about the Tigers is they don't run much. 
    • We could have easily swept Detroit in Baltimore, the lineup we have now is not the lineup they faced. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, just win.
    • Both of them are important to consider here. They could have a mediocre offense every single game of the season, but if the pitching is elite (and it is!), it'll carry them.  We have 6 games against the Tigers this year. And yes, most of them were without the cadre of regulars. But here are the offensive numbers against them: .211/.282/.392 - .674 OPS They scored 20 runs in 6 games against them. Barely scraping 3 R/G. And a good portion of them coming in *1* game.  Out of the WC potentials the O's could face, here are their R/G: Royals: 29 in 6 games = 4.8 R/G Twins: 22 in 3 = 7.3 R/G Mariners: 27 in 6 = 4.5 R/G Tigers: 20 in 6 = 3.3 R/G Out of all the playoff teams, the best RA/G are the Mariners (3.75), Guardians (3.85), and Tigers (4.96). For the playoffs, you want to look at who you're facing on the bump. Which team scares you the most? Because if you can't hit against the team, it doesn't matter what the opposing offense is.  Also you'll want to consider the best fielding teams, too.   Seems to me you'd want to face the team you matchup best against *and* who has the worst defense and worst pitching, because presumably your 3 starters (Burnes, Eflin, Kremer) should be able to hold teams in check. 
    • I'd prefer Detroit - they've been so hot for so long they should be due to cool off. KC has been just the opposite. 
    • I'd say the Royals...pitch around Witt and Salvy Perez who seems to have had our number in recent years.  The rest of their lineup isn't too imposing. Wacha  -a guy I wanted this offseason and was laughed at for wanting him- has a 2.64 ERA over his last 15 starts.  He's the soft-tossing type that gives our lineup fits and, IIRC, he was great against us earlier this year.  Lugo has had a great year, so has Ragans.  Their starters are good. But they're 3-7 over their last 10 while the Tigers are 8-2.  A lot of the postseason, IMO, is catching teams at the right/wrong time.  This could all change by next week but the Tigers are hot, the Royals are not... Then again, I said I wanted to face Texas in the first round last year and look what happened.  So who knows.  
    • Would much rather face KC and to me it’s not close.    game 1 agains Skubal is an L. They’ve proven they can beat us with a bullpen game, a bullpen only behind CLE as best in the AL.
