Hey Mr. Slade, great to hear from you!    I hope you’ll give us your evaluation of some of the other Bowie players since you’re apparently seeing a lot of them, and I’ve always found your scouting reports very insightful.   

And, it’s cool to learn that Bruce Zimmermann is your cousin and former teammate.    He seems to be flying slightly under the radar but that may not last long.    Let’s hope he enjoys continued success this season!

Hey Hangouters. It’s been a while since I posted on here. But, I figured it’s time to return and start a thread about my cousin Bruce Zimmermann since I’ve been going to most of his starts now.

Gausman is doing the heavy lifting on that one.

Zimmermann in line to pick up his first AAA win tonight after 7 strong innings against a first place Gwinnett team. Zimmermann allowed one run on 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1 over 88 pit

Yes that is the plan. I’ll be at most of his home starts so I’ll be taking some video of other players on the team and doing some write ups

I'm pretty sure we decided that velocity is the least important thing for a pitcher.

Everyone else seemed pretty adamant about it.

I purposely stayed out of that, I don’t have time to beat my head against the wall.

You’re right, you don’t, there is hard data on your side.

Yup, Koby Allard would be up in the bigs with Mike Soroka if velocity didn't matter.  Allard looked like a sure thing before he lost a few ticks.  Btw, Soroka is absurdly good.

Zimmerman has pitched in 18 games, all starts, at AA ball.  I have no problem with letting him get some more experience at that level.

He's got almost 100 innings in Double A and he's been dominant this season.  I think given his advanced age and performance a promotion should be on the horizon.

I think he's been good, not dominant.  He's averaged 5+ innings per start.  Again, not dominant.  And, he's not on the 40 man, yet.

Having said that, a promotion at some point this season won't surprise me.

How often do any minor league pitchers go six innings plus?  It's rare.  I wouldn't hold that against them.  All of these guys are limited to around 5 innings a start. 

His stuff may not be dominant, but his 2.25 ERA and .207 BAA is.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
