Interesting that, in a game in which the Orioles trail 1-0 in the fifth, and have had only one baserunner (and when Villar is on first, I view that as more like .75 of a baserunner), there's so much bitching about the lousy pitching. 

 

Well, Jimmy's first batter was the HR that makes the difference in the game. He has wonderfully settled in now.

So Villar has two hits, and both are on balls that I think Kiermaier might have been able to catch.   And Kiermaier is normally one of the top CFs in MLB.

And now we are cooking!   Tie run on 3rd no one out.

Orange amps? I could have gone on and on and on. Old Beat Club has thousands.

And the guitars.  They have one video in which they preview each song on the new album and the female keeps adjusting her Capo each time the next song comes on to lip synch to.

      440 ML players have 100+ PAs this year. Norby is 404/440 in Exit Velocity and coincidentally 404/440 in Contact% So he doesn't put his bat on the ball and when he does, he doesn't hit it hard. Which (unlike Holliday and Mayo) is completely in line with his poor Exit Velocity and Contact% in AAA. He's not a good defender either. Norby is a bad baseball player and we're better off with Livan Soto and Emmanuel Rivera.

      Norby has been coming back down to earth. He's 2-23 with 10 Ks and no extra base hits over the past week. OPS has dropped over 100 points. Currently .784

      He won't be the savior but he's a piece in the puzzle.

      I am guessing it was just a matter of it being a big ask of Kjerstad to hit vs a LHP when he is just coming back from a seriously bad concussion and he only has 11 career AB's vs LHP. Also evaluating Jimenez for inclusion on the postseason roster. Hopefully he is playing himself off it assuming we get Westburg and Urias back.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      Now that Bowie’s season is in the books, we can add their pitchers into the mix for Pitcher of the Year. I see four plausible candidates (listed in order of IP): Alex Pham (24) led the org in IP with 119.   He threw to a 4.24 ERA, 1.235 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 and 2.8 K/BB.  Though his season-long numbers aren’t super impressive, he got better each month of the season until the final partial month, with monthly ERA’s of 7.78, 5.64, 4.43, 3.60, 1.69 and 2.35.  He certainly finished on a strong note and seems likely to be in Norfolk’s rotation next year.    Trace Bright (23) had an up and down year in which he threw 112 innings to a 4.18 ERA, 1.482 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 and 2.0 K/BB Cameron Weston (23) began with four dominant outings at Aberdeen (0.54 ERA) and was quickly promoted to Bowie, where he continued to shine (3.41 ERA).   Overall, he posted a 2.97 ERA, 1.009 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 and 4.0 K/BB in 109 IP.    Though he was exclusively a reliever, Dylan Heid (26) deserves mention.  In 40 relief appearances spanning 62.1 innings, Heid posted a 1.73 ERA, 1.171 WHIP, 8.5 K/9 and 1.8 K/BB. Of the AA group, I think Weston is clearly the strongest candidate for the Pitcher of the Year award.  Stacking him up against the A+/A candidates listed in the OP, he has more IP than any of them, and a better ERA and WHIP than any of them except Nestor German.   German tops Weston in all four rate categories by a solid margin (1.59 vs. 2.97 ERA, 0.937 vs. 1.009 WHIP, 11.0 K/9 vs. 10.5, 5.3 K/BB vs. 4.0), but pitched far fewer innings, 109 to 73.2.  There’s also the fact that Weston was promoted in May, whereas German was not promoted until August.  On the other hand, German’s A+ numbers were just as impressive as his low A numbers, and in some ways, even more impressive.    It’s a tough call, but I’d say that Weston is the leader in the clubhouse, with the AAA pitchers to be considered next week when Norfolk’s season ends.
