I just watched the replay of Tate's innings, he looked like he settled in nicely.  His pitches have good movement.  I am hoping he's up here for an extended look.

#$#@, Eshelman starts today?  Was looking forward to watching the game while working from home this afternoon, now not so much.

Our odds of having our first .500 months or better of baseball since August 2017 are non-existent with that guy starting.

I have a feeling this thread is going to stick around and will be a good or bad thing, and accurate 1/2 of the time.

An OH jump-to-conclusions thread hitting .500?  Wow, I'll take it.

I think Dillon must check off a lot of boxes when it comes to analytics. It's the only explanation I can come up with for him jumping to the MLB after at most half a season as a AA reliever. I know he's got some talent to him but I think Sig and the analytics department think he can be a real piece in the bullpen and is somewhat ready now.

He only had to check off three boxes.

Well, just watching the 2 innings, I want to hit against Tate - even more than I want to hit against Hess.  He's got kindofa herky jerky thing in his motion, but it does nothing to fool the batter, because the ball's very easy to see coming out of his hand - and almost every pitch he threw had some hang to it.  I thought his stuff looked awful, tbh.      

How can you say that the ball is easy to see coming out of his hand?  Were you standing in the batters box against him at some point?  I think your analysis of almost every pitch having hang to it is incorrect.  If you watch again, you will see a two seamer that breaks and tails arm side late and also a change that is 10mph slower that does the same thing.  If you want to see a fastball that is easy to hit, go back and watch Guthries four seamer that he grooved like BP.

I liked what I saw from him and liked that he couldnt have cared less when he hit the batter.

I mean, either both the Orioles and Dillon Tate are bad at the same time, good at the same time, or he doesn't fit in at all. I guess I just upped the ante to .667.

Those were stupid questions.  Because of that, I had no interest in the rest of your post.

This. Once I saw him warming up, I stayed up to watch. Blah. Middling is the word I'd use. He could be a middle relief guy -- Ynoa type. If you're going to be a dominant reliever though, you have to have 1 dominant pitch. He doesn't. FB is good not great. Slider is good, not great. So... he's got some work to do if he wants to stick, imo.

Why bother responding then?  I will bring this thread back up every time he goes out and does well since you want to base your thoughts off his first three batters of his MLB debut.

I responded because I wanted you to understand your questions irritated me.  I'm guessing that came through.  :)   Now I consider it over - no hard feelings.  

Btw, I just gave my view of that 1 performance.  Hopefully,, he looks much better in the future.  I think we all hope he succeeds.

(vs. BLUE JAYS, 8/01)

 

Tate pitched 3 innings and ceded 3 runs in a blowout loss to the visiting team.

Eating the 3 innings was more important than the runs ceded, in this particular case.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
