He's pared it down to a decent Fastball (which he has thrown higher in the zone this season) and a great Change-up. 

He had not used his Curveball or his Cutter in his last few games prior to the trade to the Rays, but the article asserts that that may have been a symptom of him having moved to the Marlins' bullpen ........ now that he is being used as a starter again, it will be interesting to see if he remains a 2-pitch pitcher or if he reacclimates the Curveball and the Cutter into his stockpile of pitches.

2nd and 3rd with one out and the O's can't muster a run.

[Yossarian]

I'm not seeing what all of the hype around DJ Stewart was.

[spiritof66]

Well, that was awful.

Great-looking unis, though.

What "all the hype"?

I never saw or heard anyone who thought the kid would be anything more than a league average sort of guy.  On the other hand I remember one poster who said the pitchers the O's got in the Matusz trade would have superior careers.

But, but first rounder.

Rays looking like a bunch of cricket players at bat.

Even when drafted he was seen as a high floor, low ceiling guy.

I'm not suggesting anyone actually listen to it.

I gave Cruel Summer a try earlier hoping it was a cover of the Bananarama classic.  It wasn't.

Yeah, 5 picks after Richie Martin.

Only 6 first rounders from that draft have even accrued 1 rWAR.

From what we've seen so far, he's not even that yet.  This team could use some "league average" type players in the roster.

I know. I was mocking the ‘hype’.

My head might explode if I listen to her. It’s a big leap. Or, are you suggesting the potential comedic value?
