4-26

8-1

Those three games have video of Hall's starts if you haven't seen them yet. 

Sort of a misrepresentative sample.    By game score, April 26 was Hall’s second best game of the year, August 1 was third.    He only walked 3 batters total in those games.

Gunnar Henderson is BA's #3 prospect in the GCL.  Darell Hernaiz was mentioned as garnering some attention from scouts in the related chat for looking good at SS.

I get that.   But it seems to me that in three starts you can get a really good idea of a pitcher’s stuff, but you might get a pretty skewed idea of his command.

Walks don't always equate to command. I can see guys who walk very few and still don't have good command.

Yeah, I’m guilty of conflating lack of walks with command there.   But I’d say the inverse isn’t true, i.e., lots of walks don’t usually happen to pitchers with good command.

In the majors it does, but in the lower minors, I agree.

Did we put anyone in the top 20 of the International or Eastern Leages?   Those lists apparently are out:  https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-prospects-by-league/

So far it’s just Hall in the Carolina and Rodriguez in the Sally.

7th and 20th in the International League. That one is pretty easy to guess. 

14th and 15th in the Eastern League. Not quite as easy.

It would be hard to believe that none of Mountcastle, Diaz, Hays, Baumann, Lowther, Akin, Kremer or Wells make a league top 20 list.

[Edit: Now I see from Luke's post that 4 of them were on top 20 lists. I assume it's from the above list, but I guess I'll look.]

Mountcastle and Akin in the IL.    I’ll go Lowther and Diaz in the EL, though it’s possible Kremer, Baumann or Wells is one of them.

IL is correct. Diaz and Baumann.

Baumann over Lowther feels right for BA to me - they're pigeonholed in my mind as the scout-iest of the prospecting sites.

IIRC Lowther's extension is part of his game, and I think that's a performance aspect BA may underappreciate a little.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Astros admit it is a knee sprain for Yordan and he is out the Mariners series, with hoped for return at the Guardians Friday. He will play the playoffs and I guess benefit from that infielders on the dirt rule, as otherwise defenses might have been able to put all of them well on to the grass like Pujols at the end. Mariners got the must opener with "just" Bryce Miller - now they have Logan Gilbert and George Kirby tonight and tomorrow afternoon against Yordan-free lineups to try and make the weekend interesting.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think a lot of fans frustration (well, at least mine) comes from a combination of this specific team and history.  This 2024 team has been extremely frustrating.  It is factually true that in the last 106 games they have only one walk-off win and only two wins when trailing after 6 innings. They have no series wins against an over .500 team since July 4th, and the worst record in the AL East since June 20. They cannot put together any long winning streaks, they have a real hard time generating a "big" inning, their all-star catcher has had an extremely disappointing second half, and their prized rookies have been far worse than anyone could have imagined.  So this has been without question a three-month plus malaise that feels like it just won't end.  Every time we want to feel enthusiastic or excited, we get shut down by a punch in the gut like Saturday and Sunday. The injuries have undoubtedly played a role, but I don't buy that they should have played this much of a role. Especially not on offense. The history part of it does not relate to the current team, but is a real pain point for fans like me who have been around for decades.  This organization last won an LCS game on October 13, 1997.  Almost 27 years since their last single game win in the LCS. Think about that and how much life has passed since that time.  Over those 27 years, 22 different fanbases have experienced their team in the World Series at least once.  If we go back to the last time the Orioles won the pennant, we can add another 4 fanbases to the list of World Series participants.  I think a 3 game sweep in last year's playoffs hurts us far more than it would Red Sox fans or Cardinals fans or Dodgers fans who are there regularly.  We have far fewer bites at the apple than most other fans, and every opportunity lost just resonates that much more.   No one should ever think the Orioles fans are spoiled, regardless of how much we may complain.  We are among the least spoiled fanbases not only in baseball, but in all of professional sports.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      He's absolutely right, but of course, anything prior to the 2023 sweep means nothing to this current squad.  Last year we got a glimpse into this team with pressure. We all, including me, pointed towards their inexperience, but now we have a 2nd half of a season with mostly the same players wilting under pressure. Whether that pressure be because of the game situation, expectations, trying to do too much with other players out, or whatever, we have another data point of this current team struggling when it matters. Now, barring a complete a total collapse by the Orioles over the last two series of the year (not out of the question but the that the Royals and Twins are crashing too make it almost assured this team will back into the playoffs), this team is going to the playoffs. This will be the real test because gone are the excuses of injury with Westburg, Urias, Coulombe and Webb back and the team will most likely face another struggling wild card team. That should give some hope that this team will win at least a game, and maybe a series if things go right.  Crazier things have happened before in the playoffs, but only a miracle World Series appearance would be able to overcome this frustrating season and end the discussion over the lack of clutch of this core group of players.
