ADAM GREGORY PLUTKO

 

Plutko entered the game with runners on 1st and 2nd base, 2 outs, and the Orioles desperately clinging to a 1-run lead ...... he got the team out of the jam by retiring Xander Bogaerts to end the inning, and wound up throwing 2.33 shutout innings overall. 71% of the outs that he recorded (5 out of 7) came via the Strikeout and the Groundout.

It is a lot easier if the throw is within ten feet of second base though.

Maybe Cesar needed a few more warm-up throws ......

Palmer said that it was almost like somebody else was in his uniform for the first couple of batters, and then he reclaimed the orange-and-black outfit for himself after that.

Nice to open the season against the worst team in the division.

Allow our guys the chance to get their confidence up before playing good teams.

I checked the MLB power rankings yesterday. Sawx were 20th. Not expected to do crap.

 

We were 29th btw... ahead of PITT.

Why was he swinging at that 3-1 pitch ???

Better them than us ...... if the situations were reversed and an Oriole batter did that in the same situation, the game thread would have exploded. Some posters might have needed to purchase a new television set.

I beg to differ. Stanhouse walked A LOT of batters.

Just looked it up: 455 walks in 760.3 innings!

Yes, he walked a lot of batters. I haven't checked, but I bet he averaged a walk per appearance. He drove Weaver crazy, leading to Stanhouse's nickname of "Fullpack."

But in his good years Stanhouse had really good command. He just didn't want to throw strikes to good hitters, especially with the bases empty or just one on. He nibbled, trying to get swings on pitches out of the zone. If guys got on, and he usually put somebody on, he could and did throw strikes when he was on his game. And when he was at his peak, he was almost always on on his game.

I bet Valdez doesn’t pitch tomorrow.

Meanwhile, that was a lot more trouble than it should’ve been. But the icing on the cake as always is going to over the monster and watching them embrace the hate.

Sort of compensated for by how smooth Plutko and Tate were. Can't have everything. It's real baseball--and more fun.

Ok. Sorry--I see what you mean. And the strategy.

      Brandon Young 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      BP profiled him today: Brandon Young, RHP, Baltimore Orioles Listed Height: 6-foot-6 Listed Weight: 210 pounds DOB (Age): August 19, 1998 (25) Pitch Velo Spin IVB HB Total % Whiff% 4-Seam Fastball 93.5 2124 18.0 -4.8 131 48.7 31.8 Changeup 85.5 1730 9.8 -13.3 64 23.8 22.9 Curveball 75.7 2723 -14.4 11.5 34 12.6 40.0 Slider 85.4 2048 5.4 5.5 26 9.7 12.5 Sweeper 79.5 2084 1.7 11.5 14 5.2 11.1 Injuries limited Young to just 53 1/3 innings between 2022 and 2023. Upon return to action last year, he flashed increased velocity. That velocity bump has carried over to 2024. Now, Young’s fastball has borderline-average velocity (previously below-average) but above-average carry and extension (6.6 feet). It is further aided by strong command. After his fastball, which is by no means a world beater, Young has a smattering of average secondaries. He primarily relies on a changeup–really his only secondary with above-average potential–that has solid velocity (8 mph), vertical movement (8+ inches), and horizontal movement (8+ inches) separation from his fastball. Both his breaking balls either lack enough power (curveball) or depth (slider/cutter) to be viable putaway pitches at the MLB level. His seldomly-used sweeper has potential, but it has had little success so far. Young adds to the depth of the deepest system in baseball, yet he very well may just be that–depth–likely without an above-average offering. Of course, he could become a viable fantasy arm even with mediocre stuff due to his command and control.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If I sell someone a house, I don’t advise them to buy the most expensive house because that means more money for me. I get to know the client, understand what’s important for them and advise them based off of that. That’s how you should always handle a job like that imo. Your wallet should not be part of the equation.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This goes back to a discussion I had before.     Since Stowers likely doesn’t have great trade value, do you keep him and trade Kjerstad instead?  Even if you think HK is better, can he get you a way better player and Stowers give you 80-90% of what HK can give you? It’s possible you have room for both too.  Just saying if you decide to trade an OFer, maybe this is the smart way to go?

      What I thought was best for my client. Which would depend on what my client has told me he wants. If he wants to maximize earnings I tell him to test free agency.
