Why take out the team's top young pitcher after only five innings when he's been completely dominant?  He doesn't even have 100 pitches.  And then Hyde relieves him with Keegan Akin's trash.  I'm sorry, I don't care if the O's are up by 6 runs.  It's just a bad decision -- one of things I hate most about today's game.

Welp, he went 91 pitches and the O's haven't conditioned him to go deeper into games than that.

I don't have the numbers on hand but I'm not sure he ever hit 100 pitches in a start in the minors, if he did it was pretty rare.

I HATED the decision to leave Tate in at the start of the 9th.  They’d already had Lopez warming up.  Just bring him in.  I would hsve guaranteed you that he was going to have to come in mid-inning if

One more thing.  The odds of Gillaspie stranding the ghost runner were definitely not good.  You don’t play for one run in the top of the tenth if you’re bringing him in.

It was a dumb post. I know it was dumb. I’m just having a day today. Sorry.

I suspect Hyde has some pretty specific instructions from the FO regarding Grayson's innings/pitches management.

I guess, but he's pitched 5 innings in the majors in 3 other games already this season.  When is the time to give him that extra inning or two?  I would think pretty darn soon -- especially when he's dominant, obviously.  I see he's pitched 6 or more innings in the minors several times but don't know the pitch counts.  I'm probably overreacting but it just felt too early to take him out.  I'm following the game online rather than watching it but what an exciting pitcher he is already -- even if it is against one of the weakest hitting teams in the league.

I've been wanting them to let him pitch deeper into games for years now.

My guess is part of the reason he was pulled today was because he was in line for his first win.

He threw 30 pitches in the 5th, that’s why.  He was clearly tiring.

I think The Grayson Rules this year are probably about as sharp as The Jordan Rules.

Hopefully this peak test tube baby scenario is a one and done, and the choices of the last few years help the fastballs keep firing full strength all decade long.

The basic strategy of what does MLB do with Arms is fluid, maybe even triple dog dare fluid if they check Bill Parcells Planet Theory boxes.    To really lean into the shtick, Madison Bumgarner might as well be Warren Spahn or Jim Palmer.     If you can load manage Corbin Burnes into 2000 Pedro, what can you do with a bigger talent?

Plus in Arb you can point out how the production is so much less than Aaron Nola.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      This.  Baseball is a game of failure, but my goodness these guys went above and beyond in that department. Productive outs shouldn't be that hard.  Watch Witt in the first inning of Game 2.  And while the two playoff games perfectly told the story of the 2024 Orioles offense, I am hopeful that national stage embarrassment provides a real learning experience and motivation for fixing what is wrong with them.  As much as I am sure it hurts to watch your own hand being broken, Cowser should be watching that AB every single day from now until next October. Same thing with Adley channeling his inner Chris Davis and staring at that 2-0 meatball like he has never seen a major league pitch before.

      Could fit the profile Elias likes of veteran free agents who might be willing to sign for few years at higher AAV's. I love the splitter. I'd be interested. Free agent means no posting fee, correct? Not that it matters.

      All the talk about facing LH pitchers and needing RH bats to match up - I think it’s a bit overblown. Our approach was terrible and our guys failed to play team baseball just as much against RHP w/ platoon advantage. Guys just consistently failed to do their job.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I agree on both parts here. I’ve been reflecting on my love for baseball. Even the postseason helped me realize I enjoy the slow burn of the regular season.  I also am far away from MD and for me Baltimore is part of my cultural roots (both parents from the area). So in some sort of way, like you said, maybe there’s a healthy separation and more tolerance for failure. Maybe even nostalgia, lol. But I’ll take it.

      I don’t live in Maryland either, but I still have family that are there and most of them are more into the Ravens, yet they send me O’s stuff all the time — which really isn’t a great pulse for O’s fan expectations. I think from the time I lived there until now (which is a few decades), Baltimore is definitely more of a football town. Maybe my family does reflect the times? As for OH and representation, that’s a fascinating question. To me, the OH feels like the place is generally a group of the hardcore of the hardcore baseball fans, with some part timers mixed in. The differences tend to break on personality types (cynics, optimists, realists — and a handful of comedians). If Elias only tweaks a couple things and doesn’t make any fundamental changes (like maybe drafting more pitchers) or pretending nothing can be done about RISP — then any glow about the rebuild will truly fade, at least in my house.

      The lack of velocity will be issue I think in majors at his age but the secondary pitches must be very good.  It is interesting that in Japan the splitter is like the cutter/sweeper is in MLB.  It seems Asian league goes more for the up and down movement while MLB pitching strategy is the lateral movement of pitches.
