Grayson pitched 5 innings tonight, allowing 2 hits, 1 run, 6 strikeouts, 1 walk.

He did not start the 6th inning despite having only thrown 76 pitches.

That’s annoying.  If he can throw 89 pitches a few starts ago and 82 in his last start, he certainly should have been able to start the 6th.

We’re saving him for our pennant run. 

The Rays perhaps are with Baz - hadn't seen any injury blurbs on him but looked at his Game Log after the quiet lately, and the last month and a half he has only pitched on 7/15 and 8/15.

I am curious to see how the org lands Rodriguez's year.   Will he get to October 3rd, some 100-ish pitch leeway in his final turns, both or neither?

Has anyone seen evidence that this type of tight rein on his pitch counts serves to reduce injury risk?

That would be the only reason to pitch him like this right?  Reducing injury risk?

We have Grayson Rodriguez following the same MLB Pitch Smart guidelines my team followed... though it was a 13/14 team.

Why do you think they are keeping a tight rein on him?  Gotta figure they have their reasons and there's something mathematical or scientific behind those reasons.

I think they are trying to avoid injury.

I don't think there is a magic formula to keep them healthy.

I don't think anyone, including Elias, thinks there is a magic formula.  I think they believe there is a formula which may increase the chances of keeping them healthy.

How would say the Elias formula is working out this year?

I haven't given it much thought.  Don't really know.  I put this back into your big category of what I call nit picking.  If you didn't have something to complain about you wouldn't be happy.  As for me, if Elias and company want to limit innings of pitchers and slow play promotions,  no biggy!

I think the way he is being handled is going to impact his availability when he reaches the majors.  I don't think that is a nit pick.

    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.
