Easy 100 miles per hour and working fast. I really like the pitch clock in the minors, it encourages guys to work faster. I have never actually seen it result in any repercussions for pitchers who let

I think we have to cut all teams some slack this year because of what happened last year and these guy not really pitching much.  It’s uncharted territory.

I think they should have let Grayson pitch a few more innings here and there but I don’t think it’s a huge impact on things.  It seems that they have a pretty strict 5 inning rule on him, which I think is a little silly.  It should be pitch count not innings.

That being said, I would guess he has around 4 or 5 starts left this year?  He should get over 100 IP.  That should put him in line to get 140-150 innings next year.  Figure he starts the year in AAA for 3-6 weeks, likely doing something similar innings wise that he is doing this year.  Bring him up then and you start to stretch him out with him being able to be more full go in the second half of next season.

Sweet but that is just MLB right?

Believe so.   I hadn't looked it up before now, but part of the horror was my sense that for the overall season 2021 Orioles pitchers are actually enjoying a rather healthy season.

Minors there's the DL Hall big loss, but for the moment at least perhaps Baumann is getting a couple steps past the graveyard gate.   Keep whistling, Michael!   I think Bradish and Rom have made all their turns along with Rodriguez.

I think whatever they are doing now, they feel are in the best interests of their asset for the next 6 or 7 years. I feel like they have reasons, good reasons, for doing so.  I have no proof that they are doing it the right way just as you have no proof it's the wrong way.  I give Elias the benefit of the doubt.  You are the complete opposite.  You mentioned it bothered you that you felt Elias acted and talked like the smartest guy in the room.  I think you have an axe to grind.

I am not very concerned about it.  If it means he throws 20-30 innings less in 2022 than he would have if he’d been built up more this year, I don’t think that’s the end of the world.   In the long run, he’ll be what he’ll be.   As it is, he’s thrown the second-most innings of any pitcher in our MiL system and will probably end the year at 105 - 110 IP (or maybe 120 if he gets promoted to Norfolk and makes two extra starts).   

Rodriguez has thrown 81.1 IP.    I just did a quick tour of the AL East and none of their prospects have thrown more than 89 IP.   None of Tampa’s prospects have thrown as many innings as Rodriguez.    So, I don’t think the O’s are way out of the mainstream here.   They have been a little conservative, not just with Rodriguez, but everyone.

Revisiting estimated K-BB% after AA start #13, I no longer have to cherry pick to Screen 2 to get his name to show up, he is among the Top 25 in Games Started now.

Grayson K-BB% is at 33, second place is 26, third place is 20.

ERA 2nd, WHIP 1st by a lot, BB% alone is even 8th, H/9 1st by a lot

Between the two levels, he is at 1254 pitches in his 18 starts.  In 2019, he threw 1547 in 20 starts.

There are 46 more days until Sunday October 3rd when Norfolk finishes.   7 more turns for a 20 to 25 step?   At his trademark ~75/game, it will take until Turn 22 for him to attain his 2019 pitches thrown mark.

Frobby with the research, facts, and common sense as usual.  And with no agenda.  Bravo!

Ssssh.  Just because he is one of the best posters on the board you don't have to tell him.   It will make his head all big and stuff.

Here’s the most innings thrown in the minors for each AL team, from high to low.

CWS 95.1

CLE 94.1

MIN 91.0

OAK 90.1

LAA 89.0

NYY 89.0

DET 87.1

BOS 86.1

TOR 84.1

BAL 82.2

SEA 82.2

HOU 82.1

KCR 81.1

TBR 80.0

TEX 73.2

As a general observation, most of the pitchers with high innings are older pitchers.   For example, the AL leader is none other than Mike Wright.

I have no problem in saying he IS the best poster on this board.  But it's good there's only one of him.

I consider Tony the best poster.  He goes to the minor league games, has contacts with scouts, shares evaluation of players, posts a ranking of prospects and has run the board for over 20 years.

There are many excellent posters on the board, including some who don’t post often but usually have something insightful to say when they do.  I enjoy the different perspectives people bring, even when I disagree with them.   It wouldn’t be fun if everyone saw things the same way all the time.  

This topic about innings/pitch limits is a good example.

      My candidates for MiL player/pitcher of the month

      By Frobby · Posted

      June 2024 - Pitchers There isn't as much to choose from on the pitching side.   Setting the bar at 15 IP, we have the following pitchers under a 3.00 ERA for the month (in IP order): Tucker Davidson, 23.0 IP, 1.17 ERA, 0.739 WHIP, 10.2 K/9, 8.7 K/BB. Cameron Weston, 19.2 IP, 1.83 ERA, 0.915 WHIP, 11.0 IP, 4.0 K/BB. Edgar Portes, 19.2 IP, 2.75 ERA, 1.475 WHIP, 13.3 K/9, 3.6 K/BB Riley Cooper, 18.0 IP, 2.00 ERA, 1.222 WHIP, 6.0 K/9, 1.2 K/BB Dylan Heid, 16.1 IP, 1.10 ERA, 0.674 WHIP, 10.5 K/9, 9.5 K/BB Seth Johnson, 16.1 IP, 1.65 ERA, 1.469 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 1.3 K/BB For me, I'm going with Davidson overall, and Weston in the prospect division.    In the under 15 IP group, you had DSL starter Esteban Luna (0.64 ERA), Norfolk reliever Trey McGough (1.26), Bowie/Norfolk relievers Ryan Hennen (1.84) and Aberdeen reliever Yaqui Rivera (1.93) all coming in under 2.00 ERA for the month.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You are poo pooing everything people are saying. You are acting like his age doesn’t matter. It’s the whole basis for the discussion…his age along with his production.    If you go in the other Basallo thread(s) you will see the charts that have been posted about guys with his wRC+ at his age in the minors.  There aren’t many names on the list and many of them are elite stars. What he is doing (ok he’s in a slump right now..everyone had them) and what he has done is not normal.

      It appears that he has an agreement in place in Chicago. I sort of doubt that the team that trades for him isn't aware and doesn't respect it. In fact, I'd wager most teams are going to err on the side of caution with their most valuable assets. If a team says screw you, you're throwing till your arm falls off, maybe he "suddenly" starts missing in the middle of the plate at 90 MPH over and over.

      I get that, but there's little evidence to support pitch limits in games or for the season correlates to injury prevention. If I was him I'd be concerned for my health, too. It's a reasonable position. Again, he's not the only guy available.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      Yeah it would, we do need 2/3 SP for PO .  Along with two more RPs for PO .  My comments on Irvin has to do with which SP goes to bullpen when Kremer returns .  I advocated for Suarez to stay in rotation instead . This is regular season move

      Why wouldn't they suspend him?  Wouldn't that freeze his service clock?
