He was drafted 1-1 for a reason. Looks like were slowly beginning to see what his game is like. 

His walk rate in college the year we drafted him was outrageous.  76 BB in 266 PA.    Some of that was undoubtedly teams pitching round him, but he also showed that he wouldn’t expand the zone in that situation.    Looks like that’s still true.

Double and a walk tonight.  OPS is climbing towards 900  but the BA still sucks.  
 

He is definitely starting to settle in though.

I think it’s likely that the high walk rate in recent games shows he’s homing in.   At this point he’d be at .300 if he had 3 more hits     K rate still at 25% but only 1 K in the last 4 games    Things are heading in the right direction

I kind of wanted to say, and just like Yasmani Grandal his team is in 1st place with catchers doing so much else not in batting line, etc., etc.

But even if they salvage one - these are Dombrowski's Fighting Phils this week.    Next week Adley's team v. Heliot's team down in Richmond maybe a good battle for early league leadership.    I won't even grumble today if DL Hall gets held back for two in that series.

His eye at the plate is near perfect from what I've seen. If its not a strike, he isnt swinging. 

He definitely has a 70 level eye. He really does rarely chase and has gotten behind on some close calls that went the pitcher's way.

He made the only out in the bottom of the 10th against some probably not very good end of the bullpen guy for Reading, but every other Baysox reached for a 13-12 comeback win.

On a day the Baysox got 13 runs, 10 hits and 12 walks, Cadyn Grenier went 0-for-5 with 4K.    Can we please get Bowie SS Westburg and Aberdeen SS Henderson Tuesday?

I'm looking forward to the day that I can, with clear conscious, cite Grenier when posters call someone like DJ Stewart or Chance Sisco a bust.

He did make a nice barehanded pickup off a nubber, but threw a bit wild to first. Good first baseman makes that play. Had no chance at the plate though.

Did that go over the scoreboard?

I think it hit the video board that had Adley's picture on it.

Shades of Eddie in the 1983 World Series hitting the scoreboard with his name on it with his monster HR in Game 5.

    • Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.
    • I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball. 
    • You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander. 
    • Here's what people thought a couple weeks ago.   
    • Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.   
    • Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.
    • I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
