He gave up a couple of hard hit balls, and had a little bit of command trouble at times, but I'm nitpicking a guy who struck out 10 in 4 innings and has yet to surrender a run in three starts. What stood out in this start vs his prior start was his slider. It's a swing and miss pitch, as is the curve. His fastball was mid 90's again. Very encouraging, but I'll pump the brakes a bit on my comment about moving him to AAA. He is clearly better than anticipated though. Personally, I like him more than Lowther, Zimmerman, Akin, Wells. 

Agree on all points, well said. The slider, which has a very similar break (Maybe 1-7 vs 12-6) to his curveball but harder, really is a nice pitch that brought very late and hard. His command of his fastball was off a bit as he missed high quite often, but he certainly looks like a guy who has placed himself right behind Baumann on the start pitching prospect rankings.

Was throwing his FB 94-96, topping out at 97 according to the Bowie gun. Nice bend on his CB, 81-85. Didn’t seem to go to his CU too often. Delivery has good deception, with a big back bowing that alm

He didn't set the world on fire in his AAA debut, but it wasn't quite as bad as his line looks. He continues to have problems controlling his fastball, which he frequently elevates. His delivery has a

Guest: Thoughts on Kyle Bradish? The Orioles have really been hyping him since the alternate site started last year, and he’s been dominant in his few starts this year.

Kevin Goldstein: The stuff is really good, and if he hones the command he could be a valuable starting pitcher.

Hopefully, we actually reach that point - so we aren't perpetually looking ahead 2-3 years.  

I'm just hoping this isn't the case of the Calvary again and we end up with a couple solid bullpen arms, one solid starter and trade away the one that ultimately ended up being the best. I think there's a bit more depth and quality this time around so I'm crossing my fingers. 

With John Means becoming a real weapon. I'd love to see the Orioles keep and build the rotation around him. If Bradish ends up being a good starter, that's two guys that seemingly overshot their projections from a couple years ago. That would be a great starting point and take some pressure off as we would no longer be dependent on Hall and Rodriguez both reaching close to their potential. Still, with Means, Bradish, Hall, Rodriguez, Baumann, Lowther, Baulmer, Akin, Kremer, Wells, Smith, Stallings, etc. we have a crop of arms that should be able to at least produce the strong basis of a rotation and potentially a couple swing/bullpen arms. We are getting some concerning things on a few of the arms, but some very bright news on others. That's going to happen some will rise and some will falter and fail, but given the depth, we may be a in a good position starting by mid year next year.

Is it too much to ask that our starting rotation next year is Bradish, Means, Rocker, Hall, and GrayRod?  

...with Adley as their starting catcher?

Wait another decade?  :confused:

 

 

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone here fantasized about some future rotation, or how some current rotation would gel.   Bedard/Cabrera/Loewen.   Matusz/Tillman/Arrieta.   Bundy/Gausman/Harvey. 
Things just never go quite the way you hope.

One of these days, Lucy won't pull the ball away when we're ready to kick it.  

But will Elias be there to do it for her?

      Who is the greatest living baseball player?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think if you are going to ignore PED issues, Bonds probably held the title of greatest living ball player long before Willie Mays died.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.
