People are always picking on Pedro Severino, but…

They have Luke!

Well...that depends on how long this rebuild takes. Plus the Angelos family is still in control even if the sons are doing things differently than their father.

Luke posted great content on here until the warehouse snatched him.

And he does read OH still, as you can tell from his profile page.

Fabulous stuff.  Tony was very kind to bring Luke to the O’s attention.

Slowly, slowly, Severino’s offensive numbers have been heading towards respectability.   On May 8 his OPS stood at .542.   He’s now up to .696 overall, having posted .779 in the intervening 50 games he’s played.   He’s also now up to 0.8 rWAR, 0.3 fWAR.   Nothing great there, but at least in positive territory despite his framing/blocking issues.   In the past, he’s slumped badly at the end of the season.  We’ll see how he finishes this time.

I thought the same thing. Basically within the margin of error of his career averages.

[sevastras]

His “runs from extra strikes” this year is -7, meaning he has given up 7 runs this year on his framing alone. Not to mention his horrible blocking. That puts him at 53 for MLB catchers this year out of 55 qualifying. To compare, Sean Murphy is number 1 with 9 runs saved. 
That also doesn’t take into account the strikes that he has stolen from pitchers. He isn’t doing it as much now but at the beginning of the year he would randomly stand up when he caught the ball and blocked what should have been clear strikes from being called.

Still terrible though. Can’t wait to give him his goodbye fruit basket.

He hustles on the bases...I just wish he extended the effort behind the plate.

It looks like he may be heading to the IL.  I guess Cumberland comes up and Adley gets his promotion to AAA.

I never want to see anyone hurt.  And as much as I've rode Severino earlier for being just terrible behind the plate, at least the bat has improved recently to SLIGHTLY offset him being so poor behind the plate.  That said, I'm looking forward to seeing less of him behind the plate, just wish it was due to performance and not injury.
