Kyle Bradish 2022

The stuff is really good. Just needs to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate and he’s gonna be a good one.

It's tough to keep the ball out of the middle when the ump is calling every pitch on the edge of the zone a ball.  He seems to be adjusting very well and getting more comfortable.

Giving the O's 6 innings is better than most of our starters have been doing.  Maybe the O's can get some runs next time.

Quality!

 

Nice job given the situation, the ump and the defense.

That was a fine debut. Quality start. Best part is that didn’t look intimidated at all. All business. Left a fastball over the plate that cost him. And then he rolled the rest of the way. I’ve seen a lot of him so the thing that I hadn’t seen yet was his composure in a big moment….and he passed that with flying colors. And like Tony said, he flashed a change-up that was pretty sick. Incredibly happy for the young man. That was fun. Hard not to think about what Rodriguez, Hall, Bradish, Wells, and Zimmerman can do in the coming years.

I really liked the quality of his stuff.  Fastball has hop, curve has serious sharp break.  Tony liked the changeup.  And, his demeanor on the mound was terrific.  Didn’t let the one bad inning get to him.  Very encouraging.   And by the way, nice to see the O’s let him go 6 innings!

Something to build on.  Who's up next?

Minnesota, and might be Dylan Bundy.

This was really my first look at him, and nice beginning.   His face reminded me of Tillman's.

[Sports Guy]

64% str% and a 17% swingstr%.  Needs to miss a few more bats and get more Ks but have to like his first start.

An excellent first career start. I know he may have ups and downs but there's a lot to like about Bradish.

Yes!! That’s exactly who I thought of. His stuff looks similar. Big 12-6 curve, mid 90s FB.

That was one terrible post game interview.  Was messing up canned lines and acted like he was was annoyed to be doing an interview.  Doesn’t seem to have much going on upstairs.  He admitted he lost focus in the 4th and became a “fan” watching the offense put up runs.  Pretty frustrating inning.  Hope he bounces back in a big way.

Wow, missed that! Anyone have a link to the interview by chance?

Took me awhile to find it:  https://video.masnlivestream.com/video/Kyle Bradish on his rough fourth inning against Twins/2170

 

It's not that bad, IMO.  Not all of these guys are going to be brilliant and engaging in front of the media.  Not all of these guys are going to like answering questions, especially after a bit of struggling.  Maybe there's a little bit of Bedard here, and that's fine.

Which brings me to the best ever Bedard/media exchange:

Bedard:  "I'm only allowing three questions."

Reporter:  "Why only three questions?"

Bedard:  "That's one."

I died.  That was hilarious.
