Extremely impressive outing from Bradish tonight.   I think what impressed me most was when he started the 6th by allowing a long double and an inside the park homer, and rather than panicking he stru

So we drafted Bundy and were supposed to get a RHP with an upper 90's fastball, a knee buckling curve, and a great cutter. He gets hurt and comes back as a good pitcher at times but not the guy we ori

He’s got really good stuff. Fastball seemed a tick slow last night (93-95, when he averages 95) and he doesn’t have great command of it, but still better than ML average. If he could improve his changeup, he’s a legit 4 pitch SP. I think the stamina later in games will improve the more he gets used to those situations. I’m a big fan of his potential.

 Bradish was on his game tonight. Probably the best we've seen his slider tonight as he threw it 51% of the time with  45% WHIFF rate. It will be interesting to see if throwing that many sliders will affect his next start. That's the most sliders I can remember seeing from him. Either way, pretty impressive start.

When a pitcher's stuff is that good and then has a start like this, it's really tempting to think something has finally clicked.

In terms of (perhaps meaningless) intangibles, early in the game, he got a big strikeout and was, understandably, very hyped up. I loved the energy, and commented as much, but it also struck me as someone who was surprised they were doing as well as they were. After that, though, he turned into a pure ice man. And no melodramatics in the dugout when things got hairy in the 9th. 

That's all to say, I like his stuff, and I like his composure. Seems like he could be a cult-favorite Bird.

Anyone surprised when we see these kinds of starts Rutschman is behind the dish?

That and him blocking EVERY ball in the dirt with runners on.  Palmer does point it out everytime that a year ago those balls were going to the backstop.  And he is correct.

Nope. I know it's not all just Adley, but the Orioles are playing around .600 ball since he joined the team.

There might not be another player in baseball who would have the same impact considering the Orioles catching troubles.

I know I'm old school but I freaking HATE that they couldnt let the kid pitch the ninth....walk someone, ok, take him out. But hell, he was terrific, never labored late in the game... and only at 96 pitches. I'm sure I'm in the minority, and I understand why they do it...but I dont like it....and never will.

Yep…..Omazing Start! 
 

But, it would’ve been cool. I’d hate to see him lose the game late.

But that’s why we pay the big bucks to the closer for.   Oh wait….

Breaking Brad? Great command today. 

At 97 pitches I was hoping to see him go for the CG. As it turned Hyde managed to burn two of our A Squad relievers to get three outs. At least we get Felix back today.

Exciting to see Brandish, Kremer, and Akin all performing closer to expectations and turning into viable long term pieces.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
