A few random thoughts on Bradish:

1.  He has faced some top-shelf opponents.  19 total GS

Kyle Bradish 2022 Pitching Game Logs | Baseball-Reference.com

Cubs, Cincy, and Texas - 3 starts

Playoff contenders (plus Boston) - 16 starts.

2.  Progressive improvement as the season has moved along.

3.  Not good OPACY numbers, but many of his home starts were early in the season.  

4.  Bradish's changeup was featured on Pitcherlist's "10 Nastiest Pitches from Sunday".  We know his slider plays, but what else?

The 10 Nastiest Pitches From Sunday - Pitcher List

He's still a two-pitch pitcher (FB/SL).  Which basically means hitters can sit on one of those...  And his FB has been hit as a result.  He's thrown a CB and CH with different results.  The curve has a higher xBA, while the changeup has been a gopher ball this year (33% HR/FB ratio) despite the great xBA stats.  

5. Holt seems to be pretty good at teaching the changeup and sweeping slider.  This could be a solid path for improvement for Bradish heading into 2023.

 

An earlier interview with this quote:

Laurila: The limited amount in college aside, when did you start getting access to analytic data?

Bradish: “We had some of it with the Angels, but there was more when I got over to the Orioles. That’s when we started going in-depth after bullpens, breaking down my outings. But really, I mostly just rip all my stuff through the zone. [The data] has helped with my changeup, though. It doesn’t look as good analytically, but since my fastball is basically a cutter, it plays like a true changeup.”

And a correction to the CH 'gopher ball' comment above -- it's only 1 HR.  So SSS...  But still a path forward in his development.

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

I don’t know about being health lucky.. how many starting pitchers went down for periods this season?   Means, Rodriguez who would have been up here, Tyler Wells, Bradish, Watkins earlier in season, Kremer didn’t pitch till June 5,

 

Elias may try to get ones this offseason which would certainly help.  A few bats would help too. 

I’d definitely say we’ve been luckier than average as a team.   I used to track games missed on the IL for all AL East teams every year.  720 games missed in a season is about average.  I don’t think we are anywhere close to that.  For starting pitchers, 160 games missed per team is about average for a season.

Probably right with position players (though Odor being healthy and not missing the season may not have been much of a blessing lol)

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.
