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)

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
