Glad to see it is Bradish and not Matt Harvey.   It would be a real shot in the arm for the team and the organizaion if Bradish can hold down a rotation spot the rest of the year.

It is a relief they didn't choose Harvey over him. I think almost no matter how Bradish pitches (barring a complete confidence-destroying meltdown), they should just leave him in there the rest of the season. It takes guys awhile, but the Elias regime is starting to amass a decent track record of having their pitchers steadily improve. Maybe it means a move to the bullpen later, but we're not even close to that yet. Get him the experience this year.

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

Obviously we hope he does ell, but this kind of scares me:

bradishstuff.jpg.28dfc02d67e2fa66bcc85eefdacac729.jpg

After ten starts his xwOBA is in the 1 percentile of all qualifying pitchers. That's not good.

It will be interesting to see if there is any change in his stuff after his "IL" stint the Orioles have been using the IL to get players back to Florida and have them work on things. 

Let's see if there is a change.

Woof. LOL. 

I'm hoping some of those really bad starts were due to some shoulder issues and skewing this. We'll see. The Adley factor hasn't helped him either, so we can't blame Chirinos on this one.

Yikes. That is scary. When I watch him, I see a guy with good stuff who’s just missing his spots at times. You can see how his xwOBA increased over his last 50 & 100 PAs. Hopefully that’s due to the shoulder issues and not a problem where hitters are able to see the ball early in his delivery.

I think the silver lining is that all of the “stuff” measures are average to plus, it’s the outcomes that are all scary. If you squint you can convince yourself that there’s obviously something there to build off of. 
 

as far as today, would like to see them let him get 3 or 4 good innings on the books, then piggyback Akin. Let him focus on a few good innings vs. going the distance, and get some confidence back.

I admit that as I watched the bottom of the first, I was thinking "uh oh, here we go again".  But Bradish settled down and kept the O's in the game.   Kremer and Akin's improvement this year should remind us that struggling young players do sometimes figure things out.   Let's hope it happens for Bradish.

Final line a bit better than simply keeping the team in the game, I would say.

Nice outing.  Bradish seemed very satisfied with his effort in his post-game interview.  He even said Votto “didn’t really get a barrel” on his homer.   Bradish thought it was a pretty decent pitch.  

Up and in at 97. Certainly not a hanging curve in the middle of the plate.

He's a uh ... interesting post game interview lol. He's right, in that the pitch was good and the hall of famer did a hall of fame thing. But he comes off a little unnecessarily defensive.

He’s right, the xBA on that homer was very low. Small ballpark makes it a homer. But you’d like to see him maybe be a little less defensive about it. Otoh he’s gotten beaten around pretty good, so I get it

It was a good pitch. Sometimes you gotta give the hitter credit and well Votto is a pretty good one. Very nice outing by Bradish last night, good to see. Hopefully he an put a string of them together but he does seem to tire around 80 pitches which something to keep an eye on.

Remember how some pundit described him a possible “five and dive” starter?   Maybe it’s “four and then show him the door.”

      Weird, it's amazing how easy NFL kickers can kick 50+ yard FGs just when Tucker no longer can effectively.

      Agree with that, but last I checked so do we. Also Detroit has been doing their late season run with guys named other than Skubal. That said lets go.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By e16bball · Posted

      Some quick recaps of the matchups against KC, as they happened so long ago that they’re genuinely tough to remember. Game 1 (@BAL): Orioles win 6-4.  Dean Kremer vs. Michael (Wacha) Wacha. Kremer escapes a brutal 1st inning with two errors (Urias; Henderson). After that, the pitchers mostly cruise until T3, when Kremer gives up a bomb to Witt, followed by a walk and a Perez bomb for a 3-0 KC lead. The O’s bats storm back, matching those 3 runs in B4, with Rutschman double and a Mountcastle HR providing the highlights. Not much action until T8, when Cano gets into and works out of a huge jam (2nd and 3rd, none out) to preserve the tie. In B8, three singles culminate in a Mountcastle RBI to take the lead. Kimbrel promptly blows said lead in T9, giving up a single to Isbel and two mostly uncontested SBs to PR Blanco, who trots home on a sac fly. In B9, Mullins singles with one out against RP Nick Anderson and Westburg sends the fans home happy with an opposite field walk-off blast.  Game 2 (@BAL): Royals win 4-1 Cole Irvin vs. Alec Marsh. Much less intrigue in this one. Irvin didn’t have it, giving up four, that could have been more. Garcia did most of the damage, with a double and triple that brought home 3 runs. Marsh mostly stymied the O’s bats, with Cowser’s double in B3 providing the only run. Smith closed it out for KC. Game 3 (@ BAL): Orioles win 4-3 Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans. This one looked like it was headed the way of the visitors, as Ragans dominated through 6.1 innings of one-hit ball. The Royals had a load of traffic against Burnes, with 9 hits and a couple walks. The O’s did well to minimize the damage. Perez provided two RBI singles against Burnes, but his ponderous baserunning also kept him from scoring both times. KC added a 3rd run against Baumann in T7, on a homer by Garcia. Once Ragans finally exited, the O’s came alive, with RP James McArthur yielding two runs in B8. Cowser singled and was followed by a double from McCann. They each came home, on a Firestone by Henderson and a clutch 2-out single by Rutschman, to bring the score to 3-2. Smith again came on to close it out for KC, and he was greeted rudely. The bases were loaded for Cowser, who struck out. He was followed by McCann, however, who delivered the walk-off two-run single. Great rejoicing. Game 4 (@ KC): Royals win 9-4 Dean Kremer vs. Alec Marsh. Both guys largely matched what they’d done a couple weeks earlier. Kremer pitched into the 6th, with the only blemish until that point being a B4 solo shot by Pasquantino. Marsh pitched out of a couple jams, first picking off Henderson at 3B to snuff out a T1 2nd/3rd threat, then getting a popup from Mullins and a groundout from Cowser to escape a T4 bases loaded conundrum. B6 was a nightmare for the O’s, with Kremer getting two outs but also issuing two BBs. Akin was called on, and promptly set the whole thing ablaze, giving up RBI hits to Melendez, Massey, and Renfroe to make it 6-0. In T7, Rutschman answered with a grand slam off of possible double agent Smith to draw closer. But in B7, Melendez hit a 3-run bomb off of Tate to provide the final margin. Game 5 (@ KC): Orioles win 9-7 Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans. As expected, a pitcher’s duel. Ragans came out hot, striking out the side in T1. His luck turned, though, in T2. The Orioles BABIP’d him to death, recording 8 hits in the frame. A two-run single by Westburg made it 7-0 and sent Ragans to the showers. Burnes was solid, though unspectacular, until yielding a B6 Weaver to Perez that ended his night. After the O’s manufactured a run in T7, an uncharacteristically wild outing from Coulombe was followed by a characteristically wild outing from Yohan Ramirez, with yet another big hit from Perez providing 2 RBIs to close to 8-7. Kauffman was in a frenzy. In T8, though, Mountcastle and Santander slammed back-to-back doubles off RP John Schreiber to make it 9-7. Akin and Baumann survived the bottom of the order in B8, and Kimbrel closed it out in orderly fashion in T9. Game 6 (@ KC): Orioles win 5-0  Cole Irvin vs. Seth Lugo. A mismatch on paper, and indeed it proved to be. Irvin survived B1 turmoil and then absolutely locked things down. Lugo was ambushed with back-to-back blasts from Westburg and Cowser to start T3, and then pitched his way into trouble in T6. A triple (?) by Santander was followed by a Mountcastle RBI double. Eventually RP Angel Zerpa walked in another run, but he did dodge further damage by striking out both Holliday and Henderson with the bases still loaded. Urias provided the final blow with a T9 single that drove home Henderson, and the Orioles bullpen locked down the shutout.
