The fact that Altuve was as fooled and flailing in his fourth at-bat against Bradish I'll take as an omen that his ability can deepen and last--not a flash in the pan, not a once or twice through the order-only pitcher. On the replay it was fun to see Altuve give a gaping "Wow!" in admiration while still in the middle of his swing and miss.

I saw that.. lol

Just in case anyone missed how good his slider was last night, here's some highlights.

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

Thanks. Interesting to see how Dusty Baker tried to downplay it in his post-game presser (it's in the MLB.com highlights). According to him, Bradish was wild in the strike zone with his fastball and the shutout was merely a matter of his hitters not having faced him before. We shall see....

I don't think Elias is going to trade any of these young arms unless he gets an incredible haul for one.  You can't have too many competitive arms in an organization.  When Elias thinks we're ready for a World Series run he'll go free agency for a top gun.

I'm just surprised Dusty stopped wearing his mask in the dugout finally. I don't take too much out of what he has to say. Basically he just claimed his team has terrible advanced scouting if he's saying its because they've never faced him before. It really is shocking that an organization that has been so advanced would have such an old school manager.

I think the Astros decided it was the best way to adopt a "too confused to cheat or lie"-face in the aftermath of a serious scandal that still has baseball fans all over the country hating them.

The hiring was a PR move.

Baseball not coming clean with how pervasive the cheating was is the reason some fans have an issue with them.

Dusty has a pretty good track record.  Players like him.  Is he a bit of a seat of the pants manager?  Yes, but he’s managed a lot of winning teams.

I always thought we needed to aim for two quality starting pitchers in free agency or by trade this offseason. But with the emergence of Bradish, there may be room for only one:

Wells, Kremer, Bradish, Rodriguez, ?

It's also going to be tough not to give Voth a chance if he keeps it up.  Coming up on half a season as a starter with a sub-3 ERA.  We could also have Means returning at some point. 

Who could have ever imagined we would be in this situation a year ago?

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
