4 innings 58 pitches and 4 K's for Rom. Hit 92 one the one reading given on the broadcast so far.

14 pitches without recording an out in the 5th inning.  Still a decent line on the night, but could have been better.   The reliever did a good job of keeping any more runs on the board that inning.

Rom went to alot of deep counts this game, only one Walk though so looks good on his stat sheet.

3.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 11.1 K/9, 3.6 K/BB.

The WHIP is a little high, driven by 22 hits in 20.1 IP.   But based on K’s, maybe a little unlucky.   

With an 11 K/9 rate, and a 0 HR rate, I'd imagine his FIP is better than his actually ERA, but I don't know where to find that for MiLers.

The WHIP is high, and I notice his BB/9 is a bit higher than it has been in the past.

For all the talk of him being "finesse," he's still missing a lot of bats.

His FIP is 2.18

Was placed on the 7-day IL on 7 May. His injury as usual is undisclosed.

The Lefty was coming ff his longest start of the season when he went 80 pitches over 5.1 IP, allowing just two runs. 

Rom has dominated lefties (.077/.143/.115/.258 in 28 PAs) this year but has struggled with right-handers (.370/.426/.407/.834 in 61 PAs) in his 5 starts. His lack of success against right-handers highlights his need for an effective consistent changeup. 

He has not allowed a home run in his  20.1 IP

He's pitching tonight.    At 30 IP, he is sitting 18th of 58 Eastern League pitchers in K-BB% in a start to the year probably not what he was hoping for.   But past whatever hiccup the recent injury was, and lot of season to go.

At age 22 that's young among the 30 IP Eastern League qualifiers get, and there's just a few that young ahead of him.

His Pitches/Turn down into the 60's YTD after 2019 and 2021 well above.

    • On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.
    • I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change. 
    • Actually 10 - I fat fingered the post button before I was ready.
    • This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing. 
    • 1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?
    • Hope to take my kids but it will depend on the ticket prices.  I couldn’t believe how expensive the tickets were when they were in DC
