Matusz was drafted 4th overall, and his 2.1 rWAR ranks 28th among the 58 no. 4 picks.   Rom was picked 115th.   2.1 rWAR would rank him 6th among the 58 no. 115 picks. So yeah, matching Matu

Back on track tonight.  5 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 8 K's

Got what I was hoping for from Rom tonight, more or less.  5 shutout innings. 2 hits two walks 7 strikeouts.  ERA to 3.77.   That’s more like it.

Drew Rom is going tonight for Bowie and I hope he can get straightened out.   To start the season, he threw 20.1 innings in 5 starts to a 3.98 ERA, allowing a .650 OPSA and striking out 25.   Then he went on the IL for three weeks, for reasons unknown.

Since returning, he’s thrown 17.2 innings over 5 starts to a 4.58 ERA, allowing an .830 OPSA and striking out 22.

He’s taken a step back from last year when he finished very strong at Bowie.  I’m hoping for a course correction starting tonight.

Decent but not great outing for Rom tonight, 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K’s.  All three runs came on solo homers.  He’d only allowed 2 homers all season before tonight.  The best part is that Rom got through 6 innings on only 91 pitches, 62 for strikes.  I’ll take it as a positive outing despite the dingers.

Glass Half Full; among 54 Eastern League pitchers at 40+ IP ytd, only Joey Cantillo is younger than him and has a better K-BB%.

Among those 54, his .362 BABIP yielded is 4th worst.

Garrett Stallings and his delicious Hit Me strikes are 3rd worst, so it might not be all bad luck, but entering the year I certainly thought Rom had enough stuff to get by with.    Hoping he can pitch his way back to a forecast of maybe pitching more BAL innings than DL Hall across 2023-2029.

Anyone know why Rom is still listed for tonight even though he pitched last night? 

The O’s got tired of hearing about how they are babying their pitching prospects.  Let them start on consecutive nights like real men!

Rom threw 5.2 scoreless but then allowed a homer, a walk and two singles.  His reliever allowed another single that scored one of Rom’s runners so he ended up allowing 3 ER in 5.2 but I’d still call it a solid outing.   Just ran out of gas.

He hasn't taken a big leap forward this year, but I'd still count his year so far as adequate.  And I still believe he has a solid chance to be a future ML starter.

Meh. I'd say barely adequate, but maybe it's because of whatever put him on the IL for a few weeks.

The goal isn't to be a good AA starter. If that was the goal, I'd agree he's been adequate.

How are you defining solid?  I’d say his chances are 5% at best.

He probably hasn't pitched 50% of his yearly innings yet so we'll see where his year goes from here.

His ERA isn't shining, but it isn't terrible, and his peripherals are pretty strong.  11 k/9 rate belying much of the finesse pitcher label he's been tagged with.  HR under 1 per 9.  The major are he's really take a step back in is his control, which has never really been an issue before.  Maybe it's a matter of chasing Ks.  IDK.

We could debate what adequate means until the cows come home, but for me, he certainly hasn't pitched himself off of any prospect lists.

If you're going to put a number on it I probably think it's higher than your number but solid in this relative sense would still be a pretty low number.  I certainly don't think he has an above 50% chance of making it as a ML starter.

I guess, my point, is my evaluation of him hasn't been altered all that much this year.  He hasn't had a breakout season, but again, he hasn't imo "pitched himself off" of being considered a prospect.

      I do remember seeing that Basallo went #1 overall in the winter league draft last year. So that will probably be where he ends up. Heck, that’s probably better competition.

      I don't think it's as lop-sided as you seem to.   Pre-roid it's close to a bump.  30/30 to 40/40 range in those years for Bonds.   Sure Ohtani could be using similar types of supplements result wise but the focused workouts would look different for Ohtani if he's not pitching.

      If you can get him on a 3-4 year deal at $20m or less, it's interesting. But here's the rub w/ Santander: yeah, he's a SH. That's great. And he generally has even splits. But he's not great defensively. He reminds me of a SH Nelson Cruz but without the batting average or OBP. I'm not so sure that ages well. I'd extend the QO and pursue a number of other of other options.  To me, it's better to get the draft pick and, say, sign a guy like Tyler O'Neill, Joc Pederson, or Jurickson Profar as your DH/OF type and maybe give RF to Kjerstad.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I'm bringing back: Offense/Defense C - Adley SS - Gunnar 3B - Westburg 2B - Holliday 1B - Mountcastle DH - Kjerstad LF - Cowser CF - Cowser/Mullins RF - ? Backup OF - ? Backup C - ? Utility - Urias Starting Pitchers SP1: Eflin SP2: Grayson SP3: Acquire somebody SP4: Kremer SP5: Suarez Relievers Closer: Felix Setup: Cano Late Relief: Webb Late Relief: Coulombe Late Relief: Perez Middle/Long Relief: Akin Reliever: ? Reliever: ? Depth SP: Povich, McDermott, Rogers RP: McDermott I'm bringing back, but not giving a spot to: Mayo Rogers Guys I'm giving a QO offer to: Burnes Santander - I really go back and forth with Santander. He's not great in the outfield. His average and OBP is a liability. But his power is prolific. Does that age well? I don't think so. I'd extend the QO and move on. I'm not bringing back: Mateo - had surgery at the end of August, could he be back in the middle of the season next year? Sure, but he's a FA after next season, and paying over $3m for a guy that might not play nor be effective isn't an adequate use of money Dominguez - I could be convinced to keep him if we're desperate Soto - was a poor acquisition not just because of the talent given up, but because he was always a situational guy with control issues O'Hearn - $8m for a guy that really shouldn't be in the field and can only hit righties is a lot of loot Santander - Give a QO, move on Eloy - Duh This means we need to acquire the following: Starting Pitcher(s) The O's can't go into next season giving Povich a spot and they definitely can not give a spot to Rogers. Rogers needs to be a deep depth arm until he showcases an increase in velocity and/or incredible promise that he can be serviceable and not a WHIP disaster who can barely go 5. Targets: Snell, Burnes, Fried, Wacha, Severino, Morton, etc.  Reliever(s) No more Phillies castoffs. No more waiver wire, dumpster diving for the entire bullpen. No more washed up vets.  Targets: David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Blake Treinen, Andrew Kittredge, Tanner Scott, etc. Position Player(s) Backup C (give more time to the backup if a better hitter so Adley can be fresh throughout year) Targets: Elias Diaz, Travis d'Arnaud (although I reckon the Braves pickup his option), Jacob Stallings. I guess if they're desperate they can stick with Blake Hunt (in the minors) Corner OF We could always acquire a bat first OF and then put Kjerstad in the OF. Targets: Tyler O'Neill, Jurickson Profar, Joc Pederson, etc. Backup OF Could be Mullins if they, say, call up Beavers and sign another OF, otherwise these are a dime a dozen out there. Just get somebody that can platoon since it's a heavy LHH OF right now. I'd entertain the O's calling up Beavers.

      I don't think Davis continued to put in the same level of effort on his fitness after he signed the huge deal.

      I think he easily surpasses 3/$55 million in this year's market, so it's kind of a moot point. "QO, take it or leave it" is still my final answer.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I would bet there are people in their mid to late 40's that don't remember the O's World Series win.  My dad wasn't a big sports guy and back then family's had one TV.  I don't remember much about sports before the O's coming up just short in 1982.  Definitely don't remember 1979 World Series even though I was 9.
