AAA debut a mixed bag - just 1 run and 9 strikeouts in 4.2 innings, but also four walks.

 

I’d call it pretty good.  2 of the walks were in the final frame, along with a single that knocked in the one run he allowed.  Considering it was his first AAA game, I’m pretty happy with it.

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.

I'm more disappointed he couldn't complete 5 than happy he struck out 9.

Rom had a brilliant outing tonight.  7 shutout innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 7 K’s.  Only threw 92 pitches.  His ERA since his Norfolk promotion is 1.66.  Rom should have at least two outings remaining, possibly three.   Don’t count go out as our MiL pitcher of the year just yet.

Really encouraging.    Rom is kind of repeating the Westburg thing where flushing some mediocre Bowie stats and starting again from zeros at AAA has let him pretty up the statline.

It is meaningless and arbitrary accounting, but up to 25-8 in his minor league career.    Pitching to the score isn't a thing, right?   :)

Link is 2022 Norfolk Arms with 20 innings - he's close to Hall/Baumann in second tier behind Grayson/Vespi in K-BB%

I'll need to go back and watch his last couple of starts to see how he's getting his outs, including his WHIFF. I'm hoping to see he's doing it with some changeups but his change in Bowie was quite terrible.

Look at the pitch at the 13-14 second mark.  Looks like a really good changeup. 4th pitch in sequence.

Dang, that's the lowest-effort delivery I've seen from a lefty since Brian Matusz. Rom has to be able to throw harder than he does

I wonder if he even matches Matusz’s career.

4th round picks dream of having a career like Matusz's. If he turns into Matusz, I could be okay with that

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 Matusz’s career would be an extremely good outcome for Rom.  But of course, I’m hoping for more.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
