I think it is will be really tough to let him stay one more start in AAA.  Adley was not hitting 300 plus when they called him up.  They had some wiggle room there but this kid has done everything there is to prove he is ready.   I will predict he starts Tuesday or Wednesday versus Seattle.  This is something they should announce tomorrow.  If they do I will buy tickets.

My observations, starting with a messy first inning: -- It was an hour-and-a-half rain delay on top of getting up early (out of his routine?) for the lovely "school daze" game (I used to love the

Can we just stop arguing about this over and over and over?   Can’t we just have a night where we enjoy a great start by our top pitching prospect?    Frankly, I’m thrilled.  My one worry about R

What I saw was a little shaky in the first inning, trouble locating. Second and third innings much sharper. Every pitch - curveball, breaking ball in the dirt, high fastball - was going right where he

I wonder what the last "body of work" shy of MLB pitching as good as this is.   

Japan Ohtani he was always dinged up.    Strasburg NCAA and briefly minors?

Rodriguez entering tonight was at 260 innings, 375 strikeouts and 2.46 ERA.

McClanahan as a first rounder coming through Rays system was 175 innings, 215 strikeouts and 3.02 ERA.

Gerrit minors was 230 innings, 210 strikeouts and 2.66 ERA.

Casey Mize 125 innings, 125 strikeouts and 2.91 ERA.

Hunter Greene and MacKenzie Gore either had bouts of injury and/or ineffectiveness.

 

It’s been a while, but Bumgarner had a pretty dominant run.

Great pull - 387 innings of 2.30 ERA and 352 strikeouts, plus bonus points for mid 1st round prep pitcher.

Man would he be nice to start Game 2 next season.    Maybe re-engage the old lion with an AL novelty late career.

Bumgarner's career has always been interesting to me in the sense that there were no worlds left for him to conquer after his age 24 season.    Bumgarner 8.1.1989 was barely older than Adley Rutschman is now when seizing his 3rd ring with the all-time October.

Only a little over 2 weeks and the O's avoid Super 2 status on GrayRod.  With this last start, it's starting to look suspicious that they are doing exactly that.  It's not like the O's could use another starter now with Means done for the season and Watkins on the IL and Bradish looking like crap.

No Statcast like in Charlotte last turn, but noticed in that highlight video the cut to the Norfolk in-house radar showing 97 in the 7th inning.

Obviously any heat 90+ pitches deep this summer is going to be measured, but fingers crossed next spring and summer circumstances will be such we'll really get to see what he can do.

Bring on June's handpicked set of games.

Last starting pitching prospect for the O's to be this dominant in AAA for the O's?  I don't think Bundy was this good.  Maybe Riley?

Rocky Coppinger, 1995?

Saw this from Melewski this morning:

“In his past five starts, Rodriguez is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.94. Over 28 2/3 innings, he has given up 14 hits and three runs with nine walks to 43 strikeouts. 

“In those five games, his pitch counts were 82, 81, 87, 86 and 88.”

Why wouldn’t you let him go another inning last night.  He has clearly built the count to where he should be able to get closer to 100.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...
