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.

I would have.   At least, let him start the inning and see how it goes.   Let’s face it, the O’s have been super-conservative on pitch counts the last two years, especially with Rodriguez.

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

In what I hope are the last links to Grayson running circles around all the other pitchers in the league he is in as he has done  in every league in which he has pitched these last couple years, here is this morning's, showing him up 32-24-22.  Good on the Tides social media for touting the Kyle Muller matchup last night, had not realized he is perhaps the favorite to be International League Pitcher of the Year in 2022.

The 8.1% margin between 1st and 2nd place is the same as the margin between 2nd and 15th.

For posterity's sake, here is AA in 2021 and 70 innings (delta between 1st/2nd equals delta between 2nd and 29th)

And here is A+ ball in 2021 and 20 innings, where the smaller sample size and relievers qualifying helped some others to keep up.

Lastly 2021-2022 All Affiliated Minor Leagues, 100 innings.

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.

Not sure why the Orioles wouldn't want to wait two more weeks - with three more starts - if it means avoiding Super 2 status

Not sure, in the big picture, that there is any significant difference in 10 starts at AAA compared to 15. Plus, it always sounds like people who judge what's "right and wrong" sound a little like they have a God complex.

I think folks who judge folks who judge what right and wrong are just as bad.  😉

I believe he means morally wrong to keep a guy in the minors when he’s ready for the majors, to deprive him of earning more money.  

I don’t necessarily agree with him, but I certainly don’t think he has a “God complex.”

      Heyman: O’s Acquire Julio Teheran on minor league deal

      By interloper · Posted

      Definitely think Povich will be up within the next week at most. I think they still want to try this 6-man rotation in the most grueling part of their schedule in a bid to keep guys fresh and healthy.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By interloper · Posted

      Thinking about bullpen trade acquisitions is interesting because of these two opposing truths: Fujinami/Flaherty trade Burnes trade Extremely different trades with extremely different talent levels.  I certainly hope Elias isn't messing around this year at the deadline, but his deadline track record consists of his two worst trades as a GM. But his most recent trade was one of his best and most impactful.  Which Elias are we going to get?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I'm pretty sure the Pirates hang up on us unless we're willing to offer something like Holliday + Mayo/Basallo for Skenes, and that would be just nuts.

      I like stories like this one about Tony and Jorge playing chess together in the clubhouse that Roch posted on his twitter today, so I'll put it here. https://www.masnsports.com/blog/santander-and-mateo-chess-mates-in-orioles-clubhouse

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      By Too Tall · Posted

      It all depends on who and how structured. Gunnar for example is a generational talent who plays with his hair on fire. Will that lead to injuries as years pass? IMO, you offer Gunnar/Boras a good 10 year deal with an opt out at his age 29 year if necessary. Pay for the 20's and pass pretty much on the 30's. Probably a no deal but that's me. I also avoid long term deals (over three to four years) with pitchers because they are fragile and seemingly getting more so. All the above is why I am not a GM or play one on this site or TV. If the Orioles look to reach and sustain a 150 to 175 mil contract on average going forward, I can see having two fairly large long term deals within that context. I also see Elias doing that in a practical matter with long range balance in mind. Question - how much or what percent of payroll is practical to commit to 2/26 of your roster? IMO, no perfect answer because there are so many variables. Again, why I am not a GM.

      O'Hearn vs Mountcastle vs Mayo vs Kjerstad

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      O’Hearn has a 124 wRC+ but his xwOBA is in the 93rd percentile. His xBA is .297 and xSLG is .548. Mountcastle has a 130 wRC+ and is in the 76th percentile in xwOBA. His actual wOBA is almost identical to his expected one.  It’s hard to imagine either Mayo or Kjerstad  performing better than either of them the rest of this season as rookies (Gunnar had a 124 wRC+ from 2022-2023 for example).  I foresee both of them being on the team next year unless a trade occurs, but I would lean more towards Mayo making an impact this year. Mainly due to the fact he might be able to play 3B and he’d be more useful as a DH considering they could use another RH bat more than a LH one.

      There is little chance that O’Hearn’s role would change based on another .653 month.  Two more months, maybe.   I note that O’Hearn only struck out 9 times in 83 PA in May despite his low OPS.  Suggests to me that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with him, he just wasn’t squaring some balls up.   I feel good about his chances of turning that around.
