Grayson Rodriguez 2022

[emmett16]

Was really hoping he’d get called up for Fridays game (I have tix).   Oh well.

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.

It's pretty clear they will wait for this now. As much as he's ready, why would they not wait two more weeks and avoid that Super 2 status?

Because it'd be the wrong thing to do.  /s

In your opinion. From a business standpoint, which the Orioles are a business and Elias knows this very well, it makes total sense at this point.

I'd like to see him pitching in the majors as soon as possible, but I understand from the Orioles business side that they are not going to promote him before then when they are so close.

I agree the Super 2 may be a small part of the delay and I agree that the business side is a big part of it but I have a different take.

Elias has waited all this time to get a 7th year of Grayson.   But Elias is still not comfortable he has that in the bag yet.   The thing about Grayson being the top rated pitcher in the minors is that it makes him a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year.   If he ends up in the top two at the end of the season there goes the 7th year.

If you look at the Rookie candidates there is not someone that Grayson could not pass during the season for ROY.  Not yet.   Joe Ryan is doing well.  Most of the hitters have had slow starts.   And rookies go into slumps so nothing is in the bag yet if Grayson comes up and has a fast start.

I would not doubt this as well which is why after the All-Star break unfortunately could be the time he brings him up. Saying that, if he keeps dominating, I think once he thinks he has super 2 avoidance in the bag, he'll bring him up.

Damn, I have dinner plans tonight.   Maybe I’ll be able to catch an inning or two before I go.

A choice between eating and watching the O's Top Pitching Prospect.   We will see  where your priority are.

Having a previously arranged dinner with a student I mentored during law school and who recently graduated.   Yeah, I think it’s a higher priority than watching Rodriguez pitch another AAA game.  But I wish I could do both.   This dinner already got postponed once.

Final AAA start I think. He'll be up for Wed June 8.

Dinner and watching milb together.  Why make a choice.

If it is because of the Super 2, then maybe June 17th against Tampa when they come home next.

Jacksonville is swinging early. Wonder if that's their plan or just coincidence so far.

[nevadaO]

Leadoff double lead to nothing as a grounder and 2 fly outs got Grayson out of the inning. 

 

If he's still here next time through the rotation I'll be going to see him pitch.
