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.

      MLB changes record books..adds in Negro League stats

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Agreed, with the caveat that I'm not convinced that (for example) the 1927 Negro Leagues were a completely different quality of play compared to the 1927 AL/NL. My guess is that if the MLB quality was 1.00 and the International League was .90, then the Negro Leagues of that year were .97 or something.

      O's need a loonng start from Irvin today!

      They have to DFA Vieria today right? You can't carry this guy in a 30 game stretch that has started off with two short starts.

      I think pitcher's platoon splits can be larger, and not just due to random variation. Because pitchers can employ strategies that emphasize the platoon split, like throwing sidearm sweepers/sliders that are vastly more effective against same-sided hitters. Hitters really don't have the option of using some kind of strategy that is wildly more effective against one type of pitcher, or one hand of pitcher.

      Extend Burnes

      Considering our shallow starting pitching pool, should we put on a full court press to extend Corbin Burnes?

      With the caveats of my last post. Baseball is kind of unique in that Jorge Mateo and Adam Frazier can get as many chances to impact a game as Mike Trout. It's a little like a version of basketball where everyone on the court had to take at least 15% of the team's shots and nobody could take more than 25%. Or a version of football where you have five starting QBs, and they each only start once every five games. And all of them get 162 games to even out the luck. But, yes, variations in performance and randomness impact every sport.

      I think we're saying the same thing, or at least we rhyme. If they're going to include one league that has completely different quality of play, why not all leagues? Why stop at the Negro Leagues?

      Something I love about baseball

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Baseball is different from most other team sports in a number of key aspects: The number of trials. 162 games is a lot of games to have random variation smooth out. If you pick random 16-game stretches you'll have NFL-like outliers, such as teams going 15-1 or 1-15. Nobody goes 150-12. Pitchers are very limited in how much they can pitch. A 200-inning starter can only have so much impact. Hitters cannot get more than ~1/8th of a team's PAs. This and the prior point means that there's no way around having your 3rd- and 5th and even 14th-best players getting almost as much playing time as #1. So you end up with the most dominant teams usually not even winning 2/3rds of their games, wherein other sports you can have teams win 80% or more. Which makes baseball look more random. Contributing to this is the expanded playoffs, where a .600 vs .575 matchup is more-or-less a coin flip. I doubt most other sports have a situation where the obviously best team in the league has a 25%-ish shot of the Championship (in other words, a 75% chance of going home disappointed) on day one of the playoffs. In most soccer leagues the regular season champ is The Champ, so there's a 0% chance of that. The best team always takes a big trophy home.
