I was interested in seeing De Los Santos because I heard he had a good arm and I was not disappointed.

The 6-2, 250 righty sat mostly 94-95 from the radar gun readings (fell off to 92 around 45 pitches) given by the broadcaster. He looked like he had a slider that he struggled to command early on but it got better as his appearance went on. 

Delmarva does not appear to have a center field camera (they had one occasionally last year) so it's tough to see overall, but good arm strength and he works fast (something I love). 

Nice debut allowing just one earned run on one hit (a triple that was misplayed by RF) and three walks while striking out five in 3.1 IP. Obviously he's got a ways to go command and control wise, but he's the first pitcher I've seen in Delmarva this year worth keeping an eye on.

Terrific outing today, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 7 K’s.   He handled the six innings in a tidy 73 pitches.   Took the hard luck 1-0 loss.   

Yep.  That pitch count is extremely efficient.

Was he an international signing? Looks bound for Bowie if he continues this pace.

Yes. He's an international signee. Doubtful you see him in Bowie this year.  Maybe not even Aberdeen for awhile.

Keith Law was there for his last start and had this to say:

Juan De Los Santos, who was 89-96 mph and got some bad swings on the pitch, with an improving changeup and below-average slider. 

Sounds like still a work in progress, but time is on his side and the results have been good thus far.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Povich has better stuff than Matusz.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I don’t feel picked on — I didn’t offer much detail regarding the changes I am hoping for. If my initial post didn’t sound like it, I do have more patience (at least a little more) than most. It may take more than a minute to get depth in the bullpen or an offense that can adjust in crunch time. I get that. I’m not in the torches and pitchforks crowd, but the O’s can’t sit on their hands either. That’s closer to where I’m at.

      I kept hoping, for the sake of my own enjoyment, that I'd eventually come around after having to look at it often enough, but, no, I still think it's ugly as sin. And I hate how it plays.

      Yeah, but after he was called back up and changed his pitch mix, in his last 8 starts he had a 9.4 SO/9.

      I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.

      The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
