Got the start in the second game of the season for Aberdeen. Went 4 innings, with 4 hits (1 hr), 2 walks and 4 strike outs. Was missing a little but limited any real damage as the home run was a solo shot and the only run allowed. 
 

He piggybacked with Zack Peek last season towards the end of the year in Delmarva and had a lot of great games (including a combined 1 hitter). 
 

While he didn’t seem “comfortable” this game, he did get tuned in after a long first inning. Interested in seeing how he progresses this season in an…Interesting…Aberdeen rotation.

Went 5 innings tonight. 4 strike outs, 0 walks, 4 hits, 0 runs. Picked off a runner at first after a fielding error by the first baseman. Came out after 50 pitches for the rehabbing Rico Garcia (who?)

In 3 of his 4 starts this season, has allowed 1 run or less.

I'm excited about this. More arms that do well = Good.

Forgot to update this...

Houston went 5.1 innings tonight, giving up 3 hits (2 in his final third of an inning), 2 runs (both scored after he was pulled and Ricky Ramierez walked the bases loaded, then allowed a sac fly and double), 1 walk and 6 strike outs.

He is currently 3-0 with 30 strike outs in 32 innings, with a 1.09 WHIP, with 11 walks. He does need to drop the walk rate, but he's been looking good this season except 1 game. The last two games, the runs have been scored against the reliever.

All the Aberdeen guys (including Ignacio Feliz along with the starters) are doing pretty well in kind of a way that gives me hope in May 2024 the Orioles will enjoy something better than Spenser Watkins if they have to go that deep down the talent pool by necessity of injury instead of strategic choice.

I think in 2-4 years, you'll see a lot of the pitchers in Aberdeen currently either being on the main roster or being some good depth at Norfolk for some fresh bullpen/swingman arms.

3 IP, 2 hits,  0 walks, 0 runs, 5 strike outs.

Seems like he is piggybacking now, but has been pretty good with it. Previous outing was 3 IP, 1 hit, 1 run, 2 walks and 7 strike outs.

When he's on, he's on. When he isn't, he isn't. Would like a little more consistency, but with his K numbers (80 in 70 innings) and his age (24), I'd like to see him go to Bowie and come out of the pen and see if his stuff plays up a bit more.

      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.

      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.

      Congratulations Yankees

      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...
