Houston Roth 2022

Recommended Posts

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.

    • The at-bat by Cowser may have been the worst at bat I've ever seen given the moment. He made his mind up he was swinging before the pitcher even released the ball. Struck out swinging on a pitch that hit him with the bases loaded and broke his hand all on the same play.
    • I'm totally comfortable calling a team that has won 192 regular season wins and has an 0-5 playoff record an epic failure. The team had a superior record to the Rangers last year. They just got swept at home to a team that was 4-9 down the stretch. Do you believe the those two teams had a better team? I don't. If that isn't an epic failure, what is it to you?
    • Just because the players like him and each other doesn’t necessarily mean the culture is good though. They definitely loved each other in that clubhouse, but does a very talented team with a strong culture go winless in their 5 most important games over the last 2 seasons? Or completely unravel in seemingly every pressure situation? I would argue no. After calming down a bit from the disappointment of the last 3 months, I feel pretty indifferent towards Hyde. If he’s gone, I think it’s because the team just mentally broke at some point and never recovered, and bringing in someone new would likely be a kick in the ass that their play got their well liked manager fired. If he’s back, I don’t have any concerns with him. 
    • This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Classic “CYA” by these clowns. They’ll announce Adley was injured and crow on and on about how we’re getting guys back next year and they’ll look to “enhance” the roster. YAWN.
    • 8M is a bit expensive for that HR rate.  Interested to see what they do there, unless folks think it is obvious he will not be retained.
    • They need 1 top end RP, one top end SP, a depth SP option, and a righty that can mash lefties.  Should be doable but pitching will be expensive.  Would also be nice to see extensions for some of the core and investment in upgrades to the stadium.  From an organizational standpoint, really need to start seeing some benefits at the MLB level from the international player development side of things.
    • This really sums it up. I thought Waltimore was a good idea, but then they constructed the lineup with a bunch of LHH that can't hit lefties well enough to take advantage of RF. And the RHH bats were neutralized because they are largely pull guys that don't have a consistent ability to slap oppo and they didn't have consistent enough super strength to take it over Waltimore.  So while Waltimore did help neutralize opposing offenses, in the process it did the same to the O's and teams with LHPs in rotations or the bullpen could easily take down the O's.  I do wonder if they split the gap and maybe bring the wall in 15-20 feet, but still keep the height.
