Congratulations on your first win of 2022!

Ye olde Statcast readings of the 4-Seam Fastball as a multi-inning reliever:

Pitch 5 = 97.8

Pitch 11 = 97.1   (10 was a curveball)

Pitch 15 = 96.8

Pitch 20 = 97.9

Pitch 25 = 96.9

Pitch 30 = 95.8

Pitch 37 = 96.0  (last pitch of today)

Eight of the 10 fastest pitches in the game, with Jorge Lopez getting the other two.   Looking forward to seeing both in smaller niches!

I have not been high on Bauman at all this year.  Seen him pitch a couple times and he always seems to get hit hard.  Fastball looks super straight always.  Tonight, he is absolutely shoving.  11k's t

Hard not to like what I saw last night. Baumann sat 95-97, and was at 97 in the the 6th inning after 90+ pitches. His slider was diving pretty good and he was mixing in his curve and even a change on

You guys don't think it's too early to give up on him as a starter? He sustained his stuff so well late into games in 2019 (I guess that was? Because 2020 was cancelled for minors) that I think it would be a bit premature to give up on him as a starter now that he's got his stuff back.

I think it's something they will explore again in 2023, similar to Wells this year.

I think he can be a starter.   They are still building him up in terms of innings. But starter or reliever he can be an impact pitcher.

He’ll probably get the opportunity to pitch 2-4 innings in the early part of the year. It’s up to him if he’s a SP.

Here’s what I think: it’s a long season. I think before it’s over at least 10 and maybe 14 different pitchers will have started a game.    Last year 15 started a game, and 11 started at least 6 times.  Only 4 of the 15 were used exclusively as starters, and they accounted for only 73 starts.   So yes, I think Baumann could find himself being used as a starter some of the time.   Will he become a full time rotation guy?   Let’s see how he pitches.

I doubt they've ruled him out as a rotation candidate. Roch mentioned today the gut reaction would be to install him in the rotation now. I don't think it really matters with all the young guys going like max 65 pitches for the first part of the season. The stuff was great yesterday. Location seemed a bit erratic.

I think a lot about Freddy Peralta when I think about some of today's forward thinking organizations growing their top pitchers.   Between 2018 and 2020, all three years in the big leagues he worked a mix of SP and RP averaging about 85 innings/year (doing a back of napkin translation of 2020 to 162-game scale).

Baumann, Bradish, DL Hall...all the other guys a tick or two down...if they can hold their own I think that is what their 2022-2024's look like.

It would be nice if they could learn to pitch and not just throw hard.

I believe this is our biggest problem, teaching pitching.

Our guys just seems to lack command, and confidence in their stuff.

So what happened? He was good for an inning and then lost it? Box score didn't look too bad but I'd be curious to hear the eye test reports if anyone was watching.

He came in with runners on first and third with one out, and induced a double play that bailed out our starter, Chris Ellis.   But the next inning his command wasn’t good.   He walked one guy on four pitches, got behind on other hitters and allowed two hits including a screaming double in the gap that scored the two runs.   Bad location on his pitches in that inning did him in IMO.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Pretty funny that you talk about fear mantras.  Who is the one talking about “disastrous”, “not likely to go deep in the playoffs”, “limited ceiling like TB and Cleveland”, and so on? Great leadership starts at the top.  Great leaders realize they are not experts in a particular field and take the advice of their top experts.

      I know you and I have our different viewpoints and have our fair share of running disagreements. But I respect you opinion(s) believe it or not. Question - Let's just say (I'm not saying this will happen) but if we were to re-sign Santander to a 3-4 year market contract (I would argue we can more than afford since we are literally paying NO ONE). If that were to happen, doesn't that make one of Mayo or Basallo expendable? I say Santander because he is the kind of player (who is not a star) but you can project extracting value from him. Because in any era where counting stats are a little devalued, he gives you consistent home runs and rbis but not much OBP and some of his statcast numbers aren't that great. Plus he's a historical slow starter and a very streaky hitter, but he gives you that clutch/big game element as well. Is it possible that he is a late bloomer along the lines of say a Nelson Cruz/David Ortiz (obviously not as good as Ortiz)? Just something to think/talk about...

      A lot of it is folks didn't move down here being dedicated fans of whatever hockey team was their former home team. I don't see Islander hats, I don't see Penguin Hats, ect ect. It's a lot easier to make someone a Lightning fan if they don't have another allegiance. Before the Rays were here this area was mostly known for being the Spring Training home of the Yankees. Just yesterday I talked with a Philly fan and a Mets fan.

      Well if we trade Westburg, we still have Ortiz and really aren’t any worse off.

      It was prior ownership that mentioned wanting to follow the Rays model. The only thing Rubenstein has said is that he wants to bring a WS back to Baldimore and he's going to support Elias' vision in doing that. 2 and a half months isn't enough to judge what Rubenstein's plans are. We've seen him supporting the club more in that time than we did the entire time JA was running the show.

      I agree you don't want to go overboard, especially on rentals who will be gone after two months. However, within reason you do what you can to give yourself the best chance. Arguably Texas did go all in by signing Degrom.

      A big picture thing I wonder about is is Elias such a data gatherer and decision deferrer that he places any value on a view of the next CBA before making any of the biggest decisions. Is there expansion?     Does the MLBPA fight for service time revisions?     Does the league fight for a cap? I have very very low expectations, but for Orioles fans enjoying this roster it would be nice if the parties could not encumber the 2026-2027 winter with the dreadful stuff.     That possible timeline would put Adley 1 year away from free agency circa 3.15.2027 when the MLB and MLBPA announce agreement barely in time for an abbreviated spring training and without loss of any of the 162. What if you have two top-tier contracts for 2030 but aren't sure if Mayo or Basallo will leapfrog Holliday the same as Gunnar has perhaps leapfrogged Adley? A club can still win their franchise player on the open market as NYY did with Judge.
