Tuesday, May 10: Orioles visit New Busch Stadium for the first time

11 strikeouts 

One of the best pitched games of the year by the Orioles and it's by a kid making his 3rd major league start.

I think Hyde says that with the 6th starter Thursday, whoever it may be, everyone is going to get an extra day.

So the next pitch Bradish throws might be Monday at 7:05 to DJ LeMahieu with Adley Rutschman behind the plate.

Bradish has his A stuff for sure. It was really good to see him shake off the inside the park HR. Instead of imploding like he did last game, he bore down. That's growth!

I remember you being down on his performance in his last start. Good to see that he can get back into your good graces. 😁

    • Last year Shohei held up the market until just after the winter meetings, but I think Soto and Burnes being so far ahead of the pack it could play out like the Cole/Strasburg/Rendon year where the top echelon went boom, boom, boom.  2024 winter meetings are December 9-12.     Boras has a lot of the cards at the top of the market.    A fly on the wall of Steve Cohen and David Stearns conversations how to be "smart", as Mike Elias put it, might hear interesting stuff. Elias has about 2 months to form recommendations with whatever budget there is.
    • It really does not matter how many times you say it or how many ways.  The Orioles have blocked prospects, but Holiday simply isn't one of em.  He got his shot earlier than anyone.  It din't work out.  Hopefully he will be good to go next year.
    • Sure. We have an extremely unbalanced, LH heavy lineup, especially in the OF. Mullins has established himself as a low .700 OPS guy at the plate, and will be walking at the end of the season. Might as well get something for him this offseason while making our roster more balanced.
    • Pulling on that trusty but extremely confusing data/graphic that @Tony-OH was referencing earlier, we see the following swing rates for Adley in the various zones (2022 / 2023 / 2024): Heart: 67% / 66% / 63% Shadow: 47% / 47% / 51% Chase: 19% / 18% / 26% Waste: 3% / 3% / 3% The short answer is that he did swing at a lot more bad pitches this year than he had before. And at less good pitches. One could probably quibble about whether shadow pitches are entirely “bad,” but there’s no doubt that pitches in the chase zone are just bad pitches to try to hit.
    • I love to watch a Staff NCO completely lose it on his crew when they underperform in a crucial scenario. It's a thing of beauty when you see a GySgt, a SFC or a chief petty officer just go off on his group. The language is colorful, the volume is peaked and the intimidation factor is at an alltime high. If you've never seen it before in person you just don't appreciate the impact.  I recall entering a squad bay as a young LT and seeing my HMC holding a young sailor about 4 inches off the ground by his neck.  The remaining members of the squad bay were standing at attention next to their racks. The Chief was "providing focused and explicit instruction," for the young seamen. The sailors all appeared to be paying absolute attention to the instruction while not uttering a single word. I apologized to them both for the interuption as I moved to the next squad bay.  As I left I made a mental note to myself to check the chief's footlocker for bodies.....
    • Yeah, everyone's different.  I can understand why a bad back and a bad hand would make someone an ineffective hitter. But Adley's chase rate went from 81st percentile to 47th percentile on statcast.
