Hanifee made his full season affiliate debut tonight for Aberdeen, allowing 1 run in 2.2 IP on 3 hits and a walk.  He threw 50 pitches, 31 for strikes.  Glad to see him on the comeback trail. 

Trouble in the first inning and control issues in the 3rd, but a good second with 2k’s and a ground out. Still holding out hope for this guy, give me a heavy sinker out of the BP.

Forgot about him honestly. He was a third rounder I think. I wonder if he has a successful comeback this year where he would fill into our top prospects?

He wouldn’t at this point. I’d argue he has top 15 upside based on his old profile, but I think that’s very low probability, especially this year.

Really nice outing.  First inning clean, 1-2-3.  Second marred by some sloppy defense behind him, giving up one run.  Third inning was three-up, three-down with the first two batters striking out on three pitches each, the third out on a called strike three.

3.0IP 3H 1ER 1BB 6K 

48 pitches, 31 for strikes  

No pitch velocities called by the broadcaster Matt Sabados, but there was a decent mix of fastballs and breaking balls used to get those Ks. 

(Sidebar - Cowser is like this immense presence in CF, even if long and lanky. Yikes)

From the Baysox:

Quote

Making his second start with Bowie, Brenan Hanifee tossed another three innings, but allowed an early game-tying run when Armani smith singled in a run. Following the single, Hanifee retired the final seven batters faced to close his brief start.

He didn't look very sharp in that first inning, but had some good swings-and-misses on his breaking balls low and away to right-handers. The single that scored the run was a 2-out, 2-strike comebacker that was probably 35 mph exit velocity (just kidding sortof) that I feel he should've fielded to get himself out of the jam he'd gotten into with the walk and single to lead off (deep breath since that was really long-winded), but he didn't react well. 

To redeem himself, he fielded cleanly another slow comebacker to end the 2nd. 

His fastball was 91-93, and it looked like he had reasonable command of all of his pitches, just not a lot of "zing" to any of them. Still, nice and smooth for those last 7 batters he faced. 

Final line 3IP, 2H, 1ER, 1BB, 3K

Was good to be reminded, as we're all aware, that coming into last night's game he'd only thrown 8-2/3 innings this season, his first innings pitched since the end of 2019 in Frederick.

Guess he’s still viewed as a starter, which why not until he can’t. There was chatter around here about him turning into a reliever a couple years back. Would be nice to have another Akin type if nothing else.

Overall, I’m pleased how his recovery is progressing.  He doesn’t look perfect but who would after that long a layoff plus surgery?   Hopefully he can build up to 90 pitches or whatever and finish out the season.  One thing I liked about Hanifee before his injury is he was very pitch-efficient, often getting to the 6th or 7th inning.  Not sure they’ll let him do that this year.

Hanifee had a solid outing yesterday, 5 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K’s.  That’s three good outings in a row for him.  Nice to see him bouncing back well from TJ surgery.  He’s also back to being very pitch efficient, throwing only about 14 pitches per inning in his last three starts.  I think if he finishes the year well he’ll start in Norfolk next year.

      I would say it’s without a doubt better competition.   Many current and former ML players in the winter leagues.   The Arizona Fall League is basically AA.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Say O! · Posted

      Per CBA rules, hasn’t most (90%) of the deferred buyouts have to be already set aside in present value?  This is why not shown in the payments itemization.  Same with Bobby Bonilla for NYM and why Shohei Ohtani shown in terms of AAV present value.

      Are we at the point that we want to give the backup catcher 225-250 PAs? If that's the case, I'd like to see an upgrade from McCann.

      With another 1.5 months of performance results...

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      1.5 months of data shouldn't make any difference. These guys have too much upside to trade. I'm most concerned about Mayo, more due to lack of position than the early hitting results. Still, no regrets even if Skubal was available, which I highly doubt

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I'm not in the group that expected us to miss the playoffs a few days ago.  This thread was a bit silly at the time, and has now become completely irrelevant.  But stating we are going to win 5 of the next 9 games as a fact, is just as ignorant as the people who think we are going to lose out or continue the tailspin to the point that we will miss the playoffs.  As much as I can't stand constant negativity, I also can't stand people who have no tolerance for any negativity, or pessimism, or whatever you want to call it.  If you just want to be a part of a cheerleading group and resent any criticism of the team, a hardcore fan message board is probably not the place for you.  Not just speaking to this poster, but as a retort to similar opinions in general.

      Would the team be any better off with Skubal than they are now, considering the hitting woes?  I think that’s debatable, and questionable enough that I wouldn’t give up that high level talent to find out.    Who knows if the Tigers would have even done that?  They’ve made a nice run behind Skubal and the rest of their staff since the deadline. I think it’s a good chance they extend him to lead that young team into the next several years of what they hope are contending teams. Decent position player pool there.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The Tigers are a fun story, reminiscent of the ‘22 birds a little bit (if that team had had a CY winner heading the rotation). But we need to end the dream for them this weekend. Take care of business versus Detroit and next weeks games will hardly matter. We can get our staff set up for the WC series after their next turn. That would be ideal.
