Cade Povich 2022


Just Regular

Recommended Posts

What an exciting development!  I’m gonna go back and watch that game.  I saw he was starting but didn’t have time to watch last night.  I guess Elias wasn’t blowing smoke when he made those strong comments on his ability.

Well look..He was drafted out of college and is an older guy playing in A ball.

I think you obviously like what he did but my excitement about him And the realization of whether Elias’ comments are true or not will come as he moves up the ladder.

If he is pitching at a high level in AA and AAA, that’s where we get really start to get excited.  I hope they can get him to AA this year and let him get some starts up there.

Elias was in the booth today for an inning and he specifically mentioned Povich as someone who could move through the system fast and could impact the major league team next year.

He talked about how some college pitchers see a drop in their velo when they turn pro and start having to pitch more than once a week, while others see an improvement in their velocity.   He cited it as a reason he likes to trade for guys who wer college pitchers a year or two after they were drafted, he can get a better read on what they really are going to be like.

Interesting.  Iirc, the drop in velo is something Matusz experienced.

Not sure who this guy is although I see Luke and Tony follow him.  Have come across some of his tweets and he seems like he knows what he is talking about.

Except he says Povich is a hitter, LOL. :)

Thanks for sharing this nugget which basically sits at the core of the strategy we've seen. That is, draft and develop our own college or advanced HS hitters for maximum floor and minimum attrition; and let other teams sort through their pitching inventory so we can lean over the fence and then pluck those we see have optimum chances of success in our system.

    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
    • Should probably move this to the minors section.  I don't see him in the majors again this season.
