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.

Definitely worth a follow. A lot of good insight and observations.

Elias is a clever, clever man.  

I have slowly come of the mind that Elias knows what he is doing.  I feel he is probably the smartest guy in the room whatever room he enters.   He is young, smart and driven to succeed.  And I honestly think he just loves Baseball.

Just gave up a 2 run homer.  5ks through 3 though. 

Pitched really well.  Couldn’t full on scout with a four year old running around but sat 91-94 with some kiddy-up.  Really just the one mistake but to be fair, Enrico Pallazo was behind home plate.  Everyone was complaining about the strike zone, well not the pitchers.

Solid AA debut.  5ip 3h 2r 6k 2bb on 47/79.  If you haven't seen this guy pitch yet, he's a tall lefty and really hides the ball well.  Didn't have his best control and fell behind a lot of batters, but had some pretty nasty stuff the guys were having trouble squaring up.

Curious if anyone can compare his profile to Drew Rom? Off the bat, Povich has more zip on his fastball with the potential to add more.

I've never watched Povich pitch, other than the short clips posted here, but it's an interesting thought-comparison, Rom is less than 4 months older than Povich, and has more than 3 times as many professional innings under his belt due to being drafted out of HS. ERA's are similar (Rom is about 0.3 runs lower), their BB/9 rate is basically the same, as is their HR/9. Povich has a higher K/9 rate at 12.5/9 against Rom's 10.6/9. Povich currently has more even splits against RH/LH batters (something that makes me wary about dominate MiLB LHP starters after watching Matusz). He's got a pretty even sub-.700 OPS against split against both sides, slightly better against LH's as you'd expect. Rom has a .200 OPS difference with RHs hitting him over .800 OPS/against for his career with LHs at less than .650.

In terms of actual stuff and shape of pitches, control, command, and velocity. I imagine Tony can speak more to that.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • 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...
