Relieved GRod tonight and was terrible.

No idea why they used him that way though.  

To keep him pitching on his regular day, I assume.  Grayson was never going to throw more than 3 innings so there were always going to be plenty of innings for Povich to piggyback.  

His command wasn’t good and the ump had a tight strike zone.  He also was victimized by a very good bunt with a runner on 1st and nobody out.   Handley made a nice play to try to get the batter but he beat it by a half-step.

Povich gets the ball for the Tuesday-Sunday two step at Akron with an opportunity to pitch the Baysox into the Eastern League playoffs.

Norby, Mayo and Williams all reached and scored in the top of the 1st to give him at least three runs to work with out of the gate.

Not ruling out a jump in ability in 2023, but I feel like he’ll be a 2024 guy for the Os. I don’t think he has the physicality quite yet. Saying that, the analytics guys will get ahold of him this off-season, so maybe the jump happens sooner. I just feel like he needs time.

He has been pretty underwhelming since going to AA, so I tend to agree.  I’m guessing he starts in AA next year but I guess that depends on what happens this offseason and how he looks in camp.

Long lefty...  

 

Thanks. Reminds me a bit of Matusz in both body and action to the plate. I did notice that despite the strikeouts there are a ton of guys on base in most of the clips. Might be because of the amount of traffic but I was waiting to see the difference between his windup and stretch but it looks like he was pitching exclusively from the stretch even without guys on base.

    • 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...
