Cutters can be a good pitch, but a pitcher needs to have real good command of it because cutters left in the middle of the plate end up BP fastballs.

The question is why were the Orioles/Holt letting him/asking him to throw the cutter? I am less and less enamored with Holt as the year goes on.

Kremer also gets himself in trouble with his crappy cutter yet he can hit 97 up in the zone at times.

So that’s a wrap on Grayson’s regular season.  He went 7-4 and threw 122 major league innings at a 4.35 ERA, plus 41.1 AAA innings at a 1.98 ERA.  So, that’s 163.1 innings, plus whatever he throws in

That was a statement game from Grayson.  I’m not sure he’s arrived, but he’s on the train.

Growing pains are hard. But it sure looks like he has found his way back to being what he is supposed to be. That was quite an impressive outing.

He seems to be struggling throwing his slider & curve for strikes.  Consistently pulling them and leaving them low/outside.  Fastball looks live today sitting 96.  Has blown a couple guys away.  Looks like he is working on locating his off-speed stuff.

Sounds familiar.

Through 1.1, he was at 26 pitches and a 54% str%.

Through 4 IP, he is at 53 pitches (so 27 pitches to get the next 2.2 IP) and his str% is 66%. In those 27 pitches, his str% is 78%.

Complete turn around.  It’s like he can’t miss the strike zone in 3rd-5th.  Has dropped in a couple high curve balls for an easy strike.  He made a big adjustmenT mid game, good to see.

He seems to have first inning issues, which isn’t uncommon for pitchers.

15 pitch 5th inning. Str% up to 69%, 9Ks, 1 BB and nothing else.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.

      LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
