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.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
