Grayson has been allowed to go seven innings twice in his career, so I wouldn't hold my breath for that. The past three starts have been six innings, so I would think that's the ask.

He’d be allowed to go  15 innings if his pitch count was low enough

Grayson pitching tonight,weather permitting in the future home of the Orioles. 

And Cole Irvin got a tune up inning today in garbage time.    ESPN now has a blank for one of the next five games starting Friday.

Maybe he can do enough tonight to get near the finish line of his reset, or at least the random mop up appearance could give him a little extra juice.

I have a strange feeling that the Orioles will be playing a DH,either straight or day/night in the next week.

Just gave up two runs in the third (one earned) and is through 70 pitches. All of the balls were on the infield dirt, but he didn't help himself with two walks.

One of the runners who reached was Sal Frelick, who might have the best bat-to-ball skills in all of the minors. Mountcastle couldn't short hop it and was charged with an error. Norby too slow on another grounder up the middle that I feel Ortiz probably gets to.

Only had a 60% str% in his first 51 pitches.

The next 41 pitches, his str% was 68%.

His starts are so off that it’s really effecting his numbers in totality. 

Kind of similar to how guys in Norfolk have talked about how good he is at working himself out of jams. Looked at another way, they're implying he starts off slowly before snapping out of it.

He's just inconsistent and that's probably not going to change any time soon but they might as well bring him back. At least there's a chance we'll get the good version. With Irvin you know you're not going to get much.

Isn’t G-Rod going to have an innings cap?   Maybe have Irvin as the 5 and G-Rod back up if there is a problem

    • On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.
    • I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change. 
    • Actually 10 - I fat fingered the post button before I was ready.
    • This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing. 
    • 1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?
    • Hope to take my kids but it will depend on the ticket prices.  I couldn’t believe how expensive the tickets were when they were in DC
