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

    • I'm not convinced Yankee bias is as much a thing in award voting these days (including the All Star game). I can't think of any recent instances where a Yankee won a big award unduly.
    • He’s baaaack. DH for the FCL Orioles.  Walked his first time up.   The FCL Orioles have no other place for rehab games.  This is it!
    • Rodon has had two bad/blow up starts (one against us and one on Sat night against the Red Sox) in his last ELEVEN. 9 of those 11 starts were quality starts. Of those 9 quality starts, he actually (himself) not the team, won 8 of those games. I know it's 2024 and pitcher wins are discounted. But that is still uber impressive to me. To have 9 out of 11 games be quality starts is ace like IMO. So yes I would rather have the guy with 9 out of 11 quality starts as opposed to the guy with ZERO, the guy with FOUR, and the guy (who albeit was hurt for some of that time) has THREE. Rodon has more quality starts in that stretch than all 3 COMBINED. Of course, I know the counter argument could be that he has just been lucky and his peripherals aren't as good as he has pitched. For me, I would love for our guys to get that "lucky" consistently.
    • The way Gil is pitching right now is elite and if they don't throttle him back as innings are likely to be a concern at some point this summer according to YES and the NY media, and Gil keeps up what he's doing it will have nothing to do with the Yankee factor. He essentially replaced Cole while he was hurt and is putting a Cy Young season together.
    • I'll believe it if he signs it, too.   If he wins the MVP this year, that contract is going to have to be higher than the BWJ contract, too.  
    • Any talk of RotY probability has to factor in that Gil is a Yankee and the voting will likely be biased by that. If Gil keeps pitching well no one else has a chance, and he’ll have to drop off a good bit to open the door IMO.    Maybe I’m putting too much stock into the Yankee thing, but I don’t think so. Media guys love them some Yanks. 
    • Wait, there’s a ZERO chance he turns down the Witt contract.   Haven’t you heard?   Not that they will offer him the Witt contract.
