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.

I wonder what they did different to get him back on track. I see someone  like Manoah from the BlueJays or Taj Bradley from Tampa sent to the minors, the stints did not really help them.

During the FS1 broadcast last night, Verducci noted in a side-by-side that Grayson changed his starting position with his hands/glove (much lower now, waist height compared to upper chest height earlier).  Verducci posited that this had two fold effect (1) masking any sign of tipped pitches which he implied was issue early in season, and (2) actually improved velocity on FB.

to me, hitters still pick up on the change-up more so than I would expect for quality of stuff.  In terms of rest of pitches last night, FB velocity was great, just barely missing location wise and breaking ball was sharp aside from hanger to Grichuck.

No he isn’t. 

He's in the AAA rotation and based on Pipeline he's in the current top 4 pitching prospects in the Orioles organization. If you don't think he wants to do everything he can to try to earn himself a chance in the Majors, than that would just be ignorance talking.

I’m sure he’d like to. I was doubting that he’s well regarded.

Big game for Grayson today.  We need someone to restore order after last night’s chaos.  6 quality innings would be much appreciated. 

Ho hum.  I didn't see the game, but looking at the box score it looks like he wasn't too bad and was unlucky due to an error.  Did he deserve to get taken out so early or did Hyde maybe go to the bullpen too early (as he does sometimes in my opinion)?

His pitch count was in the 80's and he wasn't sharp. Velo dropped down to 94 a few times. Definitely appeared to be laboring. He could easily have been taken out after 4. Irvin got ready in the bottom of the 4th but Hyde stretched for a couple more batters. I have no problem with Hyde's decision.

He was at 89 pitches through 4.1 long innings. Did he deserve to be taken out?

I agreed with the decision.  The game was still close, and looked like it was about to get out of hand.  Grayson wasn’t at his sharpest today.  And Irvin has the ability to throw multiple innings.

Hyde knows exactly what he is doing with the pitchers.  Grayson was laboring.  Hyde wasn't going to let that go on.  Our post season will depend on three starters.  Hyde wants those three as physically and mentally sharp as possible.  

It's sad that we don't know who the 3 starters are.  Bradish of course.  Will Grayson get back on track?  Kremer even though he's just an average starter usually doesn't blow up.  Means is a wild card, but probably too much to ask coming back from injury.

I thought the entire team looked tired and worn out tonight....including Grayson.  They could use a day off and a night in their own bed.

 

Also you could see on Grayson's face when Urias let that ball go under his glove that he was completely pissed off and lost all focus.   Before that he was cruising.

That's what I mean when I say Grayson is a head case.  How many hits has that defense saved for Grayson?

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
