I could not agree with you more. When your slider is a 138 and your curve is 155, why in the world would you throw a cutter?  According to Baseball Savant his 4S has nearly 11 inches of horizontal break and only drops 13 inches. Seems like the cutter is just not needed. 

He’s barely thrown the cutter since returning from Norfolk.

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.

Okay. I can see IT now. 
 

Only thing to worry about is that darn near every guy who has 100 in the bag also gets TJ at some point. 

Every once in a while there's a survivor.

His minors track record is off the charts, but aside from that in one sense his promise is as simple as he is a "high school RHP" top of 1st round GUY who has attained age 23.75 and hasn't blown up his arm yet.

You just hope the fastballs stay for a decade.

Are we trading him for Spencer Strider tomorrow?

Not trying to get my hopes up but when he is confident he reminds you of Stephen Strasburg. The only difference is when Strasburg was throwing 98-100 there were 1-2 starters doing it. I do see some similarities in body type and motion.

He reminds me more of Verlander, though not quite as over the top.

If they can get some back up from say, Means and Wells and maybe in the  pen with DL Hall...Grayson might be slightly fresher for possible post season play...as it is, if Grayson pitches like he did tonight to a pretty formidable lineup and Flaherty and Bradish continue to pitch well...we could be a very dangerous team assuming we go to the post season...

I would be concerned about making that comparison because of how much time Strasburg has spent injured, unavailable, and on the IL.

Has anyone ever heard of the inverted W theory in regards to pitching mechanics?

      AL playoff picture

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
