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?

      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.
