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.

That was beautiful. Exactly what we all hoped he was capable of.  He may still have some ups and downs the rest of this season, but very excited to watch him pitching for us the next few years.

The only real knock on him in the minors was he hadn’t shown he could go deep in games.  He answered that question big time tonight.   He’s learning something every time he goes out there.  It’s scary how good he could be if he stays healthy.  Scary for other teams, that is.

Correct.   Seems to have his head on straight too.   What a pleasant thought on  the Orioles will go as far in AL East  and beyond as Grayson and Gunnar take them.

I remember a thread on here back when Grayson had been sent down asking who would be our best starter by playoff time and when I said Grayson, people bashed me for it.

Wonder what those same people think now?

I’d still go with Bradish, but if he’s 1A, Grayson is 1B.  Not a lot to choose from.

You definitely stuck your neck out early on that one so I will give you credit!

I'd still say Bradish. I've been saying since April he's going to be our best pitcher this season.

I was one of those people who was skeptical of that happening this season. I don’t think I ever “bashed” you. If I did I apologize because I was absolutely wrong. And glad to be so!

If we had the reserve clause, I think I think Grayson would have been the Orioles #1 by around when covid struck, but it is nice to have the good thing come after all the waiting.

There are myriad things a Player can do to increase their life mastery of the game of baseball, so a Club can always get to something that sounds plausible if they are temporizing.

The outcomes of the next rotation run before his turn again could put the load on him for the final two weeks anywhere between 0 and 100.    It is possible he doesn't have to throw truly hot again until October 9th if they give Bradish an ALDS Game 1.

I maintain what I have been saying a few times the past couple of weeks. If it's a 6 man rotation, it should be...

Bradish

Rodriguez 

Means

Kremer

Gibson

Irvin

The back part of that could be swapped around but the top 3 are set in my mind... Bradish, Grayson, then a Left Hander. 

However, I can easily see Grayson becoming the legitimate unquestioned Ace of our Pitching staff during next season. 

Like all the greatest have done throughout their careers, Grayson still has a few things he can continue to develop and adjust... But even so, he is quickly becoming the dominant starting pitcher we had always dreamed he could be.

So do we go into next season with a rotation of Bradish, Means, Rodriguez, Wells, and Kremer?  That could be a solid rotation.  Is there an urgent need to go get a top of rotation type  via free agency or trade?  I don't know that we need to.   This group with another year of experience under their collective belts could be very good.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      I hope we stick with five SP and deeper bullpen. The pen could use Suarez or Irvin.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      At the end of the day, it's Boras' job to get his players as much money as possible. That has worked out in some cases, and not with others.  Hopefully the "winning" environment here will encourage players like Gunnar and Adley to sign extensions. I'd love to hear that the Orioles signed Henderson to a 10-year contract because he is a franchise guy. Adley is a catcher so that scares me more, but I'd be willing to extend him until he's 31 or 32. Gunnar though is the key and I think the Orioles know this. He's one of the best players in the league, he's fast, athletic, and barring a serious injury, there is no doubt he's going to be one of the best players in the league for a long, long time.

      Baseball is a funny game sometimes, but you're right, we are going to battle with starters that were not even projected for the opening day rotation. Yet, here we are. Obviously anytime we have a series against the Yankees it's big, but even if we lose 2 of 3, we'd only be 2.5 games back.  The loss of Coulombe is huge and that bothers me more than the starters honestly. Perez, Akin, Baker and Tate filling key roles if Cano or Kimbrel is not available does not make me feel great. Baker threw the ball in his debut back and has been throwing well in AAA for a bit, so maybe he's a little bit of lightning in a bottle that this team needs in the pen.

      Count me in, but the Orioles have never really subscribed to that theory of splitting time like that. They really put an emphasis on everyday players and bench players with everyday players rarely getting days off.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.
