3/7 at Twins - Grayson visiting some real big leaguers

[Just Regular]

If length pitcher Baumann got 9 outs, that's probably Grayson's target today too.

I turned on mlb app. Getting Jim Rome….

[eddie83]

Ok. On now.

Game is also on Sirius xm 89

Grod is getting hit hard. 

[eddie83]

Let up HR. Line drive just knocked his glove off. Got out. Is ok. 

[eddie83]

Another double. 

[eddie83]

Hanging breaking ball. Crushed foul.  

[eddie83]

Another hard hit double to start bottom 3. His command is real poor today. 

[eddie83]

Grayson leaves with bases loaded 2 down bottom 3. 2.2 IP, one run, 2 BB, 4 K’s, 3 hits with 1 HR.

Had a meeting so wasn't able to follow the play by play, but 55 pitches, two walks and six Hard Hit fire icons on the Savant box score isn't great results.

But he got his 55 pitches of work in, and without checking the lineup for his 2 innings last week, guessing that was about the toughest lineup he's ever faced.

It was Miranda who got him for the dinger.     Tough day at the office, but hopefully not anything that might make him lose his shot.

Always interesting to listen to the away broadcast and see how little research these guys do on the Orioles. The one announcer said that McKenna "Was a good hitter who hit a couple of home runs last year." 

The other then talked about how, "Orioles fans were upset when they traded Lopez and Mancini at the trade deadline, but the team played better."

At least the second part of the statement was correct.

Nothing annoys me worse than guys who job it is to announce who don't do simple research on the opponent.

Not a great day obviously for GRod. He definitely owes Blaine Knight for getting him out of the inning without giving up a bunch of runs. 

Hard to say without seeing the game what his issue was today but with the two walk, and the hard contact, I'd say it was command issues.

Agree. Velo seemed fine.
