It's just frustrating to have folks go "Why can't Mateo bunt?", "Why can't Hall throw strikes?" "Why can't Mountcastle lay off the slider?" These things are very hard to do.  They aren't just cho

This^^^^^^^ Plus, he can afford to have 20-pitch inning in relief but that doesn't work as a starter or he'll never get into that 6th inning very often. Hall had a 69% strike rate in relief last

First inning:

2Ks & a ground ball out.  hard fast balls and a nasty slider.  No one is catching up with the fastballs.  Lot of weak swings. 

Second inning:
3-0 to a k on first batter. Blew first batter away with FB.  No mph readings tonight :(

2-0 to 2-2 then a soft liner to RF.  FB looks pretty strong.  A lot of swing and miss/weak contact. 
 

Struck out 3rd batter on a FB. 

Struck out 4th batter.  A lot of strikes.  Complete domination.   Will him come out for a third? Edit: Nope he’s done.  One of the most dominant pitching performances I’ve seen in a while.  I think he’s fixed lol.  

 

Put him in the bullpen in somewhere in front of Bautista. If he can avoid walks I would think he can help shorten games

11 fastballs, 94.4-97.8, avg 95.8. That’s about his MLB velo last season. Also got 3 whiffs on 7 swings. 

14 changeups with 3 whiffs on 5 swings as well.

Extremely encouraging outing. Surprised they had him throwing so many pitches but I guess they want him to knock off the rust. If he can maintain this velo through multiple appearances we should see him back in the majors in short order.

Well, I guess we can stop worrying about what happened to his velocity.  I guess the O’s knew what they were doing when they sent him down to Sarasota.

Developed a highly regarded prospected that they inherited into an asset on the ML roster by now?

Managed his recovery from injury better?

It kinda seems like they were throwing stuff on the wall to see what stuck.  Why didn't they have him lift more earlier in the season instead of sending him out there with reduced velocity?

Deloading is a thing.  Hitters use heavy bats (overloading) and light bats (deloading/underloading) to increase bat speed.  Pitchers do the same thing with weighted balls to increase arm speed.  From what I've read (which is probably nothing in the grand scheme of things), maintaining the increased speed is easy.  But rebuilding it a second/third time takes longer.  I don't think they correctly anticipated the recovery effort/time it would take plus thought some could be regained during the season.  

I do give them praise for realizing whatever the original game plan was wasn't working and that they needed to change directions.

Personally, I had written off 2023 for Hall.  And was leaning toward writing off Hall completely.  Seeing him touching 97-98 MPH is something to be excited about given his recent struggles and prior year promise.

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.
