Has anyone noticed how much better the Oriole's pitchers ERA is this year when Benboom is catching vs. Rutschman?

 

 

..........I'm just kidding, but someone was bound to say it and actually mean it..... 😀

Benboom did have a 3.40 CERA last year.   The pitchers seem to like him.

That was a great performance last night, especially when the chips were down early and they could have folded after Bradish got knocked out. 

Not only did we deal with Bradish, but I think that win fully erases the tough loss in Boston. Now it’s time for Gibson to get some revenge against a former team tonight. Then Weds will seem just like last year. Next man up. 
 

Let’s get this sweep and come home.

I think seeing Wells and Bradish (I know it wasn't for long) pitch really well was nice to see after the starting pitching in Boston.  There is still reason for optimism this year.  Hopefully Bradish isn't out long and comes back pitching like he did to start that game.

Bautista looked DOMINANT.   Great job by Wells.   We got plenty of breaks on hard hit balls too.

We have to remember that he didn’t have a normal ST. Not surprising that he was shaky his first couple of outings although normal defense behind him and he looks much better.

Orioles showing a little moxie that has been missing here at OH.  Every win is a good one.  Getting back to .500 after an underwhelming showing in Boston is a good feel.  

Orioles will need to get their pitching under control.  This team will be as successful as pitching allows.  Last night was a gusty performance and kudos all around.

I think Opening Day was gustier

Frankly, he looked just fine on Saturday.    Every once in a while someone is going to turn around one his fastballs or a hanging split.   Like you said, with good defense he's 3 for 3 in saves and the bottom line is better.

      Dean Kremer 2024

      By wildcard · Posted

      Is Kremer a #3 starter.   Most fans would say no.    But how far from a #3 is he?    He has a 1.09 WHIP.  His average against is .197.   He is averaging a strike out an inning.   He has probably 3 or 4  starts before the deadline.   If he pitches like a #3 in those starts could he assume that role? Many are watching to see if Elias will pull the trigger on acquiring a #3 starter.   Giving up one  or more of the O's best prospects.    But we may also be watching to see if Kremer pitches at a high level does Elias make the choice not to make that trade.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      Hyde determines bullpen matchups prior to the game. He does not use subjective eye tests in the moment. It's a good system that did not work in this case. No eye test can convince me that Baker is a better option than anyone, ever. He is a replacement level pitcher, at best.

      Catch probability question...

      Nice. This is much better than that Twitter feed I was using.

      Sure. I said 10-12 feet because that would be the extreme range of the difference in how far they could cover in four seconds. As you mention real life is a bit less.

      This doesn’t detract from your main point, but fielders don’t get up to full speed for the first 3 seconds.  On average, Santander covers 32.2 feet in the first 3 seconds, Rodriguez 36.6, per Statcast jump data.  So, the difference on a 4 second hang time ball is more like 7-8 feet rather than 10-12.

      I think a team like the Orioles don't really have the luxury of extending a pretty good 30-year-old outfielder. Always take bb-ref comps with a grain of salt, but Santander's top comps through age 28 include: Jay Gibbons (less than 200 PAs after 30) Mark Trumbo (below replacement from 31-on) Carlos Quentin (below replacement from 31-on) Deron Johnson (1.6 WAR in 3198 PAs from 31-on) Willie Kirkland (productive career over at 28) Bo Jackson (yes, injuries, but done at 31) Nick Esasky (last good year at 29) Josh Reddick (OPS'd .711 with 2 WAR from 31-on) Also Paul O'Neill and Jay Buhner. So 8/10 would have been terrible choices to extend at 30.

      The Statcast data does help highlight the silliness of errors. Or some of them. Rodriguez has a top sprint speed of over 29 feet/second, while Anthony Santander is at 26. On a 4-second hang time ball Rodriguez will be able to cover roughly 10-12 additional feet. So if a ball goes off his glove at the end he likely gets an error, while on the very same ball Santander gets credit for chasing a double or a triple up the gap. And then back to our discussion yesterday about ERA in another thread, whomever was on the mound is absolved from the Rodriguez error, while they take full blame for Santander allowing the extra-base hit.
