Wednesday, April 5: Grayson Rodriguez's long awaited debut vs Jacob deGrom

[Il BuonO]

Sixth inning and deGrom still pumping 99.

[Tony-OH]

Santander has had some long at bats this year!

[Hank Scorpio]

Bravo on the at bat, Tony. 

A great one last night too.

Well damn, I had to go into a meeting and it looks like Grayson settled down. Nice.

Oof, tough break. Glad I was able to move things around to watch today. Wasn't counting on Grayson potentially pitching past 3:30.

Have they said he is done? I don't have the volume on and may have missed if they were doing handshakes and hugs in the dugout.

[O's84]

Awful

[SilverRocket]

Did Adley lose a lot of speed this offseason?

[Winter]

We probably just handed deGrom and extra inning with that freebie 

[Gurgi]

Adley stealing?  Dude forgets he is a catcher.

[Il BuonO]

Why is he running???

[LA2]

After Frazier RBI-singled, Brown said "Frazier, the only batter in the Oriole lineup to have" and then the replay cut off. Does anyone know what he said?

What were Hyde and Adley thinking.  There weren't two outs.  You can't run into an out there.

He might be good for only 15 starts a year, but they're usually good ones ! lol

Fingers crossed that Grayson can be the guy and Means returns to form after the all-star break.  O’s could have a nice rotation.

That was a good initial plan. At this point I would rather send Grayson out to start the 6th, hope he can get through it then all hands on deck the rest of the way. With the bullpen rested and an off-day tomorrow, we don't need to see Voth in a close game.

they are going to limit his innings this year anyway; might as well let him leave his first start feeling good, rather than possibly getting into trouble in the 6th, getting replaced, and maybe taking an L.  Voth can take two innings here and then you can go to the main part of the pen if needed. 

[MurphDogg]

Guess they figured with how many Santander fouled off yesterday that he wouldn't strike out.

Still think deGrom is done at 92 pitches.
