Like most of you, I was pumped to see Grayson's big league debut, and I don't remember being his hyper focused on a pitching performance since...maybe ever.  Ultimately his performance was solid, and

I thought this take was interesting regarding the change-up...   https://twitter.com/LanceBroz/status/1644014134713786370?s=20

Obviously Grayson has had some disappointing outings, but wow does he have an impressive pitch arsenal. Fastball, sweeper, and change up all seem to be plus pitches.

I like his slurve better, honestly. 

@RZNJ😉

 

Anyways, people seem to expect that a rookie pitcher is going to come up and immediately dominate. He's clearly still learning his craft at the MLB level. He's made 3 starts. Patience. The arsenal and tools are very much there.

Wow, he's been unbelievably bad...  I know he's young and a rookie and it's only been a few starts, but I never thought he'd be ERA 10.00 runs a game bad...

 

Could he be hurt??  

If you take a look under the hood he actually settled down and absolutely dominated after the first inning. He also established his change-up quite a bit more and it looked incredible. Better days are ahead. He just needs to get over his 1st inning jitters. I'm sure the rain delay probably didn't help things today.

Don’t expect that guy to actually be rational.

Excellent comeback after the first. His current tendency to be on one inning, off the next, is similar to my memory of a young Jake Arrieta. 

Jake seemed to stay in that mode for years, until figuring it out almost instantly once he wasn't an Oriole. Hopefully Grayson turns that corner sooner.

issuing the first walk of the season to Luis Robert set the tone for what was to come,  but nice to see him buckle down

didn't get to watch the game, but seeing 8 whiffs on the change up is great! now just need to put it together from inning 1.

Who is calling the pitches here?  Adley isn’t putting down fingers. I think it’s our Asst PC. Scrap the analytics. Just establish one pitch. 

No catcher is throwing down fingers anymore fyi. There's a button system in the catchers armband that calls pitches audibly into a headset thing in the pitchers hat. Instituted last year to prevent all the various sign-stealing cheating going on re Houston trash can banging, etc.

And side note on this: I heard an interview the other day where Shohei is the only pitcher that's the opposite. He wears the armband and his catcher where's the headset. He's got way too many variations of pitches and could take upwards of 30 seconds or more for him to get the catcher to call what he wants to throw. He's totally memorized the armband like he's texting without looking.

Do you think  they changed pitch callers after the first?

The issue wasn't what was being called.  They hit hrs off both fastballs and breaking balls in the first.  The problem was that he couldn't throw a strike that wasn't in the center of the plate.

What makes you think analytics are telling him not to throw fastballs?

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.

      Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
