Ha, I spend an hour last night researching and analyzing the statcast information on Rom's stuff and researching pitchers with a similar fastball, provide the data with charts, and get one react and the follow on comments are talking about wins in the minors and Frobby's feelings on rooting for underdogs (which got as many reacts as mine.) My mistake. I must be doing this wrong! lol

Let me try this then. Rom wins a lot of games and is an underdog guy! I love him and want him to do good!

Sweet, just saved myself hours of research over the rest of his stuff and can move on. 

Tony, you are a stud.  Never forget that. You out OPS everyone.  Lotta posters have high OBP but your SLG can’t be touched! 
 

and for the record when you posted those charts I didn’t have any rep left to give that day :)

So, let's take a look at Rom's stuff. The question is whether Rom is just another soft tossing lefty that can get AAA hitters out similar to Lowther, T. Wells or Zimmerman or if he's something else?

Nice to see Rom be able to say he pitched in the major leagues. Most kids drafted, even in the 3rd round can not say that.  Saying that, unfortunately his inability to learn how to throw a qualit

Rom lost again tonight. He hasn't been the same since he was called up for a few days and didn't pitch. I know I'm on the opposite extreme from so many who want prospects called up after every good game. I just hate seeing pitchers jerked back and forth.  It seems like it almost never works out, at least for the Orioles.

I'm not a fan of yo-yoing guys either but he didn't even pitch while he was up here.  I can't imagine it would have affected him that much (if it did, he's not going to be very successful in MLB haha).  I think it's more likely he's just had a few subpar starts.

I think it's more about the travel time of being yo-yo'd between locations than it is playing. Dropping everything you were doing to travel that far ASAP just to sit on a bench is still annoying and exhausting.

It disrupted his routine. Took him out of his groove.

It’s been like night and day since he was promoted to the majors and sat around. 

Through May 3: 2.87 ERA in 6 starts.

May 14 to now: 8.91 ERA in 8 starts.  

Now, I’m not claiming that the 11 days off screwed him up so badly that he can’t pitch anymore.  But he really hasn’t had a good start since he returned.  He allowed fewer hits than IP in 5 of his 6 initial starts; he’s had more hits than IP In every start since he returned.

Hope the 1 IP appearance means they are stealthily converting Rom to a RP. I don’t think he has any future as a SP and we don’t need another swing 5th SP / bulk RP. But with his minor league K rates I think he has a shot to be a Coulombe-esque RP with much higher slider usage and perhaps a couple extra ticks on his fastball letting his fastball shape/command really play up.

I just don't think you should ever bring up a prospect if the plan isn't for him to play regularly. Bring up a 4A guy if you need insurance on the big team for a few days. I'd still rather have Cowser in Norfolk if he sits very often like last night.

I got a chance to see Rom pitch Tuesday at Gwinnett. He wasn't overpowering but made it through five solid innings to get the win. Sheffield was impressive for the Stripers. I had forgotten about him, but I think he was a big-time prospect for the Yankees a few years ago.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
