I can strike out against anything.

Been an O's fan since sitting in the bleachers at Memorial Stadium as a pre-teen in the 70s. Thought I'd make my first post about just placing $75 on Cano to win the AL Cy Young 😛 (pays $15,000).

Yennier Canó deserves his own season thread after his clutch outing tonight. Hyde has no reliable setup arms in the bullpen and he turns to the new guy Canó in the seventh inning clinging to a one run

The movement on his pitches is pretty wild.  I'm kind of blown away at the movement pitchers are able to generate these days--maybe they always did that and I never noticed?--but he seems exceptional.  Hopefully all that tailing and sinking action will give him a relative advantage against lefties.  I mean, hey, no baserunners so far.

And how about keeping his composure after the balk?  Great stuff.  I like the swagger, it's fun as long as you're good, lol

Who'd have thought even a couple weeks ago that we'd be closing games with Cano and Coulombe? And honestly I was pretty confident although the BB-balk combo to start the 9th made me perk up a bit.

A pattern is starting! Last year was a welcome surprise, but now we are seeing the Orioles continue to be a well run organization for success.

The level of play keeps getting better.

Wasn't sure if it was my aging brain just misremembering the good old days but I feel like I came out of a coma and everyone is throwing 98 with movement and it wasn't always like that.

I guess Cano's change-up is like 90, which is insane with that break he puts on it.  Haven't seen a ton of pitchers with that kind of repertoire.

Yennier 6 innings along hits me as one of the biggest wildcards for whatever this year might be - are we on the Cesar Valdez or Felix Bautista half of the football field?

Goodness gracious if Orioles PD is in the Bautista half again.

Interesting comp. I was thinking he gets so much movement on his changeup and sinker that he is almost like a knuckleballer on his approach.

Very cool: "Bullpens are funny organisms."

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
