It's especially an easy fix with O'Hearn on the roster and hitting as well as he does vs RH pitching. -

Content baby. Content. haha. A random hate thread for Mateo/Urias/Kimbrel and even Mountcastle/Hays always gets the job done after an L. The "homegrowners" are coming for you. Not homegrown enough. Too homegrown. Harvested. I heard Neil Young is playing locally this weekend. -
I don't think it helps Kjerstad at all. If Mountcastle is used as a platoon, you likely won't see Kjerstad as DH against a LHP. I doubt they are bringing Mayo up to sit on the bench like Kjerstad. They need to start trading surplus, some of these guys are getting old in AAA. -

Good to see him back going. It really helps out the depth of those 3rd tier position prospects. Is it an insult to say hopefully he can become Norby-esque? -
btw this conversation does have merit. THANKS! -
Right, they've been using it since 2021 in some variation in the minors, it's time to bring it up to the majors.

Ok, I'm starting a thread for him because I think he's a guy who has really pooped this year. Strowd has always had a good fastball (95-97, t98) with high spin rate breaking balls. But he's transformed him self into a guy with a really good cutter. Last night he made his AAA debut which meant we got statcast data on him and here's what we saw. He came in and threw his new cutter 92% of the time throwing his 4 seamer just once. He varied his speed in his cutter from 91.6 to 95.2 and got a 40% whiff rate. Keep an eye on him. As I mentioned on my 105.7 stint last Thursday (11:00 this year), Strowd is the one guy I think could end up helping the Orioles in the pen at some point this year. He's basically turning himself into Mariano Rivera using the cutter almost exclusively, at least in this first game. Now I'm not saying he is Mariano Rivera, but Rivera is the first guy I think of who survived with a cutter as main/only pitch. Last guy I saw in the minor who dominated like this was Felix Bautista, who went from A-ball to the majors in one season when he broke out.
