Big series between possible teams for East 4th place and West 2nd place, an okay guess as the last racers for AL6.

AL Active Roster K-BB standing among SP with 20 IP, a group of 63 guys as of today on FG.

(20) Grayson v. (4) Shohei

(42) Kremer v. (~62.5) Silseth*

(39) Bradish v. (41) Canning

(24) Wells v. (61) Ty. Anderson

*Silseth has been a fast moving prospect, and only faced 35 batters so far this year - 5/5 K/BB is an easy 0% K-BB.    Had he the 20 innings, he'd fall somewhere between next to last and last in the list, but he is as green as Grayson and talented enough to have made it to the show fast.

The Angels just finished a series in Cleveland, where closer Carlos Estevez pitched in a loss today, but the starter otherwise saved the bullpen.     Trout got a rest day except for pinch hitting, as former 1-1 Mickey Moniak got his 2nd consecutive start after recall from AAA where he was running hot.      They've lost each of their last three series 2-1 against TEX-HOU-CLE, a tough slate of opponents.

Fangraphs Playoff Odds currently has us at 37% to their 26%. A series win would help solidify our lead. I like our chances with Kremer and Wells the way they pitched their last starts. Grayson vs Shohei would be a huge coup but if he can get through five or six, we have Baker, Cano, and Bautista all rested.

During the offseason, one of the craziest things I learned was how awful the Stars and Scrubs bottom of the order was for the 2022 Angels.     Here were their Batting 6th/7th/8th/9th lines last year:

183/244/287

192/246/301

204/265/301

195/253/313

The 2023 reinforcements are working - those Bottom spots year to date have OPSs entering today around 830, 770, 750 and 550, though Logan O'Hoppe who did some of that good work has already been lost long term.

'22 Rougned for us was 207/275/357 so Ohtani-Trout's last year experience was about 4/9ths of everyone who played all season long being much worse.

Much like he did vs DeGrom, Grayson just need to go out and pitch to the Angels and not worry about Othani being the opposing pitcher.

For once the P you’re facing as a pitcher, is actually a guy you’re facing!  I think I have taken for granted a little bit what Ohtani is doing. It’s wild that you have to worry about outpitching him, but also worry about how to get him out.  I’m sure that’s a first for Grayson since his HS days.

I was just looking at Ohtani’s pitching log.  He hasn’t been all that good lately, coughing up 12 earned runs over 18 IP in his last three starts.  His last one was solid but less than dominant, 7 IP, 3 ER.  Before that three gsme stretch, he’d allowed 2 ER in 28 IP.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are there any weird rules with the SP being in the lineup? Do they lose the DH after Ohtani is done on the mound?

No they made a special rule to allow it because of Ohtani. He gets to stay in as DH.

      These guys are who they are, by and large.  Mounty, big swing and miss guy.  Tony swings a lot, misses a lot.  Chases everything at the letters or higher.  Cowser swings and misses at almost everything.  Adley, I'm hoping this isn't who he is but he's been absolutely awful for months.  All of these guys swing and miss too much and don't walk enough.   The "players manager" term only gets thrown around for when someone's unhappy with the manager.  It's code for "he's soft on the players." Find me one fire and brimstone, old school, hardass manager in the game right now.  They don't exist anymore.  They're all "players managers."

      Cedric Mullins

      Never would have thought he would be the only player to show up at the plate. 3-7 homerun today double off the wall yesterday. Will he be on the team next season? I don't know his contract status.

      If Matt Borgschulte, Ryan Fuller, and Cody Asche have jobs in the morning, Elias should be called on the carpet by Rubenstein. At the very least they need to go.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      It’s simple. A team full of may-be’s and never-were’s is not a championship team. The only bona-fides star on this team is Burnes, and the only star in the making is Henderson. That’s just not enough. You need some people whom the others can look to in these big moments.

      Absolutely.  The Rays get back their top 3 starters next year. The Sox are on our heels and have 4 top 25 prospects with $$$. The NYY are the Yankees. Maybe we finish above the Jays. Things are getting dire and no one wants to admit it.  I would clean house of guys like Mounty and Urias. Let the young guys play. See what you have. Holliday has to turn into a pure hitter.  Heston needs to develop.  If you trust your development people, let them play

      Hitting coach death watch

      By SteveA · Posted

      Twins and Pirates have fired their hitting coaches after their season ended. Now our season has ended. Whether they were told to use a particular approach, or chose to, or had a better approach but the players didnt' pick up on it ... doesn't matter.   When so many guys on the team continually do the same things wrong over and over again and perform this badly with runners in scoring position -- the coaches have to go.   Even if they were preaching the "right thing" and the players just weren't listening... too bad, we need coaches who can communicate with the players and help them get out of slumps and make adjustments. And this has been an epic failure.

      Season in a microcosm

      By theobird · Posted

      This is so sad. Just look at this team? The all or nothing Orioles. We are in need of an overhaul, an adjustment of our idea of what makes a hitter good. I’m going to say some things that hurt, because I really like these guys. But it’s not good baseball, and it’s not smart construction of a competitive team. Good hitters don’t disappear for long stretches, or in big games. I like Tony, but we gotta take the pick and let him walk. you cannot go O for the postseason and call yourself a premier player (Gunnar). Cowser is so bad against anything but a fastball that it’s embarrassing. Adley? What the hell happened to Adley?  The only guy who really performed was Cedric Mullins. This team scored one run in 18 innings of post season baseball? It’s time for a good old fashioned house cleaning.
