Chayce McDermott had kind of an archetypical evening in the season opener, allowing only 1 run on 1 hit (a ground single), but walking 5 guys, throwing only 4.1 innings, and throwing only 46 of 85 pitches for strikes.  He did strike out 6 batters, so he was pretty dominant when he actually threw the ball over the plate, but he didn’t throw it over the plate often enough.  The one run he allowed was a leadoff walk in the fifth inning that scored after he left the game.  So, I’d call the game both encouraging and discouraging.

McDermott’s stuff is pretty nasty.  I’m really curious to see how/if it translates to MLB. My observations from last night and in general are: 1. He takes a long time to get going.  Walked the le

The way it's been going lately a team is going to having an A ball pitcher throwing out of the pen.  The O's started the year w/ what they thought were 9 starters who could pitch in the majors, they a

He got to one of the two true outcomes ~60% of the time to bore his fielders to death.     Savant credited him with the most swings and misses in AAA, but it was also near the worst K-bb performances in the league.

Pitching up 8-0 starting in the 3rd inning, a little more fill up the strike zone proficiency would have been in order.

Great WHIFF rate and a 64% zcontact rate on his 4-seamer is really impressive and show how even with a 93.4 MPH avg, it plays up.

Still, it took him 85 pitches to get through 4.1 innings. As someone said, it was very much a DL Hall like start. 

With a 26% oSwings% he did not get a ton of chase, but nothing really got hit hard off him either. 

When you watch McDermott, you definitely see a guy who will have success at the major league level, but similar to Hall (With the Orioles), it will be in the bullpen if he doesn't get the ball in the zone more or garner more chase.

I guess they want to learn the hard way that D.L. Hall isn't a starting pitcher.

You, me, and the next guy think that’s likely the role. I’m pretty stoked the kid is getting a chance.  Easy guy to pull for.  I’m 💯 go Hall!

I was blacked out on mlb.tv but on Gameday I don’t think one fastball registered above 93 mph which basically aligns with what I saw during two ST starts.  He’s got 4 pitches and if he throws strikes he can succeed but it’s curious that the velo is down again.

I hope he makes the best of this chance and has a great career. But he's five (if you're lucky) and dive as a starter and likely an inconsistent one. I think he'll be a very good reliever. I think we're going to miss him more than Joey Ortiz.

Did he not get his off season weight lifting program in? That was the excuse for his poor velo last year.

Another 5 walk effort tonight but this time, he couldn’t get through 4 innings.

Real disappointing start to the season for him.

Don’t love the right center field angle of the camera but his stuff looked Meh as well. The gun had him 92-93 and I couldn’t get good read on off speed break.

His curve ball looked like it had a lot of 12-to-6 break to it and the speed dropped a lot from the FB.  He just had a rough time locating it.

      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.

      Is it just me or did they sound the HR / walk-off siren before the ball actually went out?
