Twenty some pitches into the second inning yet goes seven. I thought the game was over early. I get more impressed with GRod the more I see him. He pitches with a controlled edge. I like it! Great Win. Two spectacular games. Can't wait until tomorrow. I'll take a late 22 Baker too. And, my man Mullins is starting to smile again - just a little! The beer be cold.

Rodriguez's changeup was literally a Bugs Bunny Change up. I got an amazing 44% zcontact (Contact when batter swings at a ball in the strike zone) on the changeup.  Aaron Hicks had some of

Keep your eyes on the road! 1.  Hyde didn’t come out, French did. 2. Rodriguez wasn’t at 100 pitches, he was at 97. 3.  The bullpen had only started warming the previous batter, and was

That was real impressive today. Big time effort. Early on I was a bit concerned. 
 

Now we will see him pitch the last game in NY I would imagine. 

He might match up with Cole unless the Yankees get aggressive and pitch Cole on 4 days rest for the Wed game.

I was curious how GRod would pitch given that huge crowd and electric atmosphere. I feel like he has a tendency to get too amped up and overthrow. Granted I didn’t start watching until inning 3, but he looked absolutely in control and executed his pitches.  Certainly a big step forward as far as I’m concerned.

He definitely overthrows at times.  To lefties, it’s normally the high and outside overthrow and to righties it’s normally the non competitive high fastball.

But overall, he’s really pitching at a high level. 
 

Part of the reason offense is down is because of arms like Rodriguez.

The long innings yesterday momentarily enabled him to regain "qualified" status with 70.1 innings in 70 team games.

Mid-June Fangraphs has 74 arms keeping the pace.    Grayson lands:

3rd in PitchingBot estimated ERA

5th in Stuff+

10th in Fastball velocity

27th in ERA

24th in K-bb

34th in fWAR

Past 1 Calendar Year, he and Zack Wheeler have the same ERA.

I don't understand how we still question his legitimacy as a TOR.  He may not be a bona fide ace yet, but he's a top 30 arm.

Gotta think he's got a good chance at getting selected for the All Star Game along with Burnes and maybe Kimbrell

I mean I'm fine with them being selected and turning it down.

I'd rather no pitchers go.

I was just looking at last year’s all star team to get an idea of how many starting pitchers got selected.  When did all star rosters get so bloated?   Last year the AL all stars included 40 players, including 12 starting pitchers and 5 relievers.  That’s ludicrous!  If there’s 12 starters, yes I’d say Grayson has a shot.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Pretty much exactly what I am thinking.  I even had to cut back on my watching the games because the frustration was killing me.  Now I save all games on DVR and peek at the score if it is safe to watch.  This is odd because when the Orioles suck and they are far below .500 I watch every single game.  Sometimes every single inning of the year.   Crazy if the Orioles had STARTED the year sucking and had to spend the last two months in an amazing race to catch up for a chance for the playoffs we would all be thrilled.   But end the season on a three month skid of misery and the same playoff spot just feels empty.
