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

I kind of get an uneasy feeling with every Grayson start. Never really know which guy you're getting. 

True.  Especially his changeup.  It’s probably his best pitch when it’s on but it seems it’s rarely on consistently.

Obviously the season's over if you lose a must-win game. Why else would it be must-win?

The results were great; I’m less certain about the pitching. He threw several meatballs in leverage situations that were not crushed as they might have been. Cano had similar fortune. Whatever. Roll on.

Grayson the 8th AL pitcher to 6 wins despite being a couple turns behind the every week pitchers for, umm, reasons.

Good luck Sigbot trying to optimize for that arbitration expense.

The location to Vlad was comical but Hyde's giddiness postgame hints to me he executed on what they hoped he'd execute on this evening.

Grayson was good tonight, but yeah he did get away with throwing some meatballs. It was good to see his control better tonight.

We need like 50 more wins to make the playoffs, so I think there are like 50 more Must Win Games this year. Watch out, they could strike at any moment.

Hyde said in postgame that he thought was Graysons best start of the season, getting ahead of 22/27 batters faced with much better fastball command at 95-97 than pumping it harder.  

Not as many swings+miss (11 this start) and curiously less changeups thrown (just 9 thrown or 10% mix vs 21% avg).

Grayson’s first 10 starts of 2023 compared to this year:

2023: 45.1 iP, 57 H, 37 ER, 21 BB, 56 K, 13 HR

2024: 57.2 IP, 54 H, 21 ER, 21 BB, 65 K, 6 HR

He hasn’t been quite as dominant as he was in the second half of last year, but he’s getting it done.

Grayson must really be disappointing people on this board. He specifically said he wasn’t hurting strikeouts and was good with early contact to keep the pitch count down. There are many on this board that claim this doesn’t work and strikeouts don’t up pitch counts despite what guys like Palmer say. The defense is that the data doesn’t support Palmer.  This is a data driven org and Grayson is saying this, the odds are very strong that it’s coming from the org and not Grayson just freestyling.

It’s a proven fact that Ks don’t up pitch counts. 
 

You know what his pitch counts?  Base runners. Hits and walks. If you pitch to contact, you increase the chances of a batted ball becoming a hit and then having to face more batters, which in turns increases the pitch count.

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
