People on the message board all worried about Grayson but I don't see anything wrong with how he's pitching. He's just taking his time a little more and working at a slower pace than we're used to.

I agree. He isn't dominating, not since the third inning or so, but he doesn't look injured. This is the type of game where he is going to have a lot of chances. He doesn't have to be perfect to win, and only a few of the Twins lineup can really hurt him (like Buxton).

I agree, sometimes he should catch.

Always like to see a 7-1 score. Reminds me of my first ML game: Phillies 7, Pirates 1 on August 31, 1957. Attendance was 5,141.

He also has a low pitch count.

Holliday squared up that ball and got it into the outfield. Heck, that would have been a clean sac fly in the right situation. I'll take any incremental improvement over the "Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Goodnight" strikeouts he's been normalizing...

Nobody is worried, but if you think he looks good, then I can't help you with that.

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year.

      Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.

      I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it

      Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10

      Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run.

      I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
