So, Mr Perez has a team option for next year of 2.2 million…they’ll probably pick it up.

Momma, teach your kids to throw a fastball…

Yuck.  He has been terrible this season.  He isn't even very effective against lefties because he can't throw strikes.  O's need to trade for Sam Moll or another reliable lefty--there is nobody out there right now that I trust in a matchup situation.

And throw that fastball left handed southpaws bounce around forever. T.J. McFarland has been in MLB for a decade now.

I’m hoping Elias gets a couple bullpen arms next week so Perez doesn’t have pitch in many high leverage situations.

Perez is fine in the 6th inning when you need a groundball, but he's just not very clutch. Batters are slashing .381/.458/.524/.982 off him with 2 outs and RISP.

Saying that, he's actually been pretty good until last night when he was putrid. 

Now, he was rusty last night after not pitching for 6 days, but prior to this outing he hadn't allowed in a run in his last 9 games covering 8 innings. I'm not ready to throw him away, and it's always tough when a reliever blows a tie or close game late, but let's face it, this offense wasn't scoring against Miami's bullpen anyways.

Perez picked up the win today.  It rare the official scorer doesn’t pick the guy by the letter of the law but apparently the homer Webb gave up took his win from him and he gave it to Perez, that or Perez tossed him a few bucks.

Count me as someone who likes having Perez on the team.  He can be inconsistent, but he competes his butt off.  That roar he let out when he closed out Miami in the 10th on Thursday was classic.

I wondered about that all the way home.  Can't think of the last time the official scorer made such a decision.  

Anyone?

Webb recorded the 3rd out in the 5th without incident.  Then he gave up a 2-run HR in the 6th.  But he finished the 6th. 

Perez comes on in the 7th.

I gotta think that the Official Scorer will change this.  Just doesn't make sense..

I wish official scorers exercised their discretion like that more often.

I like guys who compete and are good.  They don’t need to yell for me to like them..they need to get guys out.

Perez is another guy who you can’t reasonably believe if he comes into the game in a tough situation that he is going to be successful.

Interesting.  He’s 2-0, has 2 saves and 13 holds, and hasn’t blown a save all year.  He’s allowed 26% of inherited runners to score, well below league average.  He has a .451 OPS against in high leverage situations.  He’s pitched in 14 games where the O’s had a 1-2 run lead or the game was tied, and has allowed a run exactly one time.  So, I’d say he’s been pretty damned successful in tough situations.

    • If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.
    • Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.
    • Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday. I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur. The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th. Let's get a sweep, guys.
    • I don’t care what Slater did before he came to us this season. Just like I didn’t care what Hicks did before he came to us last year.  Since we acquired Slater he has a .707 OPS vs LHP and Cowser has a .500 OPS vs LHP.  It’s a coin flip. If we stick to what we’ve done, then it will be Slater. He hasn’t not started versus a LH SP since we acquired him.  I’m good with him or Cowser. Mullins is a lock. If I had to bet I’d think the lineup will be, 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Westburg 2B R 3. Santa RF S 4. Mounty 1B R 5. Adley DH S 6. Slater LF R 7. Urias 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. McCann C R
    • So he pitched on it last season?
    • Without Looking - Do you know who was second in Innings Pitched?  Pretty incredible.
    • Looks like it began on Friday, Sep 15 and ended on Sunday, Sep 17.
