Fell behind some hitters but you really can't complain.  He was pretty overpowering

He didnt have his command, but his stuff was great, the pitch count felled him.I'm encouraged.I also think Bradish is a bulldog, and very dependable.If Means is also legit, I thought about one of the starters in the pen to close...maybe Irvin?Or as wild as it may seem....Grayson. Of course we may have Tyler Wells, or we might bring up Povich or McDermott...If Means looks good again and has no pain...The Orioles have a surplus of good arms and good pitchers...but they gotta move Kimbrel out of there..

What an outing!   7 innings of no-hit ball, 11 K’s.  You could tell he was tiring at the end, but he was determined to get through 7 IP.   Ace stuff today.

For the amount of weird nonsense that occurred during his start, I thought he looked awesome.  -Bee -Catcher's interference -HBP where the batter didn't try to move -McCann dropped foul tip

I don’t agree he looked like 2023 Bradish. He didn’t miss bats or throw strikes to the level he did in 2023. But he still looked very good and, more importantly, he pitched.  Now, let’s see if he

Hyde said he's sticking with him, we'll see how much rope he gets.

Super encouraged that Bradish stuff looks as nasty as last year.  His metrics are even better so far: whiff% 30.4 (vs 25.9 last year), groundball% 59.1 (vs 49.1 last year).  As Big Ben mentioned, he has upped usage of 2 seamer in lieu of 4 seamer while rest of offspeed offerings are similar to last season for slider and curveball.

Was going to post that earlier as well. The whiff and GB% being up is great. Velocity looks good too. His stuff+ is considerably down from last year in a SSS though, mostly due to his 4 seamer (which he hardly uses), his slider (from 171 to 136 which would’ve been top 5 among qualifiers last year), and his changeup (from 97 to 26). 

His current stuff+ still would’ve been top 10 last year among qualifiers, that’s just down from being 2nd overall (behind Burnes). He’s only thrown 20 4S’s and 2 changeups so both (even smaller) SSS. The slider is down just a hair velo wise. Not sure if the spin is down but he’s getting more whiffs on it.

I thought Bradish looked great last night, especially in the 5th. Everything was sharp and they had no chance.

Very encouraging signs from what felt like a really dire situation. 

No chance is right.  He ran into some command and control issues early but when his stuff was working, they couldn’t touch it.

I’m shocked at how well things are looking right now…which is about the feeling I figure I will have right before the shoe drops.

The velo he got in the 1st last night when he needed to was impressive. I dont remember any 98s from him last year. Good sign that his arm is feeling good. When he's healthy, he is such a good pitcher.

I'm happy for him, the team and us fans, but I'm still nervous about his arm. Obviously having him start every 5th day makes the team better. There's a small list of pitchers that have been able to get by without the surgery...I hope he's one of them.

Yeah, this whole Kimbrel drama situation is really taking away from how unbelievable this Bradish situation has turned out. I don’t think anyone would’ve guessed back to top 5 CYA level within 40 games into the season. Not a chance. But he’s there. We are beyond spoiled with SP right now compared to where we’ve been. 

Best rotation since the 96-97 teams?  2014?  Better?

All in all a decent start today considering the opponent and he had no ST. Honestly, I can’t believe we have him back. We’re taking this rotation for granted right now. 

Burnes, Bradish, Grayson, Irvin, Kremer/Means

Probably top 5 in MLB

Blue Jays did an amazing job of spoiling good two-strike pitches today.   They made Bradish work for every out after the first inning.  

Also, Bradish’s command of his slider wasn’t the best after the first inning.

Bradish had excellent stuff tonight in his rain-shortened outing in St. Louis.  5 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s.  He three 52 of 74 pitches for strikes.  It’s a shame the rain kept him from pitching deeper into the game.  

There were a few annoying moments: an 0-2 HBP and an 0-2 count that ended in a walk.  But overall, a very good outing.

Shame Cedric just missed that ball. If we're up 1-0 do they just make the game a final or do they still play it tomorrow? Confusing rule at times. Not sure what the Home Plate Ump would decide. The start is really early tomorrow. I guess he might have made it official but who knows.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.

      Before Elias.  They generally haven’t missed on a 1st round or 1st round comp pick with the position players.   I trust they’ll make a good decision at #22 and #32.   Their track record in rounds 2-4, particularly on college position players and specifically the last three drafts is suspect.

      Anyone want to guess what it would take to get Crochet from the White Sox?  We could send SG over to ask politely and remind them of what they missed out on Ortiz.  I'm sure that wouldn't stir up a hornet's nest.
