Yes.  You’ve said that even in years where we led the league in sac flies.

This Red Sox staff is going away from fastballs and throwing more junk stuff…Os may have more trouble with this staff as the season goes on.

The Andrew Bailey approach

Hopefully Grayson found something after the second inning to carry over to the next start.

72% str%.  28% swingstr%.
 

 

Why was he getting lit up?   Was it a command issue?

I just came in here to say that when a lefty can throw three 91 mph Fastballs in the strike zone ans you strike out, you can not claim to be one of the best players in baseball.

Gunnar with one of his most embarrassing at bats in thr major leagues.

Sure Austin Hays sucked it up, and Mateo sucked it up, but they are no supposed to be on the best players in MLB.

 

I get having some patience maybe early in the game. Maybe you have some with no one on base. You can't take hittable pitches with the bases loaded. You have to be excited to do damage.

Bernardino looks like a giant Joey Ortiz.

The Orioles need to call him Mr. Bernardino the way he's treating them like Little Leaguers.

No way with his stuff he should be dominating them. Yet hear we are gettin absolutely embarrased by 91-92 mph Fastball in the middle of the plate.

Almost t comical watching them try and hit this clear dominant reliever with unhittable stuff.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
