Posted by Frobby,

This seems like a good day for a general DSL check-in. The DSL Orioles Orange team lost today but is 14-7 overall.   Going into today's play, they were in first place in the DSL Northwest Division and had the 5th best record of any DSL team.  They were 15th of 51 DSL team at 6.20 runs per game, and 14th in fewest runs allowed per game at 4.80.   So, nicely above average in both respects.    DSL Orioles Black won today to raise their record to 8-12.   They are a micron ahead of Orange a

Good update

Orange lost to the Angels in the opener of their best of three playoff series, 4-3 in 10 innings.  They had a shot to tie it up with a runner on 3B and one out in the bottom of the 10th, but Ariander Mejia struck out and after a walk, Felix Amparo popped out to end the game.  That makes tomorrow an elimination game for Orange.   

Series even at 1-1.   A combined 9 IP, 1 run, 4 H, 3 walks, and 13 K by Esteban Mejia and Kevin Velasco.   Pitching choices for game 3 look slim.  I’m guessing Juan Rasquin followed by regular bullpen options.   They essentially used 4 starters over the first two games.

From DSL box score watching, it seems like both teams got off to a good start today.   DSL Orioles Orange beat DSL Dodgers Bautista 8-6. Top four lineup spots were: 1. Emilio Sanch

I beat you to the punch!  It’s surprising that Orange used all its top pitchers in the first two games.  I guess they were really focused on staving off elimination today at all costs.

Leading indicator of AL wildcard series tactics?

Pitching deployment can get weird in a 3-game setup if you go down 0-1.     Velasco today would be I guess like Grayson Rodriguez following Zach Eflin should Corbin Burnes lose game 1, as he is doing a good deal recently.

Kevin Velasco didn't get the Keeler Morfe bump, but he looks like an interesting guy for 2025.    

They wouldn't send Morfe back for one last Saturday, would they?

Hah, no, they wouldn’t.  What they did do was move Esteban Luna from the Black team to the Orange team at about the time Morfe was promoted.

Orioles Orange evened their series with the DSL Angels today, prevailing 4-3.   Esteban Luna pitched the first four innings, allowing just one run, and Kevin Velasco followed by throwing 5 shutout frames to seal the win.   The two combined struck out 13 while allowing only 4 hits.  Orange had 12 hits and 5 stolen bases, so it’s surprising they only scored 4 runs.  The rubber game is tomorrow.  

Esteban Mejia.

Esteban Mejia.

Thanks for the correction.  I sometimes get them confused.  Luna was on the Black team but was moved to Orange a couple of weeks ago.   He last pitched on Aug. 20, so we probably won’t see him in this series.

They’re both 17 and appear to be legit prospects but I believe Mejia throws 2-3 mph harder at this point.  I think Luna is 89-92 and Mejia is more 92-95 but it should be fun to follow both.   Really, between those two, Morfe, Heredia, and Velasco, it’s an interesting bunch.

Meija’s fastball was 96-98 in the 1st, averaging ~97.  It was 95-97 in the 4th, averaging ~96.

Velasco’s fastball was 90-94 in the 5th, averaging ~92.  It was 89-92 in the 9th, averaging ~90. 

Also, the great Velasco height mystery is solved.   Listed at 6’11” but apparently that was a typo and I’m guessing he’s probably 6’1” and someone has a heavy typing finger.

Great stuff.   Thanks for finding and posting.

Stellar relief performance by Name I Learned Today Juan Rasquin.

He had a not that great walk rate in season but 7/1 K/BB through 4.1 relief innings (and counting?) today.

Angels starter is finally out of the game - bats have 8 outs left to try and rally from 2-0 down.

Orange fell 3-0, garnering only 6 hits during what turned out to be the season finale.  Still, it was a great season for them and I’ll look forward to following many of these players stateside next year.

I blame it on:

1. Team leadership

2. The hitters mailed it in

3. The manager lacked fire

4. The team didn’t want it enough

 

Just release every player on the Orange team to send a message to next years players.   
 

Sound pretty stupid?    Thank you.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
