I’m not sure that’s true, at least anymore.

Between all the injuries and the dramatic drop in statcast numbers, especially by the starters, I wonder what’s going on there.

They have the same pitching coach but I wonder if they have changed philosophies and it’s hurting these guys.  
 

We have already heard Rogers say he has gotten more feedback in his short time here than he has in his whole career.

Yes that’s the tweet with Rogers’ quote I posted originally. Maybe something happened with Miami this year, I don’t know, but they developed a lot of good pitchers in recent years, including Rogers prior to this season.

The fact that the Mets were also after Rogers is a sign that there is something that the analytically inclined teams think they can improve. The Mets like a lot of the same pitchers the Orioles do (this season alone, Reed Garrett, Yohan Ramírez, Jorge Lopez and Fuji).

I have no doubt the Orioles think there is more upside to be unlocked with Rogers with adjustments, I’m just saying Miami hasn’t exactly been a hopeless pitching organization in recent years like the Rockies.

Yes, tonight is a big one for Roger’s. He doesn’t have to be lights out, if he can go 5-6 innings and give up 3 runs or less that would be a good place to start. But the way we are swinging the bats, that might add up to a loss.

The way we are swinging the bats?  The O’s are averaging 5.78 runs per game since the all star break.

Miami isn’t a mess when it comes to developing pitchers, though. But I agree the Orioles don’t do this trade unless they think there is something more to unlock with Rogers. 

This is how I see it.  Miami has generally been pretty good at developing pitchers.  We may see things Rogers can improve; whether those things can be implemented very quickly isn’t clear.  So, whatever happens this year, I won’t make assumptions about the 2025 version.

Whatever they do, I hope they figure out what was making him miss arm side to every RHH. Then he'd have to force one inside while down in the count and got clobbered. 

He did have some 94s in his first Oriole start, but it wasn't consistent. 

I also felt like Cleveland was stealing signs on him, but no way to prove that, just a hunch I had that whole game.

Yea it’s weird stuff. I looked at several of their starters and the statcast page were way different from previous years for basically all of them.

Really surprised me because, like you said, they have been really good at developing pitching recently. 
 

But for it to be such a drop off for several guys is more of a pattern than a coincidence to me.

Remember Scherzer complaining how the Mets piching lab/analytics wasn't up to snuff compared to his prior teams.  That could be the case with Miami and then coming to the O's.  We could just have better analytics that they didn't have.

    • No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.  
    • Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!  
    • His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.
    • And the thing is it's not like the Orioles have only been struggling just in September but since about mid June. I'm not sure if Texas or Arizona played like 6 games under 500 as the Orioles have for 3 months but if they did feel free to tell me. 
    • Yeah it's interesting because we thought the run D would struggle and the pass D would be a strength. The run D has been very solid through 2 games. 
    • I’m going straight positive on his potential and his trend was going up before the trade. Jake Flaherty comes to mind, based on IP maxing out before the trade. But Roger’s is more a deception Povich type lefty.    Believe ME is going on bounce back potential with a full season in. This guy could be a #3. This was a glad you can pitch season for Rogers.   As a #567 SP, will take it. I like Stowers off the plate hit capability and that is missing in this lineup to some degree. will be following this for years, hopefully! Norby too, as a natural hitter. We need contact hitters!
