  1. Need a DP so we don’t get Babe Maton up with men on base.
  2. Spencer Torkelson f***ing sucks. Great pitch though.
  3. Bassitt’s curve is a surprisingly legit pitch at only 70, helps that he has a faster variant at 73-75 with more lateral movement.
  4. He’s also averaging two more inches of drop (vertical movement) on his sinker compared to last year, 3 more compared to 2021. The slider has similar drop (+1 inch vs 2022 but it already broke a lot so the difference is more negligible), but the big difference is it’s breaking 3 inches less horizontally, down from 8 last season. So the slider shape has in fact changed, he’s emphasizing the vertical drop over less horizontal movement while the sinker is also dropping more but with similar side-to-side.
  5. He’s also getting more whiffs on his sinker, which is probably making the slider play up even more. That, or him throwing his slider more frequently, which is an excellent pitch, is making his power sinker even more effective. The sinker has been incredibly valuable for him this season, already as much as of all last season.
  6. Kiermaier’s been no stranger to the IL the last few seasons. Let him get a breather here and there so he can continue his magic in the field for longer stretches and when it matters the most.
  7. Orioles games are basically an average Coors experience. Their pitching is as bad as their hitting is good. There’s been multiple bombs over the Candem wall in this game alone.
  8. Romano’s statcast page is all in the hot red except for his walk rate. His stuff has been excellent and he simply is not allowing hard contact.
  9. I honestly think Romano’s slider is becoming a Mariano esque pitch. You know the odds of him dropping one are very high, but the depth it has at the velocity he throws it at makes in a nearly impossible pitch to hit, let alone square up. The fact that he also averages 97 on a fastball with good shape is what makes him so good in general. For him, the fastball plays off the slider, not the other way around. He’s been throwing it over half the time since last season and the results keep showing. I understand the frustration when he’s not commanding it so he’s still spamming it and missing, but it’s not like when Romano struggles it’s because the slider is getting hit around. If he’s not commanding the slider odds are he’s also not commanding his fastball, which to begin with he has a more difficult time putting it in the zone where he wants it.
  10. Gausman had 20 swings and misses last night. His splitter had a whiff rate of 58% lmao. Silly stuff from the ace.
  11. I think Soto just has a case of the Vlad-itis. He was also putting a few too many balls into the ground. Last season it sort of appears as if he tried to fix it, but in the process went too far in the opposite direction as his FB and IFFB rate shot up, so his BABIP tanked as well. I think he'll regress, he's still walking at an incredible clip, not striking out very much and hitting the ball hard. Once he gets his swing in order and his luck stabilizes he'll be back to being a monster. Hell he had a .406 xwOBA coming into this game, and that's before he homered and doubled today to bring his ISO to .260. Soto is fine. It's just a bit of overcorrection on his part combined with some bad luck.
  12. 17.2 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 3 HR, 6 BB, 2 HBP, 19 K 26.4% K%, 18.1% K-BB%, .156 AVG, .167 BABIP, 72.5% LOB 3.06 ERA, 4.88 FIP FIP is horrendous because he keeps giving up bombs. K/BB is decent, would be nice to know what the stuff is looking like.
  13. Thank god Ross didn’t listen to the haters and kept elite lefty option Tim Mayza on this roster, so that our astute manager can use him in the highest of leverage spots so he can dominate elite hitters for the win.
  14. 4 WAR players tend to make All-Star games.
  15. Moreno has been garbage too lol Sure have loved having Varsho on this team though!
  16. Ohtani is going to see Tim’s nasty sinker in his dreams. Takes one that started in the RHH’s box down the middle, swings at trash because of how rattled he was by the movement, nowhere close. And then he does it again and is lucky to even make contact with it. Totally dominated. He’s gonna think about this during his free agency, whatever team allows him to face Tim f***ING Mayza the least.
  17. Not the Sheriff that’s for sure.
  18. Yes Romano is the problem with the bullpen.
  19. Classic Biggio getting rung up on a clear ball.
