Yesterday was Baltimore's home opener, teams without a roof tend to have the next day without a game in case of postponement due to weather on the scheduled opening day.
He's been awful. It's one thing as a hitter to start out rough or not have balls dropping for hits in the first few weeks, but when you're a fringe reliever as is and can't throw strikes that's a big no.
The entire starting lineup plus everyone who's pitched is under 30, our second oldest player today is 27. If anything this game is proof of the exact opposite.
It's not just the lack of strikezone, the lack of velocity is even more damning. They should have a backup to at least display velocity on the game box when the zone goes in the shitter.
Friendly reminder that Trevor Bauer is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Not only is his stuff great, but because he works out all offseason with the driveline guys his spin rate is ridiculous and his pitch tunneling is probably among the best in the league.
He's a bit old but he's shown strikeout ability throughout the minors which is always a big positive, could indicate that if being a depth starter doesn't work out he could have some success out of the bullpen.
