    Rough game for Vladdy

    Wow, Jose Abreu is like mega cooked. Astros fall from grace might be here. Not even 2 years ago they won the World Series and had front office superstar James Click running baseball ops. Dude built one of the best bullpens of all time. Jim Crane and Jeff Bagwell then turned full boomer and started making head scratching decisions after one another.

    Wow what a play by Bobby Witt Jr.

    Another 0-3 with 2K today Mega bust.

    Big stretch of games coming up 3 @ Padres 4 @ Royals 3 vs. Dodgers 3 vs. Royals Padres have been swinging it early in the season, Dodgers are Dodgers, and Royals have had a hot start.

    And Cabrera really extended himself with going 2 innings too, which is out of the ordinary.

    First brutal loss of the season, but hard to be mad at a series win and 6-2 home stand. What's important is things are trending up. Gausman looked closer to his old self. Varsho might be reverting to his Arizona version or even better. Genesis Cabrera looked filthy. Kiermaier had a good day at the plate.

    Imagine being the GM that gave away Daulton Varsho for a slap-hitting catcher Couldn't be Atkins

    2 homer game for Damiano Palmegiani

    Jared Jones: next Spencer Strider? Dude was sitting 98-99 mph today against the Mets. Absolutely nasty.

    Pete Walker really is a magician. Kikuchi, Berrios, and Bassitt might be the best versions of themselves right now. Shout out to David Howell too. I followed his research from afar from before he was with the Jays. What an incredibly shrewd hire he’s been.
  12. Ray
    He was around 90-93 mph out of high school, but this article I found says he was sitting at 93-94 and maxed out at 96: https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2024/4/10/24125429/taking-wing-landen-maroudis So already a bit of a velo bump, but definitely room for more projection. He's not even turning 20 until December. Beautiful and simple delivery too.

    2 homer day for Alan Roden Another 3 hits for Spencer Horwitz raising his avg to .395 Orelvis homered Barger, Palmegiani, and Robertson with good days Landon Moroudis with a pretty good outing Great day for Jays prospects. Org sweep with every affiliate winning too.

    Also crazy to think that the O's are looking like they are about to hit on almost EVERY top pick they had for the past 5 years: 2018: Gray-Rod (early signs that he can be a top of the rotation arm, provided he can stay healthy) 2019: Rutschman (looking like a perennial all-star/MVP candidate) 2020: Kjerstad (absolutely raking in the minors and should be good) 2021: Cowser (raked in the minors, hot start this season) 2022: Holliday (should be an elite player) Even the Astro's fumbled some picks during their bad years (Brady Aiken, Mark Appel). They ended up being fine in the long run, but tanking teams don't always have a spotless track record in the top of the draft

    What's honestly impressive to me is their record in later-round picks. Like obviously Rutschman, Kjerstad, and Holliday were top-of-the-draft talents only they had access to, but every team passed on Henderson, Norby and Mayo and other O's top prospects. It's reminiscent of the ability the Dodgers have had for almost a decade now being able to identify and develop talent despite picking in the backend of the draft. I was hoping Shapiro/Atkins regime would be better at that after a strong start picking Biggio and Bichette in the 2016 draft, but we just haven't been able to keep up. I'm not sure if there's misalignment between our draft folks and player development folks or we've just been straight unlucky since it is a bit of a crapshoot.

    Baltimore’s lineup is absurdly good 1. Henderson 2. Rutschman 3. Santander 4. Mountcastle/O’Hearn platoon 5. Mullins 6. Westburg 7. Cowser 8. Hays 9. Holliday And they still have Connor Norby, Coby Mayo, Heston Kjerstad, and Kyle Stowers absolutely raking in the minors as depth options.
  17. Ray
    Horwitz out to a scorching hot start in AAA: .379/.539/.517 with 10 walks and 5K. Even if there is no power to speak of and he's a weird fit on the roster, he could look really good somewhere in the bottom of our order. His career slash line in the minors is .304/.410/.465, which is mind-boggling. That's elite production.

    Excited to see how the renovations look on TV. Hopefully we also get to see the upgraded clubhouse and player facilities. Always curious to see how the under the hood stuff looks.
  19. Ray
    The very first pitch Gausman threw was an 88mph fastball Really hope he’s not hurt.
  20. Ray
    Turners gonna tie it up here
  21. Ray
    Framber is a good pitcher, but the approaches have been pitiful tonight.
  22. Ray
    I’m not going to overreact to one game, especially against a good Astros team. But the offense looks not much different than last year, if not worse.
  23. Ray
    Cavan really missed a middle middle changeup that was basically a bp fastball. Oof
  24. Ray
    Bowden has overpowered some pretty good hitters tonight tbh. Stuff clearly plays. He’s gotten some funky swings. Props to the Astros though. They really capitalized on his mistake pitches.
  25. Ray
    We were supposed to sign #9 ranked overall IFA Kennew Blanco (6' 2" RHH SS) but seems like he reclassified to next year?
