Jake!

I’ve been told he’s maybe good enough to be a 5th OF. We shouldn’t count his hostels only his cold ones. And the glove work doesn’t count. But the arm does. Totally makes sense. 

Kids pitched really well to have thrown 70 pitches in 3 innings and given up two runs. OT’s of trash contact gone against him.

Last fastball was 90.5

Everything else was 93-94

last cutter the pitch before was 3 mph lower than what it had been too

 

edit: actually the last pitch the inning before on the Meyers catch is listed as an 88 mph four-seamer

 

why the hell was he sent back out there?

Espada is a big dummy.

O’s color guy, former ML P Dave Johnson, spoke just yesterday in NY about studies correlating the number of pitches in an inning to arm issues … he said 30 pitches of max effort is the tipping point from muscle fatigue to tissue breakdown.

Johnson seemed surprised Bloss came back out for T4 based on pitch count … including 35 in the third.  Hope he doesn’t have a lasting problem … nice start.

This would seem like useful for our staff to know…

but it also presupposes they know how to count

Great, best new guy we have seen this year and we break him.

Loperfiso strikes out so much not because of his swing and miss but because he watches a metric shit ton of pitches right down the middle. 

Feels like he is trying to be patient at the wrong, then he gets behind 0-2 and they feed him dirtballs.

He does, but when he doesn't his chances of getting a hit are good.

So far. His babip is ridiculously unsustainable. I like him ok but he’s got to get his K% below 30 if he’s going to stick.
