Scouting report

:arrow_forward: Young, Orioles: Undrafted out of Louisiana-Lafayette, the 6-6 Texan made his big-league debut on Saturday, allowing three runs in four innings against the Reds. He has a four-pitch mix — 94-mph four-seamer, cutter, curveball and slider. He lingered in High A and Double A for two years before breaking out last year, posting 132 strikeouts and just 37 walks in 111 innings between Double A and Triple A.

:arrow_forward: Mize, Tigers: Hitters are 7 for 52 (.134) combined against his four-seam fastball and splitter. And against the split, which he is throwing between 88 and 90 mph with 3 inches of induced vertical break and 14.5 inches of arm-side run, they are whiffing at a 37% clip. He’s holding hitters to a .182 average and .560 OPS and has allowed just four extra base hits, three of them homers.

Seems they’ve moved Mize up in the order. I was tracking Jobe for today’s start.

Baltimore has been playing like shit recently. We need to take advantage.

I think the two Montero starts allowed Hinch to adjust the rotation and give Jobe another extra day. I’m curious if Jobe is on any type of inning limits for this season.

If memory serves I don’t believe he has logged a ton of innings in his minor league career.

So, if I’m accurate, he threw 91 innings in 2024 and 64 innings in 2023.

So, has to be on some type of limit, 120-130innings

Makes sense. Arm management for the youngster.

It makes much more sense to have him skip starts now, or push starts back to save innings now so he doesn’t have to be shut down during the playoffs.

Those numbers were from scout friends not me to be fair to them. They suspect 130ip for this season maybe 140 with postseason.

Don’t be shocked to see more Montero starts or Holton who is lighting up AA

And remember Cobb is rehabbing and should be back by May/June so he can absorb some starts as well.

Lol. Whats olson problem. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Someone has to suck… :grinning:

I guess so. Looks like mize finally made it

Pitching staff is in shambles with injuries.

Nearly an entire pitching staff is on their injured list with Grayson Rodriguez, Zach Eflin, Tyler Wells, Kyle Bradish, Chayce McDermott, Albert Suarez, Andrew Kittredge and Cody Poteet all sidelined.

Good luck overcoming that. And old man Charlie Morton is cooked… 10 plus ERA. Dude is freaken my age. Lol

O’s have no pitchers to begin with…double header is a huge advantage for the tigers who have a mostly healthy pitching staff.
