I can’t wait till like season eight of the homer hose where it’s as complex as an anime.

“Whichever relief pitcher chooses the right count in which a swing and miss happens BEFORE a HR must fetch the COLDEST bottle of water…”

#Orioles RHP Kyle Bradish (right UCL sprain) has tossed 3 scoreless innings for Double-A Bowie vs. Altoona. He has allowed only 1 hit and struck out 4.

At 44 pitches (26 strikes), Bradish's 1st rehab start is likely complete.

Shrink the size of the bird so it fits a bit better and I will wear this to every formal function I can.

He never takes a day off.

There's only one pitch in baseball with a sub .100 wOBA allowed (min 100 thrown):

Shota Imanaga's four-seam.

The moment all four Orioles drink from the Hydration Station after a grand slam is probably going to be the most viral moment in Orioles history.

Maybe it’s been Jordan Westburg all along?

Here's when I love stuff like Baseball Savant (SavantTips):

Pearson pitches yesterday & I'm like, 'wow, he's really getting far down the mound, and his arm slot looks really low (giving him almost like an upward trajectory to the top of the zone with his fastball)...

Some other findings:

NYY/SF/PIT zigging while everyone's zagging: increased first pitch FF rate by over 10%. All three of those teams have seen a decrease in first pitch SLG allowed.

4 clubs have dropped first pitch FF% by >5%: COL/TEX/MIL/BAL. SLG allowed🔼🔼🔼 for TEX/MIL/BAL

Fastball usage when behind in the count is currently at its lowest rate in the pitch-tracking era.

Some more small sample size fun.

Three qualified SPs have a FIP under 2.00:

1. Reid Detmers: 1.46
2. Shota Imanaga: 1.55
3. Zac Gallen: 1.98

Craig Kimbrel picks up career save number 420.

Called strikes today for Colin Rea and Corbin Burnes

In his first 11 PA as a Pittsburgh Pirate, Joey Bart is slashing .400 / .500 / 1.100 with 2 HR.

My god is this funny

That’s the first run the Orioles have put up in the first inning since March 30th.

Current fWAR leaders (min 30 PA):

1. Mookie Betts: 1.5
2. Bobby Witt Jr.: 1.2
T-3. Colton Cowser: 1.0
T-3. Juan Soto: 1.0
T-3. Anthony Volpe: 1.0
T-3. Spencer Steer: 1.0

Paul Skenes challenges this strike 3 call for his 8th punch out through 3 innings of work. Unbelievable.

#LetsGoBucs

So incredibly thrilled for Jason Benowitz that he got to see Colton Cowser hit a HR in person tonight.

COLTON COWSER HAVE A SERIES.

His 2nd HR of the night but this one to RF
