Holliday still struggling. Read that his 1-30 start is the worst through 9 games since Gary Disarcina in 1990. (Lifetime Angel...hmmmm, I can make use of that information.)

As truly dreadful as his .033/.094/.033 (.127 OPS) is... it's really the 2BB:16K that's more concerning (should note it was 1BB:15K before yesterday).
He was 138BB:138K for his MiLB career (12BB:8K this year).

Albert Suarez, huh. No MLB appearances since 2017 and 11 scoreless innings in two starts.
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 04:33 (one month ago) link
definitely curious to see if opposing hitters catch up to suarez. his stuff looks legit to my untrained eyes.
― j.q higgins, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 14:37 (one month ago) link
Suarez is surely the Jim Traber of 2024 but I'm enjoying this for as long as it lasts

That is a surprise. Happened with Delgado and Halladay and no doubt many others who came back fine. Hopefully his confidence not too shaken.
― clemenza, Friday, 26 April 2024 17:38 (one month ago) link
heck, cowser came up before the asb last year, got sent back down in august and that was that until spring training. seems okay, too.

One impressive stat is he somehow scored 5 runs despite only 2 BBs & 2 singles.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 26 April 2024 18:00 (one month ago) link
...and 1 HBP. I guess you could say he's very productive once he gets on base.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 26 April 2024 18:02 (one month ago) link
Henderson's HR last night makes him the the youngest player ever to hit 10 before May 1st.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 19:04 (one month ago) link
Feel like that's a tricky stat as opening day began around April 22 then over time shifted to the second Saturday in April and now in 2024 we had games played on March 28.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 30 April 2024 19:16 (one month ago) link
...but still impressive!
Still surprised in that he's 22, and there have been a number of Griffey- and Matthews-type players who were already regulars at 19 or 20 (another: Giancarlo Stanton). I would have thought one of them would have done that.

first i had heard about the shoulder inflammation that supposedly put him on the dl was...when they put him on the dl. no idea whether or not it's legit.
also curious to see how bradish is used going forward.
― j.q higgins, Thursday, 2 May 2024 15:10 (one month ago) link
feel like this sort of thing is maybe more common these days, but everyone in the o's starting infield today is a former shortstop.

Feel like the A's did that in the Moneyball era (at least moving SSs to 2B/3B)? I know the A's were also starting 3x CFs in their outfield for a while when CFs were undervalued.

I was one of those doomers who thought last year was our best chance to win, but I thought the rest of the AL East would be better this year than they've been, and I didn't think we were going to change ownership and sign a guy like Burnes.

just tuned into the orioles game and they had a shot of the new owner walking up and down the aisles in the stands giving out merch from the team store...new era hats, things of that nature. i also blinked and they'd scored a couple more runs.
