Brito gets another shot to prove himself. Let's not let Baltimore build confidence against us for the season, eh?
4/8 - Yanks @ Balt
- Thread starter Murderer's Crow
- Start date
There is a big opportunity here for Brito, if he is effective again, he will almost certainly vault Schmidt as NY's current number 4 and then Schmidt would be the first one optioned down when Rodon or Severino is back (both throwing bullpens now).
I’ll be in attendance at the game tonight, I’m kinda excited to see how fast the game moves when you are in the stadium.
Nice! With a lefty going for BAL, good chance you get Hicks in the lineup, so when he resuscitates his career starting tonight, you can take full credit.
I’ll say this. O’s fans have a lot more swagger and energy compared to recent years:
They are def excited.
They are def excited.
DJ scores on Judge’s fly to medium center. Close play at plate. DJ slides around tag. He is running well.
The way salaries are rising, Stanton is almost underpaid, especially if you just count what the Yanks are paying him ($29M).
Brito fans Rutschman to end fifth on this pitch sequence: 79 mph curve, 87 change, 88 change. He hits 95 with his fast ball so that’s 16 mph difference from heat to slow curve.
Must be pretty cool to be there for one of those! Although blink and you miss it as it heads into orbit...
Gleyber of course has been incredible so far but he was projected as a 4 WAR player, Brito was actually optioned down to minor league camp before Rodon and Severino couldn't go, and again to AAA in between his first two starts (not sure if he actually went, he did not pitch there). He has been NY's savior through 7+ games, he didn't even have his best stuff tonight but he does not give in.
He fields his position, too. Made a real athletic play on a chopper towards first base.
I remember that number from your posts on the topic but Cot’s confused me. Not hard to do.
Volpe snags a liner for second out in ninth. He should feel good about tonight. And build on it.
Good win.
Good win.
2 hours, 47 minutes. Not especially fast but an hour shorter than most Yankee games in Baltimore.
There are two sets of numbers there, actual money owed on the left and AAV on the right. AAV for him is 25 but MIA pays 3 of it annually, actual money owed is 32 (29+3).

His change is incredible, those two above were almost identical pitches back to back and Rutschman was nowhere near either.
I love the beginning of the season surprises. Gleyber, Stanton, and Brito. Would be good if King can hit his stride.
It got out fast. The wall being pushed back doesn’t matter much for guys like Stanton and Judge.
Yeah it definitely moved quickly, not a lot of non-action on the field, which was really nice. It was a little cold at the stadium for sure.
But once again, shout-out to the Orioles and Camden Yards for having free tickets for kids in the upper deck. Saves me $120 bucks.
Velocity is still down a bit but he looked better last night.

Too bad Abreu let in Nestor’s runs, but he did seem out of gas.
Cordero gave up a HR and almost a second but his stuff is absurd. He threw one pitch that broke down so much I thought it was a change, then I saw it was 99.
Also YES credited Franchy’s HR to Jimmy, I need to find a pic.

It says Jimmy at the top as he’s rounding the bases.

I like that Jimmy only needed 13 pitches to get 3 outs. He threw 11 strikes. I thought he would be more of a wild man. Jimmy did good.
