WEBVTT - Shane Baz gets no run support as O's fall to Rays in series finale 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.280 Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, the Oriols ended a ten game 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.960 stretch of games against the two best teams not just 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.080 in their division, but in the American League. The Rays, 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.160 the Yankees, and the Rays. They played for the last 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.680 ten games. They lose Sunday against the Rays three to one, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.720 taping the show after that game five and five stretch 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.280 in that ten game run, and now sixty three and 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.080 sixty eight for the season ed Welcome into Berdland territory 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.040 with Steve Maluski, Brad Brock, Tim Barbelace. This is how 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:38.440 mediocre the American League is. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:39.040 Everybody. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.479 At the start of this ten game stretch, the Oriols 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:47.000 were two out for the third wild card, trailing five teams, 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.839 and so as of this morning, before this loss, they 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.640 were one game out trailing three teams in going five 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.240 and four. So you don't have to win a lot 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.280 of games to gain ground in this media or race, 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.200 but they did lose ten games off the calendar. How 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.120 do you guys size up the whole stretch of the 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:08.160 last ten games. 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:10.520 Yeah, I think kind of going into it, you were 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.200 hoping for six and four, and especially when they win 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.800 the first three games of the ten, you're thinking, man, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.160 maybe if they go seven and three or something like that. 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.959 But the five and five, I think you're still above water. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.040 You're still in the race, and you didn't go three 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.080 and seven, you didn't go two and eight, So I 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.640 think you kind of take the five and five. Yes, 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.240 I think it's a little disappointing when you look at 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.959 the winning the first three and then you finish kind 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.360 of two and five in the last seven. But you 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.160 know what, against the best teams in the American League 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.280 five hundred, you're probably taken. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.240 You got to get your wins against everybody else. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.679 So that's kind of the way I look at it. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.240 It's sort of just been like the season, right, this 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.680 roller coaster ride, and I think heading into this ten 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.880 game stretch, I think you would take five and five 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.640 going against two of the better teams in the American League. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.040 In the American League. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.280 But Brad, like you said, you know, expectations kind of 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.040 changed and they ebb and flow throughout the season. So 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.160 when you take the first three of the ten, yeah, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.160 you're getting greety and you're thinking, oh, it's got to 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.240 be six wins at a minimum. Maybe you can go 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.040 seven and three and really shock everybody. But it's just 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.799 a lot of inconsistencies. And right now, you know, the 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.720 O's kind of owned the Rays and the Yankees have 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.880 kind of owned the Orioles, and it's just it ends 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:25.680 up being a wash. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.880 It ends up being a five and five stretch. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.840 So today the storyline was familiar. Unfortunately for Shane Boz 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.560 who has luck this year, it's just all bad. And 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.760 today he's pitching a gem nothing, nothing to the six 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:46.079 two outs, nobody on. He's rolling through six scoreless. When 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.600 that ground balls hit to the left of Jackson Holiday 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.959 was hit one hundred and eight, so yeah, that's some 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.040 pace on it. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.240 It looked at a boll. Jackson didn't get it. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.400 That led to three runs being scored, and the Orioles 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.639 on a day they get two hitch loose three to one. 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.440 I say that was not routine. It was a little 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.160 north of routine. But what did not take an exceptional play. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.120 I don't think they're going to score an air obviously, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.079 then Jackson's gonna probably tell us he should have had 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:14.520 that ball. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.960 Yeah, I think that's kind of what it comes down to. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.000 It wasn't the easiest play, but you think a normal 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.440 major or I would say, like above average major league infielders, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.280 they make that play, and I think Jackson would say 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.240 he probably should have had it. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:27.919 But at the end of the day, when you're. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.480 Pitching, you're on the mound, it's one hit, you know, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.919 and then you just got to get out of the inning. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.560 It's a single into right field and not a huge deal. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.040 Shane would probably say, he's just got to get out 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.200 of that inning, but unfortunately he just he's running into 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.880 bad luck. Like you said, Steve, It's just blows my mind. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.240 It's one of those weird baseball anomalies where certain pitchers 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.800 just do not get run support. And today he pitched 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.600 well enough to get a win and they didn't score 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.680 a run for him. And it's just kind of been 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.440 the stretch he's had all year. The fact that he's 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.040 four and fourteen on the season with how well he's 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.080 been pitching just doesn't make any sense to me. And 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.800 it's just kind of one of those weird baseball stats 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.240 that I feel like happens to at least somebody on 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.120 a team every single year, and Shane Boz it just 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.320 happens to be him this year. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.480 It's like such an extreme guys, you know next year 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.720 he's due for so much run support, right, people has 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.919 to swing so bad in the right direction in twenty 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.960 twenty seven for Shane Boz, but Madison, they kept flashing 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.720 so many different graphics today when it comes to Shane 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.320 Boz and his outings, and I was shocked by. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:29.720 All of them. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.680 In his last twelve starts, the Orioles have given them 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.440 fifteen runs of support and the one that really jumped 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:43.360 out to me, guys, they're two and nine when Shane 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.000 Boz has a quality start two and nine, there's thirty 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.719 one and nine when anyone else has a quality start 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.560 on this staff. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.160 So it's bizarre. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.760 You know, he's given up the most unearned runs on 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.080 the team, but he's been a bulldog and he's really 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.560 I don't think he's really had it affect him in 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.839 a negative way because he still goes out there every fifth, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.000 sixth day and you know what you're getting out of him. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.640 He's a bulldog and he gets gets you deep in games. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.120 No, I think he's a real pro. He had that 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.520 one jam look bad for him. He gets a double play, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:22.560 rolls that and just has never said one discouraging word 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.880 about the clubhouse the offense, and it wouldn't get him anywhere. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.280 It's a team game there there sometime along the wayne 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.320 in his career, maybe not this year, he's gonna give 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.680 up six and they're gonna score eight. You know, that's 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.520 that's gonna happen too. But Brad, what is what do 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.440 you think is the mindset of Boz when this lack 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.200 of offense keeps happening. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.640 Yeah, you know, I think it's a it's a start 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.200 to start thing. But I think in the back of 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.360 his mind he probably is thinking, I got to go 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.560 out there and give up no runs. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:50.760 You know, that's the best way. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.960 To possibly get a win is give up none and 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.480 hopefully we score one and I'll have a shot at 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.000 a win. But I really like to comment Jim Palmer 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.039 me today. He just said, you know, it's not really 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.080 working out for Shane this year, but pitching in these 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.800 tight games like he has all year long is going 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.840 to really help him further on down his career road. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.320 And I think pitching in these types of games really 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:12.279 helps you win. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.680 You need to have a big start in a close game, 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.000 two to one game, three to two game. He's made 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.760 pitches like this all season long, where the offense hasn't 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.920 been scoring, he's had to keep the other teams offense down, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.040 so unfortunately, I mean, who knows, maybe the next month 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.080 get he gets on a roll here and the offense 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.960 scores some runs. His overall record is not going to 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.600 look great, but I think moving forward into next year 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.560 and the seasons after that, he's going to look back 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.440 at this season and really think about all the big 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.440 time pitches he's had to make throughout the year, and 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:41.680 I think it's only going to help him be a 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.400 better pitcher further on down the road. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.799 No, I completely agree where it's just every single inning 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.599 he's in, it's high leverage because the game is just 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:58.080 up for perhaps because he's not given up much, especially 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:03.120 over this last seventeen eighteen start stretch, and obviously the 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.320 Orioles just haven't been scoring in many runs. It's a 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.640 great point by Jim Palmer, you know, just he will 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.400 be better having gone through this. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.360 Yeah, this guy was back today. We'll touch on it 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.840 a little later in the show, The Return of the Mountain. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.520 Felix Bautista pitched at double A today. We'll tell you 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.840 more about that. It didn't go great, but he was 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.680 back in the game. That was the most important thing, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.200 and he was healthy and throwing for double a chesapeak. 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.240 Today we'll touch on that, and we got some offensive 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.560 stats to give you in a minute. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:37.480 And also I want. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.640 To tell you about the fact that the Orioles did 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.880 something for one hundred and twenty one straight games that 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:47.200 they did not do on Sunday against Tampa. Will note 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.320 that in a minute on Birdland Territory. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.080 Hey, for those of you that are on your phone's 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.120 very often, or even if you don't use it much, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.840 you should check out your wireless bill and make sure 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.880 that it is treating you well.

On the home stand, they 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.520 are sixty three and sixty eight for the season, thirty 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.239 one game to go. They would need to win nineteen 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.640 to have a winning season nineteen and twelve or better. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.400 The caveat here is they might not need that many 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.559 to get in the playoffs. That crazy it is in 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.520 American league where you may not have to have a 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.199 winning season to get in this year. But I teased 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.840 that stat guys. The Oriols going going into today had 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.520 gone one hundred and twenty one straight games, drawing at 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.520 least one walk since April sixth, and they did not 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.240 have a walk today. In this three to one loss. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.680 You only had two hits, which, by the way, Colton 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.000 Towser was two for three. Everybody else was over for 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:40.040 twenty seven in that strange including Pete Alonzo, who's fourteen 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.600 game hitting streak ended. But look at this that this 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.240 one is disappointing to me. Go back to that Tampa 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.720 Bay series at the trop they scored twenty six runs 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.400 in four games, eleven for thirty three runners in scoring position. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.640 Last six games Yankees and Rays, they scored fourteen runs 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.760 and they went two for twenty nine. Describes the Oriole 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.080 season in a nutshell. Ten games against good teams, great 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.240 for some of them and miserable for the rest, and 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.520 almost never a middle ground for these guys. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.720 Yeah, and that's I think the most the most shocking 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.000 thing is that there isn't the middle ground ever. I 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.439 feel it's been extremes almost all year. It's been really 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.600 really good or really really poor, and it's just just 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.840 odd that they can't seem to like just keep the momentum, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.120 like we've talked about at nauseam on this show is 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.280 just keeping the momentum going. It's just been really hard 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.760 for them to keep positive, you know, gameplay going throughout 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.240 the season, whether it was the pitching, whether it was 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.560 a hitting, they can't seem to line them up. And 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.280 then you look at this, I mean, twenty six runs 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.679 in those four games in Tampa and then eleven for 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.480 thirty three and then the two for twenty nine at home, 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.640 runners in scoring position. I mean, that's that's really tough 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.840 to win games when you're not getting runners in when 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.920 they're at second base, and that's I mean, why you 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.400 go to four or two and six or sorry, two 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.719 and four at home in this homestand and kind of 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.480 why they got that five and five record the last 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.280 ten games. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.199 Yeah, I think it just perfectly illustrates why it's been 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.560 so difficult for this team to go on sustained runs 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.720 because they're just not able to have any type of consistency. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.320 You know that they only have one win streak over 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.840 four games, and that was the seven game winning streak, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.439 So they're gonna have to go on a run here 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:27.360 at some point to get into this final wildcard spot. 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.960 But it's just disappointing because I remember doing the show 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.760 last Sunday where the Orioles took the first three against 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.800 the Rays, and you're buying into this offense, and even 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.160 losing last Monday against the Rays, that the offense still 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.360 scored and you know, Cano gave it up late. But 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.520 I was buying the turnaround because it just seemed like, 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.480 for the first time in a while, there were multiple 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.920 guys going at the same time. 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.840 It wasn't just Pete, for example. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.199 But it's just kind of reverted over the past handful 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.439 of games since that point. You know, it's been good 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.880 seeing Beavers swing it well. He had three straight games 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.160 with a home run, having that walk off. I mean, 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.680 he's mister walkoff guys, four walk offs already in his 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:13.960 young career. Sam had a big moment yesterday. But there's 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.880 gotta be more to the party. It can't just be 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:17.880 Pete Alonzo. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.920 It was interesting Saturday night interviewing Abernas after the game, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.280 and of course he batted with a man on what 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.679 this man on second for Dylan and no oubts. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.839 Right, he was a leadoff hitter, yes, tent okay, yep. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.600 So he says to him, you can bun him over, 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.880 but I trust you to hit away like he's you know, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.920 you're you do what you want to do. I think 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.719 that's a lot of trust in the young player who 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.280 still is technically a rookie, and he's certainly swinging it 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.560 maybe by the way, which the Birdman territory bump for Dylan. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.599 Yeah, coming about delay since we have on the show. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.720 Guy now can't get him out, especially in the clutch, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.800 and I think that really bodes well for his future, don't. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:06.040 You, guys. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.040 I mean, I'm not predicting starting the eight hundred ops 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.120 all Star appearances, but I think he can be a 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.719 solid hitter. And if you're coming through in those spots, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.640 I think eventually you're gonna start coming through in a 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.520 lot of spots throughout nine innings. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:20.440 Yeah, I think so. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.719 I think it's it can only builde well for his 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.280 future and for his career when he's got all the 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.120 tools and if you can throw the clutch tool and 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.040 they're also I mean, you have a player that's like 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.959 he may, like you said, maybe not a superstar or 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.200 maybe not an All Star, but a very very consistent 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.400 major league player when you're getting runners in when they're 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.000 on second base, and I think he does a really 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.000 good job with that. And like we said, we've talked 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.640 about his defense, we've talked about his base running. Obviously 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.840 has the power, He's got it all there. And I 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.400 think you know that when you have the managers kind 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.520 of blessing, like he said, still in his rookie season, 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.240 that shows a lot. And I think that letting him 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.559 swing away there against one of the better relievers in 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.000 all the American League in the tenth inning on Saturday 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.280 shows a lot. And I think it shows that his 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.199 future is going to be right here in Birdland. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:05.560 Such a smart hitter. 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.559 And see we've said that this is someone that's still 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.080 a rookie. He hasn't played that many games. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:15.040 Yeah, he hasn't played many games yet, and and to 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.800 have this many walk offs, and and look, he has 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.520 all the tools. He's a really athletic player, and when 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.840 he's going well, he's going to give you a professional 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.040 at bat. But you know, Craig albern has clearly has 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.080 the trust of him. And I think he even said 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.320 during one of his walkoffs, slow heartbeat is what he 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:35.880 called Dylan Beavers. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.160 And look, this. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.000 Is kind of the land of opportunity in terms of 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.120 next year for this outfield, because there's probably not a 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.840 position group on this team that's more in flux. So 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.200 if you're Dylan Beavers, if you're anyone in that outfield, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.200 you have a nice thirty game runway here where you 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.600 can make an impression on Michael ISAs in this front 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.920 office and say, hey, you know I deserve to be 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.680 in the opening day starting lineup in this outfield in 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.640 twenty twenty seven. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.400 Yeah, Beavers is such a smart player he's talking about 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.440 you know, I wanted him to bring the ball up, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.880 but I knew I had to react to the change up, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.880 so I was gonna make sure he didn't get a 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.400 high fastball by me, and I could also adjust to 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.200 the change up, which he did get a change up. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.480 I believe that bitch he drilled off the wall to 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.120 win the game. So he's such a cerebral player. I 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.000 saw that on the farm man deep thinker. Somehow he's 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.000 able to take all that deep thinking and turn it 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.520 into a play where he can hit ninety six. You know, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.000 he don't have a lot of time to think there 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.960 when that's happening. And I like what Dustin Lynn said 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.520 about today the Oriols hitting coach. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.680 He said he's got a high floor. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.280 By that, he said, this a really good contact hitter, 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.120 really good strike zone. In other words, the bottom he 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.720 could be is here, but the top could be up here. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.400 And you know, we know he's going to be certain 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.480 level good. We're just waiting to see what level that 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:57.640 finds itself at. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.000 Yeah, and I think that's a great way to describe him. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.280 I think he, like you said, his cerebral hitter, but 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.280 he's got the tools to back up his approach. And 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.440 I think that's when you know, very good players come 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.760 out or guys that have the thinking but can I mean, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.800 like you said, you're trying to react to ninety seven 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.400 at the top of the zone, but you're able to 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:16.560 drop the head on the change up. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:17.680 But there's only. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.560 Certain players that have the tools that are able to 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.360 do that. He's one of those players, and I think 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.880 the thinking side of things can help take him to 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:25.680 that next level. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:26.640 Yeah. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.840 I really like that quote from Dustin Lynn because I 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.080 think when you look at Beaver's and again this is 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.280 still a small sample size for his MLB career, he 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.200 definitely has the makings of a player that can last 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.080 in this league. Now is he going to be a superstar. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.320 We shall see. I don't think we know Dylan Beaver's 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.040 ceiling at this point, and you know he's continuing to 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.840 grow as a major league player. But I am with 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.760 Dustin Lynn. I think he does have a high floor 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.680 in this in MLB. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:02.360 Yeah, for me, Dylan defense could use some improvement. 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.520 He might agree with us. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.919 Even on the farm, the reports I got and what 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.399 little I saw was better than what we've seen in 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.359 the major league. So I'm not sure what drills or 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.080 work or facility he can go to the winner. We 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.360 hear oftentimes about hitting and bat speed and all that, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.879 But what helps you get better on d better jumps, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.760 better read so forth. That's something I think Dylan, and 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.440 he being such a driven kid, no doubt we'll look 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.639 at that too and say, maybe that is something I 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.200 got to spend some time on this winner. So there's 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.040 more to come in his scheme, I think, is what 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.600 we're all saying. Yeah, and that's kind of exciting for 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.560 him and the Orioles. So there are sixty three and 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.320 sixty eight after the loss today, when we come back, 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.280 let's talk about Samuel Basil. A couple of guns to 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.840 second base, today man that hose was good. And Felix Bautista, 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.520 he's got a pretty good arm on his own, and 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:56.359 he pitched. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.240 Today a little bit in DOUBLEA. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.720 We'll check in on those two young Orioles next. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.560 For the families out there looking for a new path 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.960 to help your child succeed, take a look at K 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.840 twelve Powered Schools.
