Balt Sun: Oriole of the Day: Bryan Baker minimized home runs in Triple-A. Can he do the same in Baltimore’s bullpen?

[BSLChrisStoner]

4 outings so far... 

 

4.2 ip, 2 hits, 1 er, 1 bb, 6 k's

[BSLChrisStoner]

44 games... 

 

45 innings, 45 hits, 2 hr's, 20 bb's, 48 k's

 

LHH .701 OPS
RHH .674 OPS

 

Avg 4 seam 96... have seen him hit 100 a few times recently, after starting the year more 93-94. 

Know people aren't impressed, and I can't say he's a guy I definitively believe in....  but he's been more solid than not. He's definitely helped this year.

His uptick in velocity and effectiveness has me intrigued. I’m a fan of the money ball approach for the bullpen. No reason to write him off IMO.

He needs to chill with the antics. Mostly cause I dont think he would do that if he just struck out Aaron Judge. But also because you know hes Bryan Baker.

Has live stuff, just a question of whether he has command of it or not.

Fastball changeup combo. The poor mans Bautista. Which yeah, can still be a solid RP.

Keep looking at AAA for any hope for an arm to use up in Baltimore. Baker sure isnt giving any hope. He gave up 4 runs, 4 hits and a walk in 0.2 last night. All unearned but I dont care. When you give up 4 hits and a walk in an inning thats terrible. His AAA ERA sits at over 5.00 and the terrible outing from last night doesnt count against that ERA at all because of 1 error

Similar to Baumann, he doesn't seem to trust the fastball.

One of my favorite Breweries:  Mobtown made a beer named after him this summer.  It's a great beer, that's about the only good thing I like about Baker

Tough night for our old friend last night 4/2.

 

0.1IP, 2BB, 3H, 5ER.  I expect him to be recalled shortly.

Perfect. Lets call up a guy who couldn't make the team out of ST and then pitches like this down on the farm.  SMDH

I was just making a joke on the fact that they can't seem to quit Baker.  I have no inside knowledge at all that he'll be called up, but once they latch on to a guy frankly nothing they do surprises me.
