[BSLSteveBirrer]

Well a really good day for GRod to show what he's got. Need the W today.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Weather iffy. Wouldn’t mind a PPD and miss Cease.

Didn't see most of the past two games but I haven't been blown away by Henderson's defense at 3rd so far. Let's hope it is just some rookie jitters.

[BaltBird 24]

Feel like Henderson needs a consistent position. Put him at 3B and leave him alone.

[BobPhelan]

Game starts in a rain delay.

[BaltBird 24]

Kinda hoping this one is PPD. Miss Cease and get back to back days off.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

I'd rather play this. Team doesn't need two games off. What they need is to start playing consistent and better baseball.

 

Besides I was going to make a batch of popcorn and have a beer. Way more fun to do that if the O's are on.

You don’t need the Os on to have a beer sir!

[BSLSteveBirrer]

[JoyinMudville]

QUICK HITS: Slated to make his third career start this afternoon against the White Sox...Made his MLB debut on April 5 at Texas, becoming the first Oriole to make his debut this season...Thirteen players (7 pitchers) made their debut for the O's in 2022... Also became the first O's pitcher to start his Major League debut since DL Hall on August 13, 2022, and the youngest O's pitcher (23-140) to start his debut since Kevin Gausman (22-137) on May 23, 2013 at Toronto...Had his contract selected to the 40-man roster on November 15, 2022...Originally selected by the Orioles in the first round (No. 11 overall) of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft.

 

WELCOME TO THE CHARM CITY: Made his Oriole Park debut on April 11 vs. Oakland...Did not factor into the decision after allowing five runs on six hits with four walks and a career-high six strikeouts in 4.1+ innings...Departed with one out and the bases loaded after walking three batters in the fifth inning...All three runners scored...Struck out Jesús Aguilar on a foul tip in the first inning on a 98.6 mph fastball for his first strikeout at Oriole Park...Threw 99 pitches, 65 strikes.

 

PROSPECTING: Currently ranked as the No. 5 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline and No. 7 by Baseball America...He is ranked as the top Orioles prospect and the No.2pitchingprospectbybothoutlets...At23years,151daysold,heiscurrently the youngest pitcher on the O's and the second-youngest player overall behind Gunnar Henderson at 21 years, 291 days.

NEED FOR SPEED: The O's 22 stolen bases are second-most in MLB behind the Guardians (24)...The 22 stolen bases through their first 15 games of the year are the most in O's history (since 1954) to open a campaign...Baltimore and Cleveland are the third teams since 2000 with at least 22 steals through the first 15 games, joining Tampa Bay in 2009...The O's have only been caught stealing twice for a 91.7 percent success rate...Cedric Mullins is tied for the MLB lead with Chicago-NL's Nico Hoerner with eight stolen bases while Jorge Mateo is tied for third with seven steals...The duo's 15 combined stolen bases are more than 23 MLB teams to start 2023.
