Chris Sale vs Dean Kremer

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Not a fan of this matchup with the lefties Bos will throw at Kremer. Sale a lefty gets to pitch into the wall.

 Camden Yards as it is now made for LHPs, which Elias needs to address more other than the demoted Cole.  Hopefully Means will be able to return healthy and strong. 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

He needs to address it by bringing it back in a bit.

Not that worried about Sale.

One, he's a fouche.

More importantly, while he has been striking out people, he has not been very effective so far this year.

What is the reason for the 6:35 games?

Supposedly to make it easier for parents to bring their kids to the games.  I do not think a half hour matters if kids have early bed times.

Be worried about Kremer.

Kremer looked much better against a bad Washington team. Feel like his FB was up a tick or two and was missing bats.

Red Sox in Baltimore:

 

Verdugo RF, Devers 3B, Turner DH, Yoshida LF, K. Hernández 2B, Casas 1B, Duran CF, Wong C, Chang SS

[BaltBird 24]

Lineup after Devers is less than impressive for Boston.

The Orioles have to start beating some of these Eastern Division teams and tonight would be a good start.  They're 12-3 against the rest of baseball.  

[JoyinMudville]

WHAT'S TRENDING: The O's have won six consecutive games, eight of their last nine, and 10 of their last 12...Marks the team’s longest winning streak by the Orioles since a 10-game stretch from July 3-13, 2022...The 14-7 start to the season is tied for the third-best in team history (since 1954), done in 2017, 2005, 1997, 1994, 1985, 1970, and 1969, and trailing only 1966 (16-5) and 1968 (15-6).

MAKING THEIR PITCH: The Orioles have pitched to a 1.15 ERA (7 ER/55.0 IP) during the current six-game winning streak...Starters have thrown to a 1.25 ERA (5 ER/36.0 IP), the best in MLB during the streak, while the bullpen has a 0.95 ERA (2 ER/19.0 IP), third-best in MLB, over that period...This comes after the team had a 5.36 ERA (79ER/132.2 IP) in the first 15 games through April 15, sixth-worst in MLB in that time.

Dean Kremer

 

QUICK HITS: Scheduled to make his fifth start of the season, third at home, and second against the Red Sox this season tonight...Made a career-high 22 appearances (21 GS) in 2022, 11 appearances at home (10 GS), and 11 on the road... Owned an 8-7 record with a 3.23 ERA (45 ER/125.1 IP) and 87 strikeouts...Made six starts of 5.0-or-more scoreless innings, tied for seventh-most in the AL... Acquired by the Orioles along with 2B Breyvic Valera, RF Yusniel Díaz, RHP Zach Pop and 3B Rylan Bannon in exchange for SS Manny Machado on July 18, 2018... Originally selected by the Dodgers in the 14th round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft out of UNLV.

 

LAST TIME OUT: Earned his first win of the season on April 18 at Washington, allowing four hits with six strikeouts and a hit batter in a season-high 6.2 innings; left with a runner on first base...Also marked his first quality start of the season... Issued no walks in a start for the first time since August 27, 2022 at Houston...Went 10 games (9 GS) between no-walk outings...Threw a season-high 95 pitches, 66 season-high strikes.

 

AGAINST BOSTON: Making his seventh career start against the Red Sox...Owns an 0-4 record with a 7.76 ERA (23 ER/26.2 IP) through his first six career outings against Boston...Made his 2023 debut on April 1 at Fenway Park; did not factor into the decision after allowing five runs on six hits (2 HR) with one walk and three punchouts in 3.0 innings at Boston...Has pitched to a 3.48 ERA (4 ER/10.1 IP) in two career home starts against the Red Sox.

I don't remember Kremer being 95-97 much last year.

[BaltBird 24]

Adley gotta hit the weight room for that warning track power.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I don't remember Kremer being 95-97 much last year.

 

As we said last week... it happened regularly.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Mullins nice play, holding to a single. 

[Hooded Viper]

Have they decided to not wear the orange jerseys anymore? I seem to remember only seeing the white, gray and black jerseys.
