Chris Sale vs Dean Kremer

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Dear Mr. Kremer,

 

If you want a spot in the rotation in the post season today is your last chance to earn it. As of now you are the odd man out.

 

Sincerely,

I am heading back to the ballpark again tonight.  I really hope this is the night, as I do not have tickets for any of the weekend games.

Let's Go Orioles.

I think Kremer is going to be one of the long men in the pen for the post season.  

 

I think it will be Bradish, GRod, Means and Gibson.  I think FLaherty and Kremer will be the long guys, in case one of the 4 struggles.

Boston appears to be in pack-it-in mode so hopefully even with an iffy pitching matchup we pull this off and win the division.

Sale has a 4.42 ERA on the season, but its 3.47 against everybody except the O's.  We've hung 7 on him twice so far this year.  I'll settle for only 6 tonight

I'd take 6 but that might not be enough with Kremer going. Hopefully he turns it back around.

6 would have been enough in 13 of his last 14 outings, not the last one though. I'll take it.

 

Whatever he does, I'll hope for 6 innings to keep the bullpen freshness going. He hasn't done that since August.

Odd that Mullins is sitting tonight; he's 3 for 4 ve Sale this year with a homer. Why is it always about the arm that the pitcher throws with?

You are more charitable than I. I want them to bring the pain - double-digit runs for a triple-digit win number seems right to me.

Mullins played against a LHP last night, but, yeah, maybe Hyde could have switched nights or something.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Boston's best reliever.

Chris Martin's excellent season is over. He has a viral infection and is going on the IL.

 

Nick Robertson is up from the WooSox.

Mullins had a double last night butnhas really struggled the last 2 months

Mullins seemed to be running less than full speed yesterday.  He may need a day.

I still do not think the wheels are healthy,

Sale worries me.  He doesn't seem to be what he once was, but he has had flashes.  I think if the Orioles can get a lead the crowd will serve as boost. and maybe we can get rolling.

Orioles saw Robertson when he was still with the Dodgers on 7/18, his last appearance before he was traded. Gave up a run and four hits in the last 1-2/3 of the game and allowed an inherited runner to score; those were two of the three Oriole runs in a 10-3 loss. His September appearances haven't seemed to be too bad except for last time out on 9/20, when he dropped a stinker against the Rangers in a 15-5 loss. He was Boston's first reliever up in a game where both teams' starters didn't last long. Gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits over two, including two doubles and a home run.

I noticed that too on an out at 1st base. The way he pulled up scared me for a second.

You could see Tony was all over Sale there. Seeing him well. 1-0 Os
