Nice show from Kremer today. Hopefully he'll become more efficient and go deeper into games, but the O's really needed that performance after Grayson's meltdown yesterday.
Great players but far from the only ones playing at that level. Juan Soto, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Jose Altuve, Bobby Witt Jr, Elly De La Cruz, CJ Abrams and some others are playing at a similar elite level.
You could say "take away the best and second best guy" about any bullpen. Coulombe was good last season and Cionel and Webb weren't bad. The guy we miss is DL Hall, though I'm sure the hope is that Wells, Suarez and/or Irvin will fill some of these holes.
I wish Hyde would get out there soon and yell some holy hell into these crap umps. Get thrown out of the game and show he's got his players' backs. Get in their faces and let them know they suck.
