He's got a very good idea of the strike zone and he doesn't typically go hacking at everything.

When he's healthy, he's athletic enough to be a decent left fielder. I'm a fan.

I love Reimold, and have said so, and was ridiculed for it. In 2009, he may have been the most patient rookie hitter that I have seen in 40 years .................. and he still is patient.

Vladdy hackin' at everything, boy.

He's pretty consistent at putting the bat on the ball.

True, but just one inning ago, everyone was complaining about letting Lannan have quick-pitch innings.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      OP may be trolling or just doing a dumb reverse jinx joke, but Kremer does have a 5.74 xERA on the season. He’s doing ok on K/BB, whiffs and chase so he’ll probably be ok, but he is giving up a lot of hard contact and tons of barrels. His xFIP is 3.92 and that’s still more predictive in this sample, but he can’t keep giving up hard contact like he’s pitching against the Orioles lineup every game. With Irvin pitching really well and Means lights out yesterday, I do think Kremer is more at risk of a numbers-game option to AAA if Grayson is able to come back soon and Kremer’s not straightened his contact quality numbers out. Povich is also lurking as a possibility to force a call up if he puts up another ~5 starts as dominant as his start to the season has been. Possibly they will consider going to a 6-man rotation for some period of time as well.

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      Nice analysis. Would love to see you add a paragraph for defense as well.

      It is better due to natural bats growth. Pitching I think in the aggregate Burnes and Kimbrel hold their own relative to Gibson and Bautista, even though there Burnes is the one doing almost all the work. The Ryans both playing strong is going to give the organization a tough Coby Mayo decision this summer.    I believe Sigbot still regards Mayo's talent the more capable at the highest level of competition, but without a random act of injury it will involve reducing the role of a very productive player. We should do better, hopefully much better, than Fujinami and Flaherty this July.

      The Reds have quietly assembled a great rotation

      By doccat · Posted

      I haven't really followed the Reds, but I am impressed with their rotation so far of: Hunter Greene Andrew Abbott Nick Lodolo   That's a heck of a top of the rotation....  I am actually thrilled we were able to win at least 2....  Good for us!  Go O's!

      You could say the same about Cole Irvin.  I think he's due to regress too....

      Another factor — the 2024 team is in a better place to fortify over the course of the season, whether internally (Holliday, Mayo, Povich, McDermott) or externally (surely better than Flaherty, Fuji).

      I don't expect much from John Means tonight.

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It was definitely weird. It seems like some information is missing — either from last season or the spring, be it an arm strength issue or lingering soreness (which maybe counts as a slight setback). The lack of details made it seem like an NHL injury report, purposefully vague. Either he had some issues or they kept a guy who looked more than ready in his first start off the roster too long.
