Bump.

Any update on how Brian has been doing? I heard he was going to delmarva. Has he not played recently?

From the Hangout front page, "Brian Roberts (concussion) is expected to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday with Class A Delmarva.

Roberts went hitless in two games with Double-A Bowie, and is likely to spend another two weeks, at the minimum, on his rehab assignment. The best-case scenario for Roberts would be an early-to-mid June return. "

No disrespect, but you're not his doctor.

I don't think anyone posting here has the right background to claim what does and doesn't seem sufficient. This is all quite over our heads.

Dr Lev can check my eyes. Well, when his ribs heal for him to raise his arms.

Bob's favorite number is three.

On the bucket list fer sure - (2 chix). Else? Baltimore's Babe was 3 but as a NYY. Harold Baines was 3 and Billy Rip. Three is a crowd. Third base with a lady is good. A BRob triple would be nice in his return to the O's....:D

Now back to the BRob love....

I watched Brian play tonight and was able to get his autograph on a game ball that I caught. In case that no one knows, his wife is SMOKING HOT.

He looked okay at 2b tonight. He made a strong relay throw to 3b but it was too late.

He was standing on first and the batter nailed the ball into the left/center gap. He went all the way to the plate and was burned pretty badly. He should have never been sent home. Seriously, the ball beat him by about 5-7 steps and he slowed down to a walk and let the catcher tag him. No need to plow into him and risk getting hurt in a rehab game. My question is, would he do the same thing in a real game? Probably.

He looks noticeably smaller.

Edit: He also legged out an infield hit. It was a classic BRob at-bat. Foul after foul and finally a small tapper down the 3b line. The 3bman came up short and couldnt handle the ball, but I think Roberts beats it anyways. I'm pretty sure he got credit for a single.

What was his final line?

One impressive stat on Roberts so far is 0 strikeouts and 3 walks. He obviously is seeing the ball pretty well. I think he can get in pretty solid shape in 20 days (almost a month). Just needs to stay healthy, which I still question.

    • Awesome research, thanks. I was a fan in 1974 but had forgotten that string of five shutouts.  This last two weeks of rotation excellence (and your list) is giving me flashbacks to the summer of love (1967), when I started to make game logs to savor the strings of shutouts and low-hit gems by Oriole starters. Looking back now at the game logs kept by Baseball-Reference (manually, without your sorting skills!), it's hard to identify exactly which streak so impressed my teenage fan-meter, or even which year. Certainly 1968 was all about low scoring league-wide.  Maybe it was the stretch 22-27 May 1967 featuring Phoebus, Bertaina, Barber, McNally, and Phoebus again (good old 4-man rotation!), including three scoreless outings. Or Hardin and Brabender joining Phoebus, McNally and Palmer from 15 to 20 September, 1967. What about 1969, with Cuellar, Lopez and Leonhard joining the previous cast of McNally, Phoebus, and Hardin, twirling 10 starts (13-22 June) while allowing only 12 runs.  Anyway, it feels rather historic to see this run of high-end pitching from an Orioles rotation. Here's a chart to recap the numbers on this streak in progress... Date Starter IP H ER ERA (14 G) totals: 81.67 59 19 2.09 21-Apr Irvin 6.2 4 0   22-Apr Suarez 5.2 4 0   23-Apr Rodriguez 4.1 11 7   24-Apr Kremer 5.1 3 2   26-Apr Burnes 6 3 1   27-Apr Irvin 7 4 0   28-Apr Suarez 4 7 4   29-Apr Rodriguez 5.2 5 0   30-Apr Kremer 7 4 2   1-May Burnes 6 4 2   2-May Bradish 4.2 4 1   3-May Irvin 6.1 2 0   4-May Means 7 3 0   5-May Kremer 6 1 0  
    • Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers. 
    • It was very obvious ...he would also take a look at his hand frequently. On Saturday, watching a clip in the dugout after one of the HR's, Kremer went to give a high five, pulled back and took a look at his hand. I thought it strange, and I thought something was off. He always appeared to be one of the more enthusiastic celebrators. It would seem the coaches would notice and probably did, but thought nothing of it. Certainly didn't affect his game.
    • Umpire really tried to screw us on Saturday.     
    • I heard someone call it The Great American Smallpark.
    • I just looked thru their record a while ago.  Series against the Nats (2), White Sox, Marlins, Cardinals, Rockies and Angels makes their record of 1 win better than the O's way less impressive.  Their schedule coming up must be hell.
