Where were these offspeed pitches against Ibanez? Goodness...this game should be over.

The only thing ibanez could do, he did because Johnson was not careful. Ibanez beat the As with miracle walkoff, beat the Red Sox same thing and Johnson either didn't know it or he just said..here it is, try and hit it. Even if you walk him, you can't let him get a pitch to hit in that situation.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      I have to think the fact they haven’t announced Game 2 starter means Kremer goes Game 2 if we win Game 1 and Eflin if it’s a loss.

      For the month of September, only Witt had an OpS over 800 and it was only 816.  No one else was even over 700. Second on the team was 692 and third was 636.  So, this isn’t a team that is hitting well.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      How do you want to see Hyde deploy the bullpen in this KC series? Who do you trust most and least right now in a late and close situation? These are presumably conversations being held by the O's leadership today.  For reference, here's how the IP broke down last year against Texas:  G1: Bradish 4.2, Coulombe 0.2, Webb 0.1, Hall 1.2, Wells 1, Perez 0.2 G2: Rodriguez 1.2, Coulombe 0.1, Baker 0.1, Webb 1.2, Flaherty 2, Wells 1, Perez 1, Cano 1 G3: Kremer 1.2, Wells 1.1, Gibson 3, Hall 1.2, Cano 0.1 Of course, success will start with longer outings by the SPs. After that, what do you want to see?

      I think Pham overall will be key this series. Keep traffic off base for Witt.

      The current members of the Royals have 63 at bats vs Kremer. They have struck out 13 times, have 10 hits, 2 homers, 4 walks and a collective OPS of 542 against him. He has pitched twice vs them this year. He went 5.1 and 5.2 IP in the 2 games. He allowed 3 Homers but one was to Pasquatino, who is out. He gave up 6 runs, 6 hits and 4 walks total in the 11 IP…but the 3 homers certainly hurt him. They didn’t have a lot of base runners but they made the homers count, as they accounted for 4 of the 6 runs. Pham and Witt have 6 of the 10 hits against him.

      A look at the Orioles by month -- 2024

      Runs scored and allowed per game by month, and league average for each month: March/April: 5.41 RS/G, 4.10 RA/G (4.25 league average)  May: 4.54 RS/G, 3.27 RA/G (4.29 league average) June: 5.62 RS/G, 4.21 RA/G  (4.44 league average) July: 4.60 RS/G, 5.36 RA/G (4.51 league average) August: 4.46 RS/G, 4.86 RA/G (4.24 league average) September: 4.32 RS/G, 4.12 RA/G (3.93 league average) You can see from this that the offense produced an above average number of runs every month of the season, while the pitchers were better than average at preventing runs in the first three months but worse than average the last three.   I don't think that tells the whole story, as the offense had an abysmal five weeks or so that began in mid-August and lasted through the penultimate week of the season.   But by and large, the offense got way too much of the blame for the team's lackluster second half performance IMO.

      Thanks, Frobby. Basically, a very good offense, very good starting pitching, bad defense and bad bullpen. Defense has some upside now that the regulars are back. But this bullpen just isn’t a playoff caliber bullpen.
