Buck makes a lot of positive comments like this every spring. That said, Reimold has done well.

Yeah, comparing Reimold to Pearce is some lofty praise, probably some hyperbole on Buck's part. But it's starting to look more and more like Reimold will make a positive contribution to the O's at some point this year.

If Lough's hamstring is gimpy, maybe there's a spot for him.

Most assume the spot for Lough would go to Paredes. Doesn't seem like a DD move to remove a guy or two from the roster to add a guy on a minor league deal when they are all about even.

I know that most assume that.

and i dont buy the about even part.

the 4th OF on a Buck manage team, is going to be a plus defender and able to play a quality CF.

Do you respond to every post that is even remotely non-Lough pro-Paredes about the 4th OFer needing to have plus defense?

Is it really a concern with De Aza on the roster?

De Aza is the one to move, in my opinion. More expensive, less years of control, not very good.

You might be right.

But, you also take away, the defensive substitution of Buck's hand, if your 4th OF is Young or equal.

And for that very reason he is harder to move. We acquired him for two non-factors that will most likely never see MLB. What do you expect to get back for him?

When we get into these kind of what ifs, we are discussing something that could be for only a few innings in a very rare circumstance. Hell, worst case move Davis to RF.

I dont see Davis in RF as a defensive substitution in a tight game.

Who was our 4th OFer that could play CF at the start of last season?

Lough to center Cruz to left.

I thought the premise was that the fourth OF has to be able to back up CF, Buck has said so, or so I've been told. But that didn't happen last season because Lough was in LF. And it doesn't have to happen this season because De Aza can slide over also.

Welp, if you want to get technical about things, Lough was the fourth outfielder to start last season.

Cruz played in left on opening day.

      6th straight game with 2 or fewer runs allowed

      By now · Posted

      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

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By now · Posted

      Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      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.

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      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.
