If Davis can put up anything like 2012-13 numbers we will be just fine. Anything Schoop gives us would be gravy. I saw the highlight and man it is nice to see Davis driving the ball with that effortless swing.

Situational hitting helps. Looking for a 2-0 FB in a zone, even if he was slightly out in front like he was, he is strong enough to lift it out on a less than perfect swing.

Our regulars vs. their c-scrubs helps. Our pitching vs. theirs was pretty good tonight. Pretty even. Our OD lineup made the diff.

This MORNING'S win vs. TB meant more than tonight's win. ;)

I think the practice of reading nothing into Spring Training performances continues to be the best practice.

Jake Fox hit ten homeruns for us one Spring Training. Jon Schoop was our best hitter in Spring Training last year and the worst hitter in our Regular Season Lineup. So.....yea.

It's a whole lot better than them looking terrible in Spring Training (cough, cough, Ubaldo, cough, cough)

Ubaldo was one of the better pitchers that day. I thought his velocity was all that was important. And it was good. Who was the catcher that could not get his pitches framed?

Jon Schoop hit 16 home runs last season. That is massive for a rookie in today's power reduced climate.

Pretty impressive for a rookie.

Personally, I thought, in spite of the low batting average, his defense at 2nd and skills at turning the double play, add some pop in his bat, was a major upgrade over what they had been running out there at 2nd.

That play in the field by Schoop was basically Robi Cano, though, I'm sorry. The kid's a stud and I don't think there's a shot in hell that Everth takes the starting job.

There's definitely some Robi Cano in Schoop.

I think the Orioles brought Everth in to play. I am starting to think there won't be a ''starter'' at 2B. They'll split time at second. Everth will also get time at SS and maybe a little in LF.

Unless, Hardy gets injured...

      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.
