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...

Or maybe the Yoon money was just burning a hole in Dan's pocket and he said, "What the heck. Sign all the shortstops you can and figure out later where to play them."

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?

I don't think lack of framing caused him to drill two batters in the second inning.

I'm rooting for Ubaldo, but the guy was wild as wild can be.

Buck and DD like depth, and if something was to happen to Manny, Hardy or Schoop, then Flaherty moves to the starting spot and you need a quality guy to step in and play the bench infield role.

Schoop was very impressive last night. Offensively and defensively. If he continues to play like this, Everth Cabrera has no chance at starting. Schoop has the ability to take over a game. I think Cabrera will beat out Flaherty for a spot on the bench.

Schoop is playing at home.

Cabrera is making the road trips.

Cabrera was signed to play. DD called Cabrera an "elite" base stealer. On a team lacking speed, Buck will find a way to play Cabrera.

I'm sure hardy gets some rest throughout the season and he starts at 2b a more than rare amount. Days he doesn't start I'm sure he'll be an inviting pinch runner option.

Took me a couple times reading this to understand that you mean Cabrera will start at 2B more than a rare amount. At first I thought you were referring to Hardy.

Haha my bad. Poor pronoun discipline on my part. Gotta #keepgrinding.

      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.
