I told him where to find the info if he wanted to check all the pitchers.

Yes. I think his basic point is correct. The Orioles have allowed the fourth highest avg by opposing hitters after an 0-2 count, and have the fourth lowest avg as hitters after an 0-2 count. On an 0-2 count, the Orioles have allowed the third highest avg by opposing hitters. The staff is clearly below average in this area.

    • We'll see good SP opponents anyway, but notable winter player friendly contract Frankie Montas is already on the IL for them. Some of how the Orioles outplayed the Yankees so far this week was the athleticism on the bases contrast, and in Cincinnati the Orioles will see talent like theirs in that part of the game.   From a BP feature the other day on the Reds run production: Through this weekend’s games, the Reds were 25th in MLB in DRC+, but ninth in runs per game. That’s partially because of their aggressive and fruitful baserunning, but that stops far short of explaining it. The Reds have more stolen bases than any other team in the league, and they attempt to go first-to-third on singles more often than any other team in the league.  They’re tied with the Orioles for the league leadership, bringing around 38% of the runners who get on base. Last year, the league-average in that statistic was 31%, and the O’s led the league at 35%. Yes, the Reds’ speed helps them convert opportunities into something tangible. They’ve reached base on 15 errors this year, most in MLB, and a lot of those have been because they hit ground balls (eighth-most in MLB) and run well enough to compel opponents to rush things. 
    • Nice post.  Guess that's why they call you Sanity Check.
    • I am promoting Webb to thread status.  Two dominant outings against the Yankees this week. 2.2 IP, no baserunners, 6 K's. And in only 28 pitches across the two games. His ERA is now below 2. I'm not sure he's really that good, but I think he has one of the most secure spots in the pen right now. 
    • Imagine scoring 6 runs in 4 games, and also giving up a home run to Ryan McKenna. 
    • The NL Central has been a bit of a trouble spot for us lately.   We are 8-13 against that division since the start of last year, losing 6 of 7 series (the one exception being Pittsburgh at Camden Yards last May when Cedric hit for the cycle and Wells pitched a gem). Weather could be a bit of an issue with a chance of rain Friday evening (though less than during the day there) and again Sunday afternoon. Will be weird seeing a Reds team without Joey Votto on it.   Last year he didn't play for the Reds was 2006.   Chris Ray was the Orioles closer that year; Jeff Conine was the starting LF.
    • Os have struggled against the NL central. It’s time to teach the central about the east.
    • His big AA debut and Povich's good bad game resulted in Weston taking a small 26-25 K-bb lead among Orioles minors length guys.
