7:05 PM

Fans are encouraged to arrive early on Friday, July 8, as the Orioles celebrate the 50th anniversary of their 1966 World Series victory. Prior to the 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles will commemorate the first World Championship in club history with a video tribute, followed by an on-field ceremony including 13 members of the 1966 World Series team.

The pregame video will begin at approximately 6:00 p.m., detailing the Orioles' 4-0 sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1966 Fall Classic. Following the tribute video, the Orioles will welcome back National Baseball Hall of Famers and Orioles Legends JIM PALMER and BROOKS ROBINSON, as well as EDDIE FISHER, DICK HALL, LARRY HANEY, BILL HUNTER, BOB JOHNSON, DAVEY JOHNSON, JOHN MILLER, BOOG POWELL, VIC ROZNOVSKY, RUSS SNYDER, and EDDIE WATT during an on-field ceremony.

During the game, the Orioles will wear 1966 replica throwback uniforms featuring a patch celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1966 World Series victory. The Orioles game-worn replica throwback jerseys will be autographed, authenticated, and auctioned online to benefit the Orioles Charitable Foundation. The auction will also include 50th anniversary jerseys autographed by the alumni in attendance.

All fans in attendance on July 8 will receive a 1966 50th anniversary-themed Orioles T-shirt and will enjoy fireworks set to hit songs from 1966 following the game. The Orioles will continue the 50th Anniversary celebration with a 1966 Jim Palmer replica jersey giveaway, presented by UMBC, for the first 20,000 fans 15 and over on July 24, when the Orioles host the Cleveland Indians at 1:35 p.m.

Surprising move starting Jimenez over Wright as Wright has very good numbers against the Angels in two starts while Jimenez has awful numbers over 10 appearances. Anyway, no reason to go into detail here as we all know about this guy.

Matt Shoemaker

(3-9)

4.40 (1.32/.277)

93K / 20BB, 11HR

QS: 9

Since his awesome performance against us in last May, Shoemaker has really come on for the Angels and put up a 2.14 ERA in June with seven of his nine starts since then being up to my QS standards which means he has been very good. He allowed four runs once and five runs once which was in his last start against Boston. In the four starts before that of 27.1 IP, he allowed only four runs total and has lowered his ERA from 6.81 to 4.40 starting with his gem against us which is just more of the same for him when it comes to facing the Orioles. In his three starts against us, he has been dominant and has not walked a single Orioles hitter. He was very good at Camden Yards as well, so this could be trouble for the Orioles.

Ryan Flaherty 1/2

The Dodgers really showed why their offense has struggled this season as they had numerous chances to win the finale, but just kept hitting into double plays and pop ups in critical run scoring situations and the Orioles eventually took the series. Now facing the Angels, whose three game winning streak came against the Rays, the Orioles have a chance to end the first half on a high note before things get tough down the stretch. Matt Shoemaker won't likely be making things easy for them as he never has to this point.

Shoemaker and Jimenez. Jimenez sucks against the Angels and Shoemaker is dominant against the Orioles. Nuff said. Wright would have been more interesting here, but oh well.

Toronto continues their winning ways coming back late to beat the Tigers for their sixth straight win and are now two games back of the Orioles who have a real shot to win another series against the Angels. Boston remains three back and still occupies the second WC spot along with Toronto with Houston a game back and Detroit two back. Texas got hammered by the Twins, but Houston and Seattle also lost and so no ground is gained with Houston remaining 6.5 back in the division.

    • I know all teams are matchup crazy but it’s really getting annoying. 
    • Kjerstad needs to get a fair chance and not sit on the bench for most of the week. They should try to find room for Norby too even with his defensive limitations. I’ve been a Urias supporter, but if Mateo can be a utility infielder then there isn’t much use for Urias on the roster. 
    • Seems that the Orioles have seen more left-handed pitchers this year and they also have seen that Adley traditionally has hit much better when DHing vs catching. Saying that, McCann has been absolute zero this year and looks like a guy who is in his last year of major league baseball. I'm sure McCann is a good clubhouse guy, but he's not a guy you want to run out there as much as they have been, and I think it's more out of necessity at this point.  Maybe Hyde/Sigbot will let Stowers actually start against a lefty and that would allow Rutschman to C more against lefties?
    • It’s partially you, because I certainly don’t see him doing that in almost every single at bat.  But I do see him doing it with some frequency, more so than in prior years.  I think he’s trying (with some success) to increase the launch angle on his swing, and that’s what’s causing the drop to one knee thing as he tries to get a little more under the ball.  His average launch angle has gone from 12.6 to 18.0, and he’s also pulling the ball more (42.5% to 38.4% last year) and hitting to the opposite field far less (20.3% to 28.3% last year).   I don’t think any of that is an accident.  
    • I have noticed that too. He has definitely done in the past. Not sure if it just seems like it’s happening more often or if it truly is.
    • Eric Haase is having a good year in AAA on a milb deal. Brewers ties too. Currently with the Brewers AAA team. He had really good years in 2021 and 2022. He may have a June 1 opt out.    https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/haaseer01.shtml Just sayin… McCann might not be so safe. Haase is 4th on the brewers C depth chart. We have a good relationship with Milwaukee, or Haase could just opt out on June 1.  Haase can even play some LF too. 
    • I think he’s fine in the regular season but if you look around at #4 starters on contending teams like NYY, LAD, PHI, and ATL you get: LAD: one of Walker Buehler/Bobby Miller/Clayton Kershaw (if healthy) ATL: Reynaldo Lopez (3.60 xERA, 2.90 FIP) or Max Fried (3.16 xERA, 3.51 FIP) NYY: Gil, Stroman, or Schmidt PHI: Turnbull (4.19 xERA, 3.62 FIP) or Sanchez (3.73 xERA, 2.58 FIP)   The only guys I would consider Kremer over are Stroman (who is probably the Yankees 6th best starter when Cole comes back) or Turnbull (very similar career numbers but has been much better this year). Again, he’s fine as a #5 but I would not want him starting another playoff game and if Irvin reverts back to being a 4-4.40 ERA guy, I don’t think we would be thrilled with that either.
