Apparently, you don’t know me very well.   

In their 8-24 stretch the Baysox scored 99 runs in 32 games, an average of 3.09 per game.    In their 33-17 run-up to .500, they scored 239 runs, an average of 4.78 per game.  Of course, having reached .500 for a day, they were promptly shut out yesterday to fall to 41-42.    

After being shut out 5 times in their first 25 games and 7 times in their first 32, the Baysox were shut out only 4 times in their next 50 games before being shut out yesterday.    So, that’s 12 on the year.   By comparison, they’ve shut out their opponents only 7 times.    

They've scored 5 in the first tonight. 10 runs through 3 innings.

I think an underlooked storyline is the quality of Bowie's bullpen. There are a bunch of arm with at least up and down potential there, it's pretty interesting. In order of preference. 

Dillon Tate - Fastball up to 98 in relief, 94-96 two seam, usable slider/change - has been great since his first two outings 8 K/BB ratio, 2.45 ERA

Zach Muckenhirn - 94-95mph lefty, average slider, solid command, has some consistency issues, 

Steven Klimek - Fastball has ticked up to 93-94 from 90-91 and he has one of the best curveballs in the org - He's only been in Bowie briefly but was good in Frederick, it's a middle relief ceiling

Pedro Araujo - still low 90s without much command, but two good offspeed pitches

Tyler Erwin - the only guy who doesn't throw decently hard, but comes at guys from a tough angle with a funky action and has strong results.

Christian Alvarado - his fastball has really ticked up in relief 93-96 after being more of a 89-92 type as a starter. Command is pretty good but doesn't miss many bats.

Francisco Jimenez - up to 97

Pretty good starting pitching tonight too. The offense went to sleep once A. Lee came in. Fun game to attend if a bit sticky.

Yeah, the rotation is quite good as well. Kremer, Lowther, Baumann Zimmermann, Wells, Molina

Those guys (with the exception of Molina) have gotten some attention (rightfully so), I wanted to point out a perhaps overlooked part of the squad.

I meant only that Zimmerman had a good start.

Gotcha, any impressions of his performance are always welcomed, I wish I was at a ball game instead of at work.

Struck out five in a row at one point. Recorded 7 outs in a row, I think.

Even Molina, while not a prospect, has pitched respectably.    5 nights out of 6 I’m paying close attention to how the starter has performed.

Three of the top six in ERA in the Eastern League.

This team is worth the price of milbtv right now.

[Frobby]

Amazingly, the Baysox lead the Eastern League in runs per game (4.27), after starting off by scoring 56 runs in their first 16 games.   Of course, it’s a pitchers’ league this year.

Who would win a 7 game series between the Baysox  and the O’s?

I think Bowie in 5
