In 1995, his K/9 with the Oriole was 10.0, which was the best he posted since his 2 game rookie season.  On the other hand, his HR/9  was an abysmal 2.9, which was > 3x worse than his career average of 0.9.  His BB/9 was also 5.5, almost 2 higher than his career average of 3.4.   In comparison, his last year with the Mets in 1993, his K/9 was only 6.1 and he posted  2.93 ERA, but with   BB/9 of only 2.7.

Looking at his starts, it does seem like Regan may have pulled the trigger too early a few times. I see some starts where he pitched 3 or 4 innings, giving up ~3 runs.  I can't find Pit/IP, but I can find Pit/GS.  With the Mets, it was between 90-105 most years.  In 1994 with the Os it was 88, then 76 in 1995.  (I guess you can compute Pit/IP from IP/GS and Pit/GS, but I'm too lazy for that).  

That 10.0 K/9 in 1995 was based on only 28 innings (31 Ks); his fuller 1994 season with the O's of 115.33 innings it was only 7.4. But with the Phillies in 1996-97, his K/9 soared to 11.0 and his homer rate dropped to 0.89 (127.67 innings, 16 bombs). Sounds like a combination of injury and AL East terror.

On another site I was reading someone mentioned Andy Van Slyke.  Really an excellent outfielder with the Pirates in the 1980s, a slashing line drive hitter and centerfielder. He was an Oriole for a fe

Interesting post that refreshed my memory of part of what had to be done to put togeher the 1996 team. On Jamie Moyer, however, two points of difference: 1. He did have a good season with the O's

I think it was a combination of both. Fernandez pitched in the NL East and it was a lot more pitcher friendly than the AL East. Also Shea Stadium was very pitcher friendly where he pitched for most of

      Elias loves him some veteran presence.  Frazier, Odor.  They will go out of their way to use old people whenever they can and not use the future until they have no other choice.  Its just what they do.  They always will fall back on "love the way they turn the double play"  which is code for "yeah they suck but we are using them no matter what".  With Odor you could respect it a little because he knocked Bautista in the mouth and who can not love that?

      His birthday is Sep.27.     I don’t consider September 27 to be rapidly approaching.

      Not sure what you mean?  We are not going to win a WS with players like Hayes, Mullins, Urias etc.   I think that is obvious.   What am I missing here?

      I cannot blame any athlete for being inconsistent if you are only getting 1 or 2 bats every few days.  No one can get into a rhythm doing that.  Whether you play baseball or are a QB or play tennis or bowling.   His minor league numbers have been more than stellar.......so for heavens sake play him.  He is what...25?  Are the Os going to wait until he is 28? Pretty ridiculous when you think about the number of players in the majors who are younger than him.   And don't even get me started on Mayo.   I love Elias.  Want him to be with the Os for a long time.  But he is starting to remind me Chris Ballard with the Colts.  Both are great students of the game and judges of talent, but just so so conservative.   It drives the Colts fans like me crazy, and it is starting to drive the O's fans, like me.....crazy.

      I get the respect the team has for the starting OF. They were here for, and were all keys to, the Orioles becoming relevant again. My hope was they could play well enough to get to the ASB so they could ride off to the proverbial sunset gracefully and let the youngsters come up. But it's not even June and Hays and Mullins are under .200 and Tony is barely above.  I'm not sure what to do.

      It’s a SSS with sporadic playing time. Nothing can be taken from those numbers.
