Boog Powell, 1970, against the White Sox.  12 games, 6 homers, 17 RBI, .405/.577/.946 for a 1.523 OPS.  14 walks!  

Cal Ripken, 1991 against the Indians.  13 games, .385/.411/.769 for a 1.180 OPS.  5 homers, 11 RBI.

Miggy, 2005 against the Red Sox, 18 games, .377/.407/.701, 12 doubles.  I don't think that tops Frank but it's still damn good!

I'm thinking there's gotta be someone else.

Luke Scott.

I remember a hilarious blog post about Scott destroying the Tigers.  He got in their heads, at least the fanbase.

Orioles OF Luke Scott is your typical journeyman ballplayer who has searched long and far for playing time. In his two seasons where he’s had at least 215 ABs, he’s hit a combined .256 with twice as many K’s than walks. In his eleven games since 2008, Scott has batted 19-38 (.500) with 10 HRs and 19 RBI. Let that sink in for a moment… an AVERAGE game versus the Tigers is 2-4, with a HR and 2 RBI. His clutch hitting early in this weekend’s series took two solid pitching performances by Verlander and Jackson to eek out a split.

OK, there is a challenge: what is the most dominating season one Orioles hitter has had in a season against another team?

Just to give people a place to start, I had a look at Frank Robinson’s Triple Crown season.   In 1966, in 18 games with the Tigers, Frank hit  .368/.463/.926 with 11 homers and 23 RBI.

Can you top this?

Aaron Judge, 2017, vs the O's.

19 games, 85 PA, 31 runs, 11 HR 24 RBI, .426/.588/ 1.049

Didn't know Aaron Judge was playing for us.  Then again, he misses so much time, it'd be easy to not know that.

I meant, top it with something an Oriole did against another team.  Probably ten guys who played against the Orioles have topped Frank’s numbers I cited.   In addition to Judge, how about Gleyber Torres last year: .394/.467/1.045, 13 HR 20 RBI.

As an aside, I went to see how Mickey Mantle did against the Orioles the year he won the Triple Crown, thinking his numbers were probably pretty unbelievable given how bad the O’s were in that year.   Turns out, he had an OPS of at least 1.100 against every other team in the league, but only .809 against the Orioles.    Mickey Mantle Kryptonite!    He wasn’t that good against us in ‘61 either when he hit 56 homers - only 4 against us.   And Roger Maris was downright bad against us that year.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
