Who will start the first five games in 2021?

[TommyPickles]

Now that we've added Felix and spring training is just weeks away, I'm curious, who do you guys think will start the first five games for the O's? (In order)

Game 1: ?

Game 2: ?

Game 3: ?

Game 4: ?

Game 5: ?

 

[Sports Guy]

Means, Kremer, Larry, Moe and Curly

[Matt Bennett]

Means, Felix, Akin, someone from outside the organization, and Jorge Lopez. 

I actually would not be surprised if Kremer and Zimmerman start in AAA, but are called up before Lowther, Baumann, Alex Wells. Seems like Elias really likes to see mastery of a level before a promotion. 

I don’t think they’d put a rule V guy in the rotation, at least to start. 

I guess Leblanc could sneak in there over Lopez or the other signing I expect, but I’ll go with those 5. 

[Ruzious]

Means, Kremer, and 3 days of rain.

[Sports Guy]

I really hope Lopez doesn’t see a start this year unless it’s some emergency situation or as an opener.

Really, I don’t see why he should even make the team at all.

I'll go with Means, The Artist Formerly Known As King Felix, Akin, Kremer, and LeBlanc.

Don't count out Shemp!

He’s a very underrated Stooge.

Much better than Curly Joe, but that's not a high hurdle to get over.  Loved the original trio.  Niagra Falls!

Indeed, Shemp gets a lot of unjust hate for the mere "crime" of not being a member of the most iconic trio, but I would rate him as firmly above replacement level.

He’s right there with Zeppo Marx.

Wonder how many Laughs Above Replacement Shemp was worth over his career.

I grew up watching old Stooges flicks on WNUV54 (iirc) on Saturday afternoons in the 90s, but don't really know enough about the Marx brothers to comment on that subject so I'll have to take your word for it

Certainly a lot more than the Will Sasso led reboot from about a decade ago lol.

Well, the Marx Brothers generally featured Groucho, Chico and Harpo, but occasionally Zeppo would wander in and play the straight man.   So like Shemp he was sort of the fourth part of a three man act.    

And no, I am not old enough to have seen any Marx Brothers movies when they were made!    They are very dated, yet still quite funny IMO.

I wasn't implying that you were, sorry if it came off that way 

A decent amount of older stuff still holds up really well though IMO, the original run of the Flintstones and the original Twilight Zone are among my favorite TV shows of all time despite being produced a couple of decades before I was even born.

Outer Limits is underrated.  At it's best it was as good or better than Twilight Zone.

Also Get Smart was genius.
