Thought this might be a fun activity on Mondays when the minors are dark.  

Last week, Norfolk went 1-5 against Jacksonville to run its record to 4-14.    They’ve played Jacksonville 12 times already in 18 games.   The Jumbo Shrimp are 4-2 when not playing Norfolk.   On the other hand, Norfolk’s other opponent, the Charlotte Knights, are 5-1 against the Tides but 2-10 against their other opponents.   

Bowie went 4-2 against Richmond to run their record to 13-4.   Richmond is 8-4 against other teams.   Of the Baysox two previous opponents, Altoona (who the Baysox bested 3-2) is 9-4 against other teams, while Reading (who Bowie swept 6-0) is 3-9.   So collectively, Bowie’s opposition is 20-17 when playing other teams.   Not bad!

Aberdeen went 3-3 against Wilmington this week to run their record to 11-7.    They’ve played Wilmington 12 times already, going 8-4 against them.   Wilmington is 5-1 when playing other teams.  The Ironbirds’ other opponent, Hudson Valley, is 6-6 against other teams.   

Delmarva went 4-2 against Carolina to run its record to 13-5.    Carolina is 8-4 against other opponents.    The Shorebirds previously went 3-3 against Salem, who are 8-4 against other teams, and swept the hapless Fredericksburg team, which is 1-11 against other opponents.   Overall, Delmarva’s opponents are 17-19 against other opponents even with Fredericksburg thrown in the mix.  

This week, Norfolk hosts Charlotte (7-11), Bowie hosts Harrisburg (6-12), Aberdeen is at Brooklyn (7-10) and Delmarva hosts Lynchburg (13-5).

The farm really stepped it up this week. It'll be interesting to see how things go in a few weeks after all the promotions.

Agreed.   The teams may slow down a bit as top players move up a level and less dominant guys take their place.   

Nice to see Norfolk have a good week, though against a fairly weak opponent.  Tough test this week with Durham.

Durham about to light up Norfolk.

There could be a Luis Patino-Dean Kremer matchup.    Kremer and Bradish should give them some competition, and bounceback chances for everyone else.    Also perhaps first time Orioles pitchers who will be on good Adley teams start work on getting Wander Franco out a bunch of nights in a row.

I get the Orioles four full-season affiliates at a cumulative run differential of +115 the first four weeks, 4th among AL teams.    But the Yankees, Mariners and Rays are the top three.

Tampa just 5 runs better net, all because of AAA where they have a hundred on us and we have a hundred on them at the other three levels.

AL affiliates come out about 550 runs better than NL affiliates, but 200 of that is the Nationals alone.

Something that keeps me going at the moment.  Frobby already provided the W/L records...but here is a bit of further context:

AA:  Bowie at 17-5 has the best record out of EVERY AA team in the minors.

A+:  Aberdeen at 15-7 appears* to have the best record out of every team at the high-A level.    (*I can't verify the High-A west teams for some reason at milb.com)

A-:  Delmarva at 17-6 has the best record out of every team at the low-A level.

 

Yeah AAA is trash but we are working from the bottom up here people!  The pipeline seems to be 3/5 complete!  :)

There’s a three way tie in the High A West at 15-9,    If Milb.com goes down, there’s always BB-ref: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?id=0fcaaa77

In terms of why our teams are succeeding:

Bowie is first in the High A Northeast in runs/game and 5th/12 in fewest runs allowed per game.

Aberdeen is 4th/12 in runs per game in the High A East and 2nd in fewest runs allowed.  

Delmarva is tops in the Low A East in runs/game and 3rd/12 in fewest runs allowed.

Tampa Bay is just a machine right now. That Bowling Green team is very good. Bowie went 8-4 against both Binghamton and Hartford but probably should have been 11-1. Fenter and Naughton out of the bullpen have been terrible. Norfolk just doesn't get a break with their schedule....

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
