I grew up in Maryland and miss it very much.

Moved back to MD last year after 12 years away. Loving it.

I was born in Westminster, but my family moved to Jacksonville in 86. I was born in 84.

Another 3 up and 3 down due up.

I’m in Harrisburg PA. Looking at moving to Baltimore City for my waning years even tho I do kinda enjoy the drive (in the hybrid thank god) 

Used to live in Crofton.

Loved that Urias kept swinging at ball four two or three times. Joke

Maybe Kremer is just one of those guys who dominates AAA and gets demolished in the majors.  Really just need a guy who is mediocre to help the O's get thru this game and this year.

OMG Mateo, that pitch was in the other batting box.

Kremer has to go 6 innings. I don't care if the score is 300-0. Have to protect our Bullpen.

Nope.   It's just the opposite.

He hasn't worked himself up to a high pitch count in his rehab, so he is on a low pitch count today.

And our pen is relatively rested and we have an off day tomorrow.   So I doubt we get more than another inning out of him.

Also... this game is still within reach, so if he puts some guys on base, we aren't going to give up on the game and leave him out there to suffer.

[OriolesMagic83]

O's got Gimenez and Rosario from Mets in Lindor trade?  If so they made out pretty good getting 2 members of their current infield.

Listening to Ellie on the radio.  I think she’s motivating Melanie to step up her game.

Probably.   But I wouldn't render too much final judgement on a guy's first start after an injury.   And all the runs he has allowed came on one pitch.

So drawing some kind of conclusion based on just today's game that he sucks is premature.   You want to draw that conclusion based on the entirety of his career and I won't argue.   But anyone saying that giving up a 3-run HR in the first inning of his first game back from injury is some sort of proof that he isn't a major league pitcher is being silly.

It looked like he was done for the day but no one is warming in the bullpen yet.

Gift baserunner... need to take advantage.
