Dean Kremer 2022

This guy could pitch a no hitter and every single Orioles fan would still be waiting for the Zim implosion. LOL True too, I wish I wasn’t but….life as an Os fan!

Rounding slightly for effect but a .150 BABIP with men on base and a .400 BABIP with bases empty probably won't sustain.

Unless he's genuinely a clutch pitcher, or pitching in a pinch is still a thing.

Its nice to have cluster luck on your side.    A 4.00 ERA pitcher still would be plenty attractive.

Nice to see a season high 7 Ks today in only 5 innings. Most of them were whiffs on well placed high fastballs and cutters.

I thought Kremer was excellent today for the most part.   I swear that over 1/3 of his pitch count came against Ohtani and Trout.   Will confirm tomorrow when BB-ref posts the box score that shows pitch details.

Last year's Kremer would not have held it together in that inning where he hit a dude in the helmet and then have up a double. Huge zero to put up in that spot.

Is Machado finally paying dividends for Baltimore?

If Diaz heats up in Norfolk and blazes his way onto the team. Had a good April and May, then was injured, but has made it back into the line-up.

I do wonder what other teams offered for Machado that we look back now and say we’re better?

I do believe there was a rumored Tim Anderson/Lucas Giolito deal out there.  Giolito's stock was down and Anderson hadn't emerged yet.

My expectations of Yusniel Diaz are exactly zero.   His injuries seem to be too frequent to think he'll provide anything.

I understand--but a good two-three seasons from Diaz would certainly make me less resentful about how we dumped all that premium talent.

34 of 95 pitches were to Ohtani and Trout.

For a 3 month rental in July of 2018???

I seriously doubt that.

I have no doubt we could have gotten more for Manny if we had traded him with a full season left.
