Actually, he's added more horizontal movement and a little less vertical to his curveball making it less of a 12-6 curveball going from 8.6 inches to 11.3 this year. He also throws it just 11.2% of the time vs 27.2% (2nd most of his pitches) when he first arrived. On top of it, since it's his 4th pitch, he's throwing it over more for strikes as a get me over since batters aren't looking for it. The biggest improvement to his repertoire is his changeup, which was terrible in the minor league

Why Kremer is having success

He hangs the slider at times but at Norfolk he faced about 30 LH hitters and NOT EVEN ONE got a hit off of him.   2 walks.  9 strikeouts.   He actually struck out more RH hitters at Norfolk but in terms of walks and hits he was dominant against LH batters.   His stuff makes LH batters look silly when he keeps it down.   The pitch before the double Hosmer was in desperation mode and did a great job to foul the pitch off.   Give the hitter credit.   Vespi made a mistake on the next pitch.  

As far as Kremer, he looks good at times but he lost Martinez after getting ahead of him and he makes his own share of mistakes.

I agree he’s looked good especially when he keeps the slider down. Maybe his ML number versus LHB is an anomaly. Maybe Hyde is going off what he did vs LHB at Norfolk.

Kid did a great job tonight.  Exciting effort.

You mean 1/3 of a season of Manny, who was never going to resign with an Orioles team on the verge of a complete teardown and rebuild?  Even if Kremer is the only real value the Orioles got back they

Adley is nothing if not positive and full of cliches.   Crash Davis taught him well.

Missed bats and threw strikes.  
 

Hell of a turnaround this year.

Yup….looking more like the guy who led the minor league in SO. I’d love for him to have confidence in his CU again. It’s a filthy pitch.

We have gone from having no pitching to actually having a nice group of guys between the minors and majors for next year. 

With the rate of pitchers going down with injuries these days, a team in WS contention could really use 7 solid starting options.  Chances are at least 2 of them will miss significant time.

A while ago I posted about Kremer, Tate, and Zimmermann being a disappointing return for Machado, Britton, and Gausman. Obviously Manny's a high bar, but if Kremer long term has the stuff and determination he showed in a big game like tonight's, I'll take that rotation piece. Same with Tate who followed Kremer tonight and has become more reliable as a late-inning guy. (Looking forward to seeing what Zimmermann brings to his return, next).

To quote Meatloaf, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Flightless · Posted

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
