Posted by Tony-OH,

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

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.

Figure Tate isn’t available today or if he is, it’s for just a few batters.

Bautista can probably go an inning.

Perez should be ok.

Baker is likely unavailable.

Decent chance they will need Hall to get some big outs tonight if the game is close.

Kremer really needs to go 6 tonight.

I keep waiting for him to regress and it hasn't happened. Interesting how he has changed as a pitcher. K/9 is down but he has cut his BB/9 in half. Palmer talked with him post game about adding a two seamer this year. Last year it looked like he might be out of the league, now he looks like a solid middle rotation SP, pretty much everything we hoped for.

I will take 5 middle rotation SP like Kremer and Bradish

Every time I see Kremer interviewed in the locker room, I’m struck by how intelligent he is.   I feel like he’s a sponge just soaking up information about how to pitch effectively and adapting his arsenal just a little more each time.  My prediction is he will have a long and productive career. 

Nice to finally be getting something out of the Manny trade.

He said something last night in the postgame interview... what was it?  I think he used the phrase "we were contemplating" some strategy.  Not a typical cliche you'd hear from most guys.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Don't think it matters much, tbh.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Oh, I'd love to have one come through our system by being drafted and developed. No doubt at all.

      Paging @Tony-OH to the thread.  🤣 I've actually advocated for this in the minors forums...letting other teams draft and try to develop guys to see which have a shot of sticking and which don't.  Essentially let other teams make mistakes in the draft and trade for guys that are still in the lower levels in other systems but you think have a shot.  I do believe that's part of Elias's strategy....as risk adverse as he is, he's not going to take risks on drafting pitching if he views that's the biggest risk in the draft. All I'm saying it'd be nice to have a Skubal come through our system.  Does anyone really disagree with drafting and developing a Cy Young winner or is that something you guys aren't interested in?

      Oh, I get that. I just think you'd be hard pressed to say year in and year out the Central is anything but a mediocre division.  Typically, the AL East has at least 3 strong teams, with some seasons where 4-5 of them have winning records or close to it.  But it doesn't matter. As said before, I've been saying for weeks prior to the end of the season that the Tigers were a very good team. I just wouldn't trade our org, team, farm, whatever for the Tigers.

      3 of the 4 AL teams remaining are from the Central.

      Does it matter if they get drafted and developed vs. traded for and developed? Hell, the O's starting rotation was a strength this year. Here's a breakdown of how it was constructed: Burnes - traded for (Elias) Suarez - free agent (Elias) Kremer - traded for (Duquette) Eflin - traded for (Elias) Grayson - drafted (Duquette) Bradish - traded for (Elias) Povich - traded for (Elias) Irvin - traded for (Elias) Tyler Wells - Rule V (Elias) Rogers - traded for (Elias) McDermott - traded for (Elias) Means - drafted (Duquette) I'm excluding Bowman being an opener and getting a starting credit.  But that said, out of all of the starters that the O's used this year, none were drafted by Elias, and only 2 were drafted by the O's (GRod, Means). 8 were acquired via trade (7 by Elias, 1 by Duquette), and 2 via FA or Rule V.  I don't necessarily think that Elias needs to draft starters to build a rotation, but it would be nice to see a couple make it before being traded, TBH.  That said, I don't think the above is sustainable, but the strategy would be sustainable if you have free agency play a bigger part. Look at the Royals. Their best 3 starters weren't drafted by them (Ragans - traded for, Wacha - FA, Lugo - FA).

      Elias on contract extensions

      Unfortunately, it's looking like there is a lot of truth in that statement.  I believe Steve Bisciotti (Ravens owner) once said, he wanted to have a good team every year, get into the playoffs enough, eventually things go your way and win the Super Bowl.  This was in response to playing salary cap games for a few seasons and then eventually having to pay the piper with the dead money and being uncompetitive for a few years. Hopefully the O's can be consistently good and get hot at the end of the season and make a run through the playoffs.  Go back to June 1st and the five best teams in the league were the Orioles, Yankees, Guardians, Phillies and Dodgers.  Two are already out, Guardians fading fast with the Yankees and Dodgers still alive.   A Tigers - Mets World Series would be quite fitting.
