ERA down to 4.31, so we're probably talking about something like a 3.70 or so ERA since April. 

Maybe it's because he's a guy that it feels like people are overly down on or beat up on too much, or because he came through our system, or because he's what we salvaged out of the Machado trade, but I'm a big fan of his. 

It really feels to me like he comes up big when we really need a big start. 

I also feel like he's better than the upside of a 5th starter that people have him pegged to be...let's not forget that he had a 3.23 ERA and 3.80 FIP last season (albeit in 21 starts). I wouldn't be surprised to see him get under 4 this season, and at 27 he's still a guy who has room for growth. 

All in all he's someone I really count as part of our rotation for the next 3-4 years barring injury. And if we build enough quality in our rotation where he's our 4th/5th starter we'll be in good stead for a couple of WS runs.

Kremer struggled to begin the season with a 6.67 ERA in April, but he’s since been one of Baltimore’s most reliable starters with a 3.70 ERA. In his past nine starts dating back to July 5, Kremer has a 3.06 ERA and 1.075 WHIP

Sorry its hard to read, copy and pasted from the Sun. My first time trying that?

I love Kremer out-pitching Gausman. Two guys involved in trades when the O's were selling. Gausman slamming his glove in the dugout as the Orioles once again do just enough to beat him, while his guys give him no run support. Kremer just calmly going 6 scoreless. 

I take a weird pleasure in how frustrating it must be for KG playing the O's. He's so good, but we always seem to find a way against him. The Blue Jays stink.

I love it.  I really didn't mind Gausman before but since he made the random comment about wanting to "shove-it" to the Orioles I really dislike him. 

Plus with his long hair I think he looks a lot like the king from the Disney Three Musketeers movie from the 90s.

Didn't start off last night too efficient but made up for it and gave 6 shut out innings.  Really great to see.

That is a very good hitting team that he shut out for 6 IP. They were fouling off very good pitches and had a number of good takes. He had a higher PC than we all would have wanted but he did not panic. He made the adjustments and got a QS. I thought he pitched really well. Toronto is a good offensive team.

I agree.  I think there would have been a time, maybe early last year where he'd have fallen apart.  He's figured out how to battle and get through innings if he doesn't quite have his best stuff.

Kremer has dominated the Jays this year. I wrote this in the Flaherty thread... I really think that they bumped Flaherty to allow Kremer and Gibson to throw against the Jays. I expect to see Flaherty against the Rockies or even the DBacks. 

For this season, Kremer has thrown 17 1/3 innings against the Jays and given up only three earned runs for a 1.56 ERA. Since the start of 2022 Kremer has thrown 41.33 innings against the Jays and given up only 14 earned runs for a 3.05 ERA.

He's pitched really well against them.

    • I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?  
    • Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.    
    • First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.
    • Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly 
    • I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.
    • The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
