Kremer had a great fastball tonight, 96-97 with movement and he commanded it well.  Honestly, I didn’t think his breaking stuff was that good.  But the combination was good enough to dominate a terrible lineup.  

I was half watching/listening to the game. Sometimes I would pop in to the TV feed and think “wow that fastball is electric!” Other times I would pop in and think “ugh this is the inning the 5 runs happen.”

He did what he needed to do.  Hopefully, he can come close to repeating that against a ML lineup.

I assume his next start will be vs. Boston next week, though he could pitch Sunday against Detroit if someone is skipped.

Escaping that jam in the 3rd inning was huge. Abrams singled, then a bad throw by Gunnar (and failure to block by O'Hearn) puts runners on second and third with no outs. Kremer strikes out Thomas looking on a nice outside sinker, and then punches out Smith and Meneses with good fastballs. The whole game hinged on that half inning, so credit to Kremer for turning it up a notch.

Last night he was getting calls at the knees. One earlier start he got none of those called. It seems that sometimes the game controls him versus he controlling it. The three strike out inning was impressive. He may have been pissed after that wonderful throw by Gunnar.

I believe Kremer threw 13 straight fastballs to strike out the side. His fastball was on last night.

    • I think if you are going to ignore PED issues, Bonds probably held the title of greatest living ball player long before Willie Mays died.   
    • This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place. 
    • I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent. 
    • I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.
    • Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well. 
    • As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.
