Saturday April 1: Orioles vs Red Sox

[O's84]

Kremer's has nothing today.

[emmett16]

That’s it.  Man bun needs to go.  Cut that bad boy off between innings.  

[Natty]

Well Kremer fell apart.

He’s got a massive ERA.

Too many hangers.  Ugh.

[Tony-OH]

This is why you get an impact starter in the offseason. Gibson would be starting this game instead of Kremer, who gets a 7-1 lead and comes out and craps his pants.

Asking the Orioles bullpen to pitch six innings today is going to lead to a very ugly game.

[emmett16]

Thinking we are gonna need 15.

Maybe it will be 4. 
 

Fortunately Boston has to pitch also.

Idk if he was wrong before the changes.  You have to be successful at a pretty high rate for base stealing to be worth it.  I believe 80%. 

If you have guys with speed like Mateo, Mullins, and McKenna he’d be wrong not to use them. Obviously if you don’t have that kind of speed, it wasn’t worth it before the rule changes.

[Tony-OH]

I will say this, there might be something with the ball being juiced. We are in April and the ball is absolutely flying. Guys are hitting with one hand and hitting it 400+ feet.

Top EVs this game through 3 innings... 109, 107.4, 107, 106.5, 106. That's very high.

Shaping up to be a beer league softball type score. Good thing the O's lineup is formidable these first two games.

I think they might have juiced the balls again this year.  Between the few games I have flipped to it looks like batting practice with all the homers and runs scored especially with these games in colder weather for most part.  

[Tony-OH]

AAA using same ball, Top EVs today in Tides game, 110.1, 108.7, 106.3, 105.8, 105.3.

Something is up.
