How completely unsurprising it was a Mark Buehrle game.

Man, a lineup with Corey Patterson, Adam Jones and Felix Pie not striking out?  That’s a miracle right there. 

[Billy F-Face3]

I'm looking ahead to game 2. Kluber is the Red Sox's pitcher. I'm thinking about who might be our DH, because I think the defense should be essentially the same as it was in game 1, but with Adley Rutschman catching.

Gunnar Henderson has a .000 average against Kluber, but he's got 2 walks. Gunnar has 2 walks and 2 strikeouts against Kluber.

Ryan McKenna is 2 for 4 with a .500 career average against Kluber, and he could play RF while Santander plays DH.

And then there's also Ryan O'Hearn available to pay DH with a .286 average in 7 career at bats vs Kluber and 3 RBIs.

Who do you guys think Brandon Hyde and the team will put at DH?

Prior to Monday night, the Orioles had struck out 0 times in a game 63 times, but it's been highly era-dependent:

2011 to the present: 0

2001-2010: 9

1991-2000: 3

1981-1990: 13

1971-1980: 15

1961-1970: 5

1954-1960: 18

And Josh Bell, who struck out over a third of his 272 major league at-bats.

Bell was who, with Steve Johnson, we got for George "Flat Breezy" Sherrill. I remember the game he actually hit 2 home runs. I see that it raised his average to .244 from .167 and was probably the high point of his career.

I'm gonna guess O'Hearn since he hasn't played in a week.

I would be pretty stunned if Gunnar is healthy and got 2 days off in a row.  He will be somewhere in the lineup.

I remember that game, too. Everyone thought he was going to turn a corner.

Cora stretched Kluber out to 26 Batters Faced last turn after he was 19-19-19 (read: Twice Through the Order guy) each of his first three turns.    Their bullpen may have needed the length that day as MIN beat him up some early.

He's back to walking some guys - the invisible walk rate the TBR year looking like an outlier among his last several seasons.

It could be our first proper Bradish length turn against a non-WAS opponent to see if he's held his gains flashed at the end of last year.

I agree. Gunnar had good ABs against Corey last time. That’s bats are doing just enough to win. That’s the sign of a good team. The big homers will come. Especially from Gunnar and Santander. We’re alright.

If Corey Kluber isn't a Get Right pitcher for Gunnar Henderson at this point in their career progressions, I don't know what MLB RHP SP would be.    

I think O'Hearn could be in for Mountcastle tonight.

I hope so--He's looked good in his v limited number of ABs.

[BMann]

Henderson at third, Santander DHing, Frazier... in right!

[Billy F-Face3]

The guys on the radio should stop talking about how bad Kluber has been playing because it's causing the opposite. He's only allow 1 baserunner.

Not a SP, but

KALEB ORT!!

(Henderson now 3 for 4, 2 HRs, 5 RBIs against him.)
