Dean Kremer is just an OK pitcher. His career BB/9 is 3.0, so he doesn't have elite control and he's going to miss in the strike zone. The stuff isn't electric enough for him to get away with it a lot of the time. Today he limited the damage, delivered a quality start, went long enough to give Hyde some bullpen flexibility, and the Orioles won. Be happy.

We are very slightly over the AL average in homers allowed per game.  1.20 per game for the O’s, 1.15 for the league.  We’ve hit more homers than we’ve allowed, by a few (93-90 going into today).  Rodriguez (2.6 HR/9), Wells (1.9), Irvin (1.9), Kremer (1.7) and Voth (1.7) have been the big culprits.  Everyone else is under 1.0.

Uhhhh ........ How can a starting pitcher that has given up 20 earned runs in 23 innings pitched ( a certain Mr. Cole Irvin ) STILL be in the Majors ?????

Because he had a successful career before that.  And since returning from his lengthy minor league stint, he’s allowed 5 ER in 10.1 IP, which isn’t awful.  We’ll see how it goes from here.

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
