Yea I know it's the game thread but come on, be truthful.

308/308/385 when putting the first pitch in play this season.

I checked basball savant - about 7% this year compared to about 14% last year.  But they remarked in a recent broadcast that this keeps the pitcher guessing, rather than thinking they can always throw him a free strike to start him off.  Every now and then, he'll swing and get a hit off it.

At the game. These uniforms need to be burned. The Twins got ran off the field in Atlanta. 

[Roy Firestone]

falling back to earth, gang...our pitching is suspect...even this guy who has been pretty good...

I just wish it hadn't looked like this the past week or so regardless.

If you took a drink every time Kremer gave up a two strike hit you’d be hammered.

Good grief.. now 2 0 and pitch count exploding. 

Just feels like this team is starting to slip.. that Reds series did something 

[oriolediehard]

It didn't take long for us to be behind.  I hope we ain't got a new fad, fall behind and comeback to tie and lose after.

[Yossarian]

That pitch Gallo just hit to the flag court was in nearly the same pitch and same location as the one  Rutschman watched on the first pitch of his at bat.

[justD]

Anyway, Kremer loves to give up home runs. 

I wonder if he tips his pitches?

[OriolesMagic83]

Since the O's don't need rotation help is there anywhere they can improve?

[Roy Firestone]

we better start taking leads in games...this catch up stuff is getting old..and Kremer's pitch count is soaring..
