Friday, September 22: Orioles face Guardians and Shane Bieber (just off the IL)

[Chavez Ravine]

Nothing is sinking, nothing is curving, the fastball works on the rare occasion he can get it near the zone. Adios Dios!?

I'm going to say it again, Elias can't keep a bullpen where you don't have a long guy. The decision to send Irvin down has bit them in the ass multiple games and is part of the reason why the bullpen is toast.

Kremer looks like a A-ball pitcher tonight. He'll give up ten runs if they don't take him out. 

Could Flaherty cover a few innings?

Again Adley doesn’t catch a ball clean. What is up with him lately?

At this point I'm wondering if he is tipping pitches. 

He's not, he's just got nothing left. 

[Roy Firestone]

..and the pitch count is sky high...

I had to just turn the game off for the first time in forever. Watching your team play against the Guardians is about as enjoyable as being mauled to death by gnats. 

The Guardians are not good. But Kremer has nothing tonight, and I would be shocked and amazed if our offense can score 3 runs today.

He should be able to, but not sure how many. 

[Yossarian]

Kremer has got to give up at least 7 more runs before we can bring a position player in to pitch the rest of this game.   I think he has it in him. 

[Tony-OH]

Anyone warming up? Kremer is a clownshow tonight.

He's up there for worst hitter in the league.

Amongst guys who actually play pretty regularly, he’s absolutely running away with that crown.

Will Brennan, Myles Straw, and Steven Kwan all hitting lasers in one inning is a sign that the apocalypse is near.

[Roy Firestone]

this game will be a blowout soon...damned shame...

[Yossarian]

What's up with Rutschan's throwing accuracy?

[Gurgi]

Adley is highly overrated as a throwing catcher.  Severino was better.   Wieters was better.  McCann is way better.   How is this guy a generational talent?

Agreed.  I wonder how long Wells can go.

just a brutal performance by Kremer...is that "Debby downer"...?

To many softies in here. They’re used to losing Oriole teams
