I was at the game yesterday and you have to give credit to the offense for scrapping for 6 more runs after being down 9-2 after 3 innings. That's complexly demoralizing yet they didn't go through the

Kremer. He’s stepped up and delivered some gems this year.    No desire to see Westburg right now.

I want the offense and the pitching to show up during the same game on Tuesday.  16 K's in Game 1 was brilliant.  8 runs in Game 2 should be enough but it sure won't be if you're going to give  up 11 walks in the process.

My vote is for Kremer to start, because I'm an optimist and I believe the O's will need Gibson's veteranocity for game 4.

Westburg has been no worse than any other hitter during this stretch. He only had one at bat yesterday and he had a double today

yeah I'm not getting the Westburg shade, maybe just post game frustration... admittedly I didn't see his ABs today, did he look poor in the field? Stil, 60% of his PAs this series have ended in hard hit balls in the air which we've been clamoring for.

Mullins has got to sit. He is BRUTAL right now. 

You don’t have a glove in CF that helps you. He has to play. You have a righty going in the next game, hopefully that helps although Mullins only has a 633 OPS lifetime vs Eovaldi..in 30 at bats.

MLB playoffs are about who is hot.  If we lucked into a Mateo heater then he needs to play no matter the righty/lefty matchup.  Urias has been scuffling anyway.  By the same token Hicks has to play and they should consider sitting Mullins.  It was good to see O’Hearn have a good swing, maybe that carries over.

We are probably rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic but you lose the ability to worry about a downgrade in defense when you $%#* the bed offensively in the first 2 games.  You don’t completely disregard it but it can no longer be the priority

In 17 games at Globe Life Field, the slash line against Gibson is 247/305/414 and an OPS+ of 91.

In 101 IP, his ERA is 3.28. 1.2 WHIP. 7.8 K rate and 2.5 BB rate.  He does have a HR rate of 1.4.

So, he has that going for him but the current Rangers team has an 850 OPS vs him. Now, most players  dont have many at bats vs him. Grossman has 27 and he only has a 450 OPS.  Semien has 26 and his OPS is 872.

The Rangers have an OPs of 805 vs Kremer. He only has 4.2 IP at Globe and his ERA is 1.93.

The offense scored 8 runs in Game 2.  That should have been around 3 more than necessary.  Gunnar, Mateo, Hicks and them didn't walk 11 batters.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is still feeling the effects of his injuries. Even though Eovaldi is pitching, I agree that someone else needs to play CF on Tuesday instead of Mullins.

I would not complain either way but I probably would go with Gibson.  
 

 

The reality is that we don’t have a good option. We just have to pick the best of the mediocre options we have and I think Gibson is the guy to pick based on his experience.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Say O! · Posted

      More Corbin Burnes day please. 19 whiffs yesterday for Burnes with curveball generating 5 whiffs (on just 7 swings) and slider generating 7 whiffs (on just 8 swings).  Definitely the best his breaking stuff has looked all year.  Key was starting in zone and dropping out, whereas Burnes had been burying too many into the dirt and not starting the pitches competitively within the zone.  Palmer has mentioned Burnes preference to stay away/away with most offerings, but yesterday Burnes finally seemed to vary location at least a little bit and pitched to more quadrants (sprinkled sinkers in to RHs and cutters in to LHs).  To me that is what made offspeed more effective instead of hitters staying back and looking away/away.

      For all the gnashing of teeth from some about him only going 6 innings every time, he's only 1 inning short of Zack Wheeler who is largely considered the best SP in baseball.

      rWAR is Baseball-Reference (some call it bWAR).  fWAR is Fangraphs.  fWAR now uses OAA as one if its main inputs for defense.   Some people are complete OAA converts and believe it’s vastly superior to the other advanced defensive metrics.  I’m still in the mode of looking at all of them (Fangraphs publishes OAA and it’s old stat UZR, BB-ref publishes Rdrs and Rtot).  If there’s a consensus, I buy it.  If 3 of 4 basically agree, I buy it.  If it’s a split, I go with whichever ones agree with my eye test.   Not exactly scientific but it keeps me sane.

      GM John Mozeliak did a 15-minute sit down with the local NBC affiliate a few days ago - some of what was discussed was TV revenue uncertainty.    It was interesting to compare that with the Orioles partnership having the club and network to maneuver with.

      I happened to see him yesterday.  The game results aren’t on Savant yesterday but I kept looking for this new cutter and kept seeing 96 mph fastballs and sliders.  Pretty sure Savant showed like a 90% cutter usage before that game.  Now it’s down to 66% and shows more of the fastball and curve.   He have up a double to a LH hitter on a slider but looked good overall.   His last pitch was a 12-6 slider/curve which could be a great swing and miss pitch.  The mechanics looked smooth and the fastball command looked good.  I’m just curious if he was throwing cuttters and they break like sliders or he just wasn’t throwing it yesterday.   Maybe @Tony-OH knows?

      Ideal 2025 lineup...

      By EERinthe804 · Posted

      With the infield depth in the Os pipeline, I'm beginning to think that Holiday should get some run in CF to see if he's capable of being Mullins heir apparent.  Mullins currently is under control thru 2025 and would be a FA in 2026.  Currently, the organizational depth at CF isn't great and I believe with Holiday's body type, he could potentially fit in at that position.  I'd like to see next year's non-pitching roster look something like this: C-Rutschman 1B-Mountcastle 2B-Westburg SS-Henderson 3B-Mayo LF-Cowser CF-Holiday RF-Kjerstad Bench - backup catcher, Hays (2026 FA), Mullins (2026 FA), O'Hearn (2026 FA), Mateo (2026 FA)/Norby
