Are you saying you’re hoping he’s traded? Because this doesn’t make sense otherwise.  

Yes, I’m hoping he’s traded and I’m hoping we bring in 2 starters that are upgrades.

Hopefully he isn’t starting for us next year although I suspect he will be.

A team could do a lot worse than Kremer as #5.  Yeah, this means the O's will have to acquire a pitcher (hopefully more than one) during the offseason, but after last year, I won't hold my breath.

I'll give him props for wanting the ball no matter what the results are.

There you go. Glad you get it.

Yes they could but the Os can also do a lot better. They have the resources to do it and they should.

If there is a game 4.

Kremer was going to pitch one of the two games in Texas.  So was Gibson.  They both need to pitch well enough for the O’s to beat Texas in both games.  Hence, I don’t think it really matters which game is started by which pitcher, unless you think there’s some inherent reason why Kremer or Gibson would pitch better in Game 3 than they would in Game 4, or vice versa.   I can’t think of any such reason, but I’m open to suggestions.

Of the 15 games Kremer started since the beginning of July, the O's won 13.  In his last start against Boston he went 5.1 and gave up 2 hits. 0 runs, and struck out 8. He's been solid recently.

Just win game three. Worry about game 4 afterwards.
