To me Kremer is the Chris Tillman of the 2020's. Mostly stunk in his early MLB chances, started to figure it out around when the team got good, and has become a reliable, crafty, good but not great pi

Yeah, he could move to the planet Earth where starters who qualify for the ERA title and throw to a 100 ERA+ are no. 3 starters, as opposed to the fantasyland where they’re not.

Saw this on Facebook and thought it was funny.

Ok I’m listening, what is your point 

It was sarcasm. Urias is not an elite defensive infielder. 

Everyone saying that we can't bring Mayo up to play 3rd because Urias' defense is superior isn't watching Mayo play third and is pretending Urias is still living in 2022. We saw it Tuesday. Urias cost us at least 1, almost certainly 2, and possibly 3 outs. That double play that he tried when he picked up the ball tagged 3rd and threw/rolled the ball to first would have been a really interesting play for Mayo. I don't think he gets the runner at 1st, but it would have been close with his cannon of an arm.

Lets see if he can step up big and send us into the break with a W!

Yep. Dean's gotta step up. Going into the break up by one combined with the rest the players obviously need might right the ship!

Ben McDonald said he considered today one of Dean Kremer’s most impressive outings for the way he was able to maintain his composure despite all the defensive miscues, and I’d have to agree.  It was a feat to get through 6 innings only allowing 4 runs with the way the defense played behind him today.  Better luck next time, Dean.

We really need Dean to give us some innings and be consistent to finish this season. Here’s to hoping. I think he’s got it in him.

Orioles are 6-10 this season when Kremer starts. Tonight he gave up 5 ER on 4 hits, 5 walks, a wild pitch, and to top it off he balked in a run. All in 4.1 innings facing a last place team. A year ago he was our #3 starter, and with all the injuries he still slots in that spot even with his 4.70 ERA. 

God help us.

Just not good enough.  I'm assuming he is arbitration eligible this off season.  He should be non-tendered.  We need to move on and sign someone better.  

I think they need to (and will) keep Kremer, there have been too many hits to the SP depth already. 

But, I'd like to go into the season with him as the #5. Or even better, in competition for a spot.

I'm not saying we should non-tender Dean. I agree we need him for depth. But your plan is kind of what the Orioles did this season. In fact, we were all pretty damn happy with our depth in April. We came into the year with:

Burnes, Grayson, Wells, Irvin, Kremer, Bradish (IL, but ready soon), Means (IL, but ready soon), Suarez

We had a 5, with Bradish and Means coming back to make it 7/8. That didnt include Povich/McDermott who I think we all thought would pitch for the Orioles at some point in some capacity. Even with the uncertainty of Bradish and Means, Kremer was probably considered our "5", although the last three were probably somewhat interchangeable. When Bradish and Means came back, Kremer was certainly the 5. Injuries have ravished this team, and while we have been able to stay afloat to this point, its looking less and less likely that we will make any noise this season.

I keep seeing these posts about Bradish coming back soon. He’s not pitching until 2026

      Is it possible that our organization's emphasis on new technologies, data driven analysis, etc has perhaps gone a little too far...

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      I'm glad you brought it up, I've been looking for an excuse to hate on Norby.  In the long run, it's not possible for a slugger. Sluggers hit the ball hard. You need to be an outstanding contact hitter at ~86 EV to be a good hitter. Altuve, Kwan, and Arraez make it work. .300 Hitters. The rest at ~86 are Austin Hedges or Jorge Mateo types that are just not good at hitting. You could argue it's a small sample size but Norby's EV at Norfolk was 87.8 this year, too. Which is terrible. Lower than noted sluggers Niko Goodrum, Peyton Burdick, and David Banuelos. Mayo, Kjerstad, Holliday, and Stowers were all above 90. EV isn't the end all, be all. But if you don't hit the ball hard and you don't make a lot of contact, you're not a good hitter. Norby's Contact% is really bad, too. Btw, Luis Matos hit .300 in 2003, people forget.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      Exactly, it's not like Norby would ever supplant Westburg -- and Urias had the hottest bat on the team at the time.  Even now if Norby were on the team he would likely be DH or 1B because Mounty and Kjerstad are hurt.  Norby was always going to be trade bait -- just got dealt in a weak trade (so far anyway).  I think we're expecting too much of a team with Eloy Jimenez, Emmanuel Rivera and Austin Slater in the lineup.  And we're expecting Holliday and Mayo to be great out the gate, which happens less and less these days.

      Injury updates

      O's potentially have seven players returning from injury before the end of the season.  Of the seven, Mountcastle appears to be the biggest question of whether he will return before the season ends.  Here is the most up to date information I can find: Pitchers: Grayson Rodriguez (15 day IL) - Rodriguez (lat) could face hitters at some point this week during the Orioles' road trip, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Danny Coulombe (60 day IL) - Coulombe (elbow) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday according to pitching coach Drew French, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Jacob Webb (15 day IL) - Jacob Webb resumes his rehab assignment Tuesday night with Triple-A Norfolk, which plays in Durham, reported by Roch Kubatko. Batters: Ryan Mountcastle (10 day IL) - Manager Brandon Hyde relayed Monday that he wasn't sure when Mountcastle (wrist) would return from the 10-day injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.  Hyde stated “I don’t know, I don’t know,” he said this afternoon. “I want to say it’s optimistic, but I’m not really sure. I think he’s gonna come back by the end of the regular season, I just don’t know when.” Jordan Westburg (10 day IL) - Westburg (hand) was spotted fielding grounders while the Orioles were warming up prior to Monday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.  Westburg was not wearing anything on his right hand for protection.  No timeline set for his return, but expected to return before the regular season is over. Heston Kjerstadt (10 day IL) - Kjerstad (concussion) began a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Saturday and has gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run over his first two contests with the affiliate.   Ramon Urias (10 day IL) - Urias (ankle) is progressing and said Friday that he's confident he'll play again before the end of the season, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.  Urias is off crutches.

      Players need offense defense and running ability.  Jiminez has NONE of those qualities.
