Kremer is the one guy on this team I’d most like to see step it up.  

Yes, it would help to solve one of the team's two big problems during the rest of the regular season; then one hopes Grayson will be back to take over in the postseason.

Also, Dean's one of the young veterans we've seen long and close enough with the Orioles to know that such hope is not groundless. Sort of like expecting Mountcastle to bash a few key home runs in the remaining month and a half of play, despite being way below his normal rate so far (AB/HR ratios: 21 (2020-23); 32.5 this year).

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.

Looks like he did! 😃

Haha, was at the game with my friend and his son. What a great game, well pitched, Gunnar blast, Holliday and O’Hearn smoke em later in the game, a Roy Firestone special to bump lead to 3 and a sick double play to end it.

Interestingly Kremer has been fantastic 1st time through order this year (.524 OPS 1st PA in G, .727 2nd…985 3rd)

For his career he’s been very consistent (.725 1st PA, .775 2nd, .723 3rd)

Could he become a major bullpen piece for the playoffs?

Interesting comparison across years.

6 innings pitched

2 hits

1 ER

3 walks (no thanks to another crappy home plate umpire)

7 strike outs

I crap all over Kremer when he deserves it, but tonight he threw a gem. One of his best games as an Oriole. Thanks dude, we needed that.

Big game for Kremer. We needed that. We have to remember that Kremer battled his own injury this year too.

He had a very slow start with the injury and is now getting into full season form! We are going to need his command to be this good for the playoffs.
 

he was interviewed before the game and talked about getting a better feel for the splitter, a new pitch, and where it is going. He could be Efflin good when he pitches with great command.

Holy crap. Kremer takes a line drive off the arm. Huge swelling. Have to think he's done for a while. 

It did look brutal.  Now they did run some tests on it and said he has contusion, X-Rays negative.  Not out of the woods but hopefully just a minor stint on the IL.  Wait, what's supposed to have more players on it, the team or the IL list? (sorry... just trying to inject some humor in these tough times).

That's exactly what it seems though yes?

I can’t recall ever seeing a welt that big form that fast. Massive welt before he even left the mound, on the back of his wrist/lower forearm. I’ll be a little surprised if he pitches again. Maybe end of September I guess. This years version of the Orioles might be cursed, with these two injuries last night the final proof.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Why do you think he's overly reliant on L/R matchups???   Yes, he definitely emphasizes them.   But I think the results bear out that he is correct to do so.   Really good team pinch hitting numbers. I agree with criticism of his bullpen management, though I wonder how much of that is dictated (not as in they tell him who to bring in during a game, but the organization endorses and even pushes the overall strategy of using relievers for an inning or less all the time).

      Specifically on O’Hearn, you can see how frustrated he is right now. Felt like he slammed his bat down multiple times in this series. They’re pressing big time.

      My reading after watching the video, Dean took a different route than the questions intent. It’s a pretty generic question “the team hasn’t been able to get on the same page the hitting defense pitching etc. anything that can change with 3 weeks remaining?” id guess the expected answer is something about getting guys back from IL and finish the season strong. For some reason Dean used it as an opportunity to go a different route and talk about who plays

      I didn't know that pointing out a fact equated to crying,  but whatever.    I'm not taking up for how Elias has managed this team. I think they've made quite a few mistakes along the way that have diminished any long term window or pipeline.

      It seemed like he was responding to “does anything need to change?” and giving a non-answer.  It would be weird if he thought the issue was roster/lineup/bullpen decisions because there aren’t really great alternatives.

      It was a frustrating loss for sure.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Overall, Hyde is fine. I like him as the manager and I generally think people completely overrate what a manager is and does in today’s game. Most managers have the same in game strategies. The team is winning the last 3 seasons under him and he has pressed a lot of buttons correctly with pinch hitters this season. That said, the pitcher usage can be odd at times. Cano for 2 pitches last night is definitely head scratching. Now, that doesn’t mean we win or anything but I think it at least it increases your chances of winning. But they lost last night because of how much they expanded the zone. They could have scored way more runs in this series but they kept letting opportunities go by. One thing I noticed, especially with someone like OHearn, is almost as if they were trying to guide the ball to the monster. It’s an inviting target and wonder if they sometimes gets in their heads.
