The 2024 70+ Game Score Thread

[Frobby]

So far, the Orioles rotation has thrown 11 games receiving a game score of 70 or higher.  By that measure, here are the best games pitched by an Oriole this year:

84 Bradish 5/26 7.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 11 K’s

79 Bradish 6/8 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K’s

79 Means 5/4 7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K’s

77 Burnes 3/28 6.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K’s

75 Kremer 5/5 6.0 IP 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K’s

74 Rodriguez 5/18 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K’s

74 Irvin 4/27 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K’s

73 Burnes 4/9 7.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K’s

73 Irvin 5/3 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K’s

71 Burnes 5/29 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 K’s

71 Kremer 4/9 7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K’s

Nice to see 5 different pitchers represented on this list.  I plan to keep it updated each time we get a 70 game score outing.  Will anyone top Bradish’s 84?   That won’t be easy.  

For those unfamiliar with Game Score, here’s the definition from BB-ref:

1. Start with 50 points.
2. Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched.
3. Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th.
4. Add 1 point for each strikeout.
5. Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed.
6. Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed.
7. Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed.
8. Subtract 1 point for each walk.

Cool thread idea. Hopefully many more to come.

I was a little surprised that Burnes was not in the top 3
