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.

I haven’t updated this since the OP, mostly because there have only been two games of 70+ game score since then, which is indicative of how our starting pitching has been.  The two new entries are highlighted in bold. 

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

75 Eflin 8/9 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 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

73 Rodriguez 7/2 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 8 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

How does this compare with teams like cleveland and NY?

I just did a search for “AL pitching game score rankings by team” and got nothing. I’m terrible at internet searches.

Cleveland (5):

82 - Tanner Bibee

77 - Tanner Bibee

74 - Shane Bieber

72 - Tanner Bibee

70 - Gavin Williams

New York (16):

84 - Nestor Cortes

84 - Clarke Schmidt

81 - Luis Gil

77 - Luis Gil

77 - Carlos Rodon

77 - Carlos Rodon

74 - Nestor Cortes

73 - Luis Gil

73 - Luis Gil

73 - Marcus Stroman

71 - Luis Gil

71 - Luis Gil

71 - Carlos Rodon

71 - Marcus Stroman

70 - Nestor Cortes

70 - Marcus Stroman

 

Probably worth noting that New York’s most recent 70 game was July 22 (Rodon’s 77), and that they only have two 70 games since June 4. 13 of their 16 such games occurred in April and May. Sounds familiar.

By way of one other comparison, Seattle has 26 such games, which leads the league. NYY ranks 8th with their 16, we are 18th with our 13, and CLE actually brings up the rear of the entire league with their 5. There are 16 individual pitchers in the league with more 70 games than CLE’s whole rotation (led by Seth Lugo with 9).

All right, you’re going to have to tell me what search you did to find this information, for which I am very grateful thank you.

I have Stathead through Baseball-Reference, which makes these things a lot more manageable (for a monthly fee).

I’ve been searching around for a source that has sortable individual game score rankings without the subscription aspect — I’m not sure one exists. If you go to the Fangraphs player game logs, you can sort each individual pitcher’s games by their “Game Score 2.0” (GSv2) and it will give you a combined score for the year. And you can do the same thing in the Baseball-Reference game logs with original game score. 

But unfortunately I can’t find an individualized “rankings” of game scores anywhere. Sorry!

Suarez with a 70 today

Coming into today, teams had won 82.1% (341 out of 415) of games when their starter posted a 70 game score.

It’s a real accomplishment by the other 25 guys on the roster to manage to pull out a loss despite the SP’s excellence.

Cade Povich recently recorded the 4th-highest game score of the season for the Orioles.   New entries since my August 11 post are in bold:

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

78 Povich 7/3 7.1  IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 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

75 Eflin 8/9 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 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

73 Rodriguez 7/2 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 8 K’s

73 Eflin 9/1 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 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

70 Suarez 8/11 6.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's

Nine different pitchers have recorded a 70+ game score for the O's this year: 3 for Burnes, 2 for Bradish, Kremer, Eflin, Irvin and Rodriguez, and 1 each for Means, Suarez and Povich.   That's a total of 16.

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.

This scoring system completely disregards the opponent.

Povich's last start wasn't in the top 11? That kind of discredits this score. Yes, it was against the WS, but this is not taken into account by this score.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
