Well to me that is the best illustration on why there re so many arm injuries today.  In 20 years the athlete’s aren’t that much stronger.  They must be throwing the ball all out more often in today’s game than before.  I am not sure how you unring that bell though.

I heard the pitch clock has caused pitcher injuries.

7 innings, 2 runs.

9 straight quality starts.

All time Oriole record is 12 in a row, by Jim Palmer.

Starting to look forward to every one of his starts.  Burnes days are special.

Wonder what he could do if he wasn't as bad as he was tonight?

So far, Burnes hasn't been as sharp as usual....and that lost pop up COULD end up costing  us his length and effectiveness...

With the stuff he has, Burnes should throw more strikes.

Truthfully, Burnes is not that sharp tonight.  But like other top pitchers, he’s minimizing the damage.

The players want to blame it on that but like I said it has more to do with them throwing at max velocity every pitch.

They will be back stronger next year when key individuals return, but now seems like what goes around coming around.     There are still some guys in our organization who remember 18-1.

It is starting to look like the start of Junior Caminero's career might invoive being good enough for the 2023 postseason but a 2024 full of injuries and working on stuff taking up the entire year.

I think those comments are fair.  He was at 62% strike with 6k in 7ip.  He wasn’t super sharp and still dominated.  That just speaks volumes to his talent and ability.  He’s must watch TV.  He’s been incredible and we havnt seen him at his absolute best yet.  I’m so happy he’s on our team.

    • They also haven’t announced the times, yet.
    • Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.
    • You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.
    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
