He had bicep soreness, and he was out for much longer than expected. Then he pitched poorly in rehab games. I hope he can go 5 innings, but I'm not sure he's ready to pitch. This is going to be a test. Seattle isn't a good hitting team, but if Kremer cant command his pitches it could be a long night for the Orioles and an early exit for Kremer. What say you?

Kremer is a dawg, you cannot change my mind.

I'm not worried about what he did in the minors, I just hope his tricep strain is behind him.

Well, I sure didn’t expect that.  What a job by Kremer.  Glad he’s back.

Roy , I hope Kremer has no set backs tonight .  Then the staff can evaluate him closely

I don't really care too much about tonight. Obviously, I want to win the game, but I want him to throw a decent number of pitches, around 80 or so ideally, and get a clean bill of health tonight and tomorrow. 

Kremer is one of the best back of the rotation starters around in my book, and we'll need him to be a big upgrade over Irvin for the 2nd half. Whether it's tonight or 1 or 2 starts from now, we just need him to hit his stride and pitch well enough to get 16+ outs each start.

I'm worried that your minor trepidation won't be sufficient to activate the Roy Firestone reverse jinx.  Now I know he's gonna get lit up. 😁

Like I’ve said in other threads you’ve started like this, I don’t really have expectations when a pitcher debuts or comes off the IL.  I just have hopes.   Nothing in Kramer’s rehab was all that encouraging, but I’d still hope he goes 5 innings and allows 3 runs or less against a weak hitting Seattle team.

As an aside, what the heck’s up with Julio Rodriguez?  .244/.294/.324 — really?  Seattle looks awfully feeble when he’s not hitting well.

I hope he can go 5.  Not really stressed about pitching poorly in rehab games, those are games to make sure that he's good to go and healthy...they're not focused on performance.

Just want to see him have a solid start, throw strikes and put the team in a position to win the game...and feel good after.

Seattle is a fortunate draw for Kremer's comeback, they can't score runs. If he can just throw strikes he'll be fine.

Was about to say the same thing.  They can obviously still hurt you if you don’t execute but it’s definitely a soft landing spot for him.

Bad lineup, big park. 
 

5-6 IP and 3 or less runs would be nice.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’ve been in a mild state of sports depression since Wednesday. Angry and disappointed at what felt like, for me personally, the worst Orioles loss of my life time. But as I drove up to my house today, I looked at my Orioles flag, and I felt love. Love for the Orioles and love for the guys on this team. I remember getting a little emotional in 2018 when the previous core got blown up. I wondered if I’d be as invested with a new cropping of players. Well dammit, I ride with these dudes. I believe in them. They’re young, they’re talented, they play for each other. Growth is often not linear. Maybe Hyde can adjust, maybe he can’t. There’s plenty of questions now   It’s going to be long wait. And I have no idea if this team capitalizes on their potential. But I’ll be rooting for it. Because I love Baltimore, I love the Orioles, and I love these guys. I still don’t want to take down my flag just yet…. Go O’s!

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Yeah, it really is interesting because when I watch Lowe in regular season games, he (like many of the Tampa hitters) has quality at-bats and is very tough to get out. I have always thought of him as a really solid player and I actually feel bad for him because that kind of narrative comes to define you as a player for a lot of fans.....especially your own fanbase and especially when they have never won the whole thing. The good news is the narrative can change quickly, but you really do have to come through at some point to help your team win the title. Even though it was just one game and one series, I think Game 5 of the 1983 World Series was extremely important to Eddie Murray's legacy given it was on the heels of an 0-21 streak ending the 1979 series and 2-16 heading into that final game in Philly.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have the money to sign him, he would absolutely be my #1 target, ahead of Burnes and Soto.

      Yeah, that game was amazing. The precursor to that was on Monday in Atlanta in Game 1 of the DH. The Mets had a 6-3 lead going to the bottom of the 8th and the Braves scored 4, topped off by an Albies bases loaded double.  So they went to the 9th down 7-6 after a really disheartening inning. Then Lindor hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 9th and the Mets ended up winning 8-7, which sent them to the playoffs.  When you do something like that, it can really build confidence and I think it helped them a lot last night. There is no way the Os would have been capable of either of the comebacks the Mets just pulled off, but it was really outstanding to watch.  Having guys like Lindor and Alonso really helps!  Philly is going to have their hands full with these Mets.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      What would O’Hearn get if he does become a free agent?  He doesn’t hit for ton of power, decent runner but not lot of speed, average hitter with average on base percentage that doesn’t play defense well and mostly a platoon DH type guy. Could you decline option and get him for less or is he at market value at 8 milliin.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at his age he's going to be what he's going to be velocity wise. Some guys are just going to be slim. He's not going to suddenly gains 15 pounds of muscle.
