Has Suarez moved ahead of Kremer on the starter depth chart?

[wildcard]

Could be important when GRod returns.

If the playoffs were to start today it would be,

Game One - Burnes

Game Two - Eflin

Game Three - Suarez

Game Four - Kremer

Game Five - Burnes

Would Burnes pitch on short rest?

GRod should be back for the playoffs.

I'm starting Suarez game 3 right now.

I would say you take into account who is pitching well.  Problem with Kremer is, he has a great start and then has 3 stinkers in a row.  He can't be trusted.  Suarez looks like he started the season with an advantage that batters knew nothing about him.  Then the league adjusted, hit him hard.  The last few starts, it appears that he has adjusted and is pitching well again.  

Dean Kremer, truly a box of chocolates.

There is an extra off day in the ALDS this year, so he could. The issue will be when they are a Wild Card team and Game 1 Wild Card will just whoever is the most rested. after the season ends.

He always was in my book. Move Kremer to the pen for the playoffs. Let him take Kimbrel's spot.

[Frobby]

I’ll worry about that when Rodriguez is ready to return.   Looks like Kremer and Suarez will each get 4-5 more starts before that happens.  A lot can happen between then and now.  

[Moose Milligan]

Yes.

We need 4 SP for the playoffs.  I don't think Burnes is going to do us any favors in the playoffs before his big payday.  

[Aristotelian]

It seems crazy but yes. Love the 0.6 HR/9. 

[Tony-OH]

If playoffs started this week, sure. 

But I think we have to see who is throwing the ball better come October. Hopefully Grayson will be back and we're talking the 4th starter in a series.

Suarez is back to throwing the ball well, but we also have seen him get into funks. 

I think it's too early to know who will be that guy come October.

There's a reason Kremer wasn't figuring into the rotation at the beginning of the year he was in the BP until all the injuries.

[maybenxtyr]

Today yes, but both of them can be unpredictable so it will change before any decisions have to be made. 

 

I'm not sure what his status is going into the off season,  but he's definitely pitching well enough to be in Baltimore in 2025.

Kremer has never been in the bullpen. Not sure what you are referring to.
