I felt that way because he does damage against the Orioles every time he faces us. Why should yesterday be any different? I’m tired of letting Oriole killers beat us. Enough is enough.
He could have a single digit OPS and still find a way to murder us.
Other in house options like those, there’s really nothing that he can do until the deadline.
As long as he doesn’t do a Fujinama type thing again around the deadline.
Bright had a solid outing last night: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K’s. 49 of 84 pitches for strikes.
On the year, in 18.2 IP, Bright has a 2.41 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 and 3.3 K/BB. He’s allowed more hits than you’d like (23 in 18.2 IP) but had allowed only 2 homers (both in the same outing) and has done a good job keeping runs off the board.
Bumbry had wild swings in BABIP throughout his career. .375 in '73, then .274 in '74. .372 in '77 then .258 in '78. One of those guys who was really good if he hit about .300, but not so much if he hit .237.
Would be fun to see modern Statcast data for historical seasons to try to figure out what was going on there. Injuries? Bad luck? Just slumping?
