2022 Season| Series #41 | Orioles @ Guardians | Aug. 30 - Sep. 1, 2022

[Benway]

My counterpart sits today,
It's my turn to go out and play.

It's my time to rise above,
with my bat, and hopeful glove.

And if I go 4 for 4,
I won't be sitting on no bench no more.

The Orioles starter tonight is more effective against righties than lefties. That could have played into the almost shocking decision to sit Straw after a day off.

xFIP of 5.32 (5.71 career) vs righties, 3.93 (4.28 career) vs lefties, if anything he looks like a reverse splits guy.

Lower is better, right?

Lower is better, right?

Yes it's viewed similarly to ERA (better for small samples). It would mean worse for us which would mean we'd theoretically want to stack the lineup with righties.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Since July 3 the Orioles are 32-16 which ties them with the Mets for the second best winning percentage in baseball. The Dodger are tops at 40-10.

Actually Seattle is tied with Baltimore with a 32-16 record. Those two teams have the best winning percentage in the A.L. over the last 48 games. And we get 10 games in a row against them. We're 1-3 so far but the last six are at home.

We're counting on Quantrill, McKenzie, and Bieber to shut them down and the offense to scratch a few runs together.

The Guardians are 15th in stolen bases with 68; the O's are 28th with 41. They're averaging about one stolen base attempt every two games.

US Open on the tube, Guards on the radio, a nice breeze coming through the windows, beautiful night.

Anything on the grill? I can bring the chips and salsa.

Nice screwbally break on that changeup to Mullins

So why again is Straw benched?

Wait, don't answer that.

 

[eChameleon]

Held them scoreless through one! Little victories.

 

[CATS44]

That will be overturned.
