The Orioles almost made everybody feel better about them.
Are you looking for a podcast about your favorite baseball team? Unless you’ve found your way onto this Orioles website by mistake, you’re in luck, because I have a new episode every Monday and Friday about the ongoing 2025 Orioles season. Episodes are 20-25 minutes in length and usually feature me reacting to the current trajectory of the team while looking ahead to what’s coming next.
Today’s episode includes this bit in which I am trying to will myself into believing that Dean Kremer is due to pitch better than he’s done so far in 2025:
The Wednesday Orioles starter is Dean Kremer, another guy with an ERA over 8. It’s 8.16! He’s allowed four home runs in 14.1 innings. Even more than Charlie Morton, another 8+ ERA guy, since Morton is 41 and Kremer’s only 29, you can expect better than this. I didn’t have high expectations for Kremer, but still, his previous two years: 4.12 ERA in 2023, then 4.10 ERA last year. Those aren’t great numbers, but that guy should be your #4 or #5 starter. Kremer shouldn’t stink this much and probably is due to look like he’s done the last couple of years. Maybe he’ll start to do it against this Guardians team that has a few good hitters and also a whole lot of junk in its lineup.
