I disagree pretty whole-heartedly with all of this. Regarding the SB, just because "it happens" doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake. I like the attempt at the steal there also, but the bottom line is he was put in a pinch runner and made a foolish out when he had the bag swiped easily. The poor route to the ball wasn't on the throw home, it was on a previous play. To be fair that one was a tough play to make, but he definitely didn't take a good route to it. And I highly disagree about the 0.01% chance on the throw home. He took like 3-4 steps before throwing the ball and it was still a relatively close play. He probably lost at least a half a second just by not being ready to throw, which is an eternity in that context. All in all a very bad night for him. -

I wondered if Hays would have had the arm to throw out the runner McKenna couldn't last night. Let's not go crazy - I think Hays might be playing his way to flirting with a non-tender this winter with the high age 25-27 performance and a shaky looking age 29 outlook but plenty of clubs would be happy to have him as a lineup regular. With the watered down postseason, the Orioles look like they will have fair chances to play some Octobers, and if you weight a championship season's midpoint at July 15 instead of July 1, Hays' 2025 final Arb year would slide to age 30. The best 6th starter, best 4th outfielder, best 5th infielder are all part of competing to be the best, but it is peculiar to have just a couple trustworthy relievers. -
Fair enough, but I guess I just don't see how the title of Wildcard's post erodes the credibility of the thread or forums. While it could have been read in different ways, it actually fit what Wildcard was going for and I can't really ding him for that. I've seen seriously misleading titles and changed them, but in this case, I case we'll just have to agree to disagree. On top of it all, Wildcard, as a 20 year plus member here, will always get some leeway from us. He's an OG. -
