      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      That’s not how I see it.  You’re in a 1-0 game, the strategy is different than 3-0.   For example, Cedric had a one-out single in the 8th inning, down 3-0.  There was no reason for him to attempt a steal then, but if it’s 1-0, maybe he does try it.   Anyway, I don’t want to take this too far off track.  I just wish Adley was throwing a little better.

      5/7: Nats Steal One From The Birds

      By Otter · Posted

      Definitely.  And just terrible luck as well.  We had a number of hard hit balls right at fielders, and they had a couple bloopers in their two run inning.  And they got the benefit of some terrible ball/strike calls.

      Thought Exercise: How to Improve Strike Calling W/O Robo Ump

      By Otter · Posted

      I'm as upset as anyone that Angel Hernandez, CB Bucknor, and Laz Diaz still have jobs, but I don't really believe this is the worst season in memory for terrible calls.  I think it just appears that way because of the data fans have access to now and the fact that social media has really focused on the issue this year.  I'm certain that the majority of umps now are incredibly more accurate on balls/strikes than the umps back in the 80s/90s.  Do you remember Eric Gregg and Ken Kaiser and Garcia, and many more of the incredibly arrogant and incompetent umps back then??  They would hold grudges and change the zone from game to game or even inning to inning.  Again, I'm not excusing the terrible strike zones from certain current umps, and I denounce the fact that terrible umps have no consequences for their incompetence....just wanted to remind people that it's still much better than it used to be.

      Another Positive Indicator for the Orioles Season to Date

      By Frobby · Posted

      I’m not saying they are trying harder.  But they have a good ability to stay focused following adversity.   For example, last year the bullpen blew 31 saves, but only 15 losses resulted because the offense was able to retake the lead so often.  That’s not easy to do.

      And they lost by three. If we are being super simplistic about it, the stolen bases didn't factor into the decision.
