      The leg kick nothing to do with the length of swing.  The swing starts when the front heel drops (after whatever stride/load mechanism is used).

      Where’s his ranking for walks?  Curious how his walk rate is compared to the league average.

      Honestly I dont know her history but she seems like she did not grow up a baseball nut but is trying this just to be an announcer.   If baseball really has to force women into all these jobs they should go to the women who played softball at a high level like college and international level.  Bring them in.  There are some amazing women softball players that would actually have real insight into the game.

      'How dare you keep highlighting a positive stat about the Orioles!' is an odd take, that's for sure.

      Is anyone still sentimental about the pitcher win?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I agree with Tony that I don't get the fact that the SP is automatically ineligible if he doesn't go 5, but the subsequent reliever is, even if all he does is get the last out of the fifth and nothing more.  If its up to the scorekeepers discretion who gets the win in certain circumstances, why can't the starting pitcher get factored into the possibilities in those situations, at least as an option?  You don't HAVE to give it to him but you can if you feel he's the most deserving.  I don't get why that's not the case in the right circumstance (IE, Bradish leaves after 4.2 w/ the lead, and the O's never give it up - why does the guy who gets one out in the fifth get that win?  That's dumb). I do think .300 BA does and should still matter though.  Just because batting average isn't the best stat to determine the best hitters, it doesn't mean that a .300 batting average isn't good.  You bat .300, you're a good hitter, IMO.  Doesn't necessarily mean you're better than a guy who's batting .250 with a much higher OBP and/or OPS.  But it does mean you're a good major league hitter - assuming decent sample sizes.

      As I've said numerous times, she's tolerable on TV PBP, where a timely and accurate description of the action is not essential.  I wouldn't say she's good at it, but it's passable.   It's the radio PBP where she's basically unacceptable.

      The Gunnar HR call was horrific. She referred to McCann as Adley on a throw to second. I don’t expect perfection. People make mistakes and misspeak. I get it. But she’s not good imo.
