When We Lose and Our Competitors Lose.

I've thought about this question before.

I think when we are holding a lead, I am a bit closer to the relief side. Because I mainly feel happy that we have a lead.

When we are chasing somebody, I am a bit closer to the angry side. Because I mainly want us to catch up.

This home plate ump is pathetic' date=' he may have cost the Padres the game with his atrocious knowledge or lack thereof the strike zone. Despicable for what is supposed to be a major league caliber umpire.[/quote']

Yeah, that was really bad too. Gave a walk to Bautista and changed the whole at bat for Donaldson.

Prior to the Bautista walk' date=' Travis should have struck out on a 1-2 pitch the ball got the entire outer portion of the zone. Brutal to watch.[/quote']

Green lost it going to Villanueva. He is Padres worst reliever by a mile

I look at this way.. if Orioles lose and they lose, it's still a win for the Orioles.. at this point Orioles have two games in hand that the Blue Jays don't. As of today they have 60 games left. Orioles have 62. Keep playing .580 ball and we are golden.

    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
    • emmett16 is right. Uppercut swings produce a lot of groundouts because the bat is not on the same plane as the ball for very long. The best swing stays on the same plane as the ball for a longer time. This will produce contact that creates backspin on the ball which makes it carry. That Ted Williams book is one of the best hitting books ever written.
