I know that the results aren't there, but my impression has been that McCann's ABs seem to have more potential than Chirinos. I don't know exactly what stats even to look at. Would it be exit velocity? Barrel rate? Expected batting average or OPS?

See attached, coming to a O's Hangout outlet near you

Remember when Grayson was viewed as the savior of the O's starting rotation? Good times.

We were arguably a hanging splitter away from sweeping the Yankees in the Bronx

Cedric would have had it

Wow... great block by the catcher

The punks out there actually recoiled when the ball arrived. Amateurs...

Very true, but look at 4 through 9 in their lineup. Do you really know who any of them are?

But it's not your typical Yankees team where the entire starting rotation is comprised of FAs, with FAs all over the diamond.

This is not a Yankees team I typically hated with high priced free agents. There are a bunch of schmoes I never heard of before that came out of their farm system. I still hate them though

Palmer on Boone's ejection - "Not the first time I've seen this"

It won't be irrelevant if there is a challenge system on ball/strike calls

It's gonna make framing less important too.

I honestly don't remember a year when the strike calling was this bad. Especially on the outside part of the plate.

Robo-ump is going to change the game. IMO for the better.

You know what they say about blind squirrels and their nuts...

Your choice. I think Ced has earned the right to deal with a personal issue without having us try to speculate and pry. But you be you.

I have a confession to make. I went to bed last night at 5-1 Please forgive me

Love that Gunnar is happy to take a walk (though the home plate ump bailed him out a few pitches earlier)

More important than whatever he's dealing with?

Huh? The O's would announce if it was a physical issue. They'll tell you when it is a bereavement or family leave. But they chose to say it was personal reasons to clarify it wasn't a typical benching. It could be anything, but Isn't Cedric entitled to some privacy?

3 for 4 so far tonight. Currently hitting .415

Maybe it's because Mateo is OPSing .262 in May

I'm going to market a new T-shirt. "Sports Guy Was Right"
