He was running hard to get to the ball but it certainly looked to me like he had time to make the play. I'm not suggesting it was a super easy play for either player. Silly thing to argue about really but yea, if the outfielder can get to the ball he should call off the infielder.

He's this close after pulling up.

He was there. He had to pull up and slide to not interfere with the play. How was he not going to get there? I will admit I didn't think Santander wouldn't have called him off...what with the mask and all. The announcers are even assuming Santander will make the play.

I'm sorry, you're right, its way easier to go out on the ball and catch in like that instead of coming in on the ball. Santander also wasn't so close to the play that he had to slide to keep from complicating the play.

I assumed Santander was trying to call him off, if he wasn't that was, of course, on Santander. He had the easier play on the ball.

I watched the over the shoulder play on replay and while it was a great play I can't help but think he should have let Santander make the attempt. But he, he made the catch so it's cool.

I am so interested in how hitter and pitchers would react to a set, definitive, strike zone. Who would do better, who would do worse.

Sweet, I get to use the picture I was hunting up when you deleted the thread.

It's totally his fault the Ump missed the strike three.

They are probably just talking about how much the Sox must suck if they lost to the O's.

Might be a limited posting member with over 500 posts thing. I've got mine.

I'm not seeing a green font...

I'm guessing this is a permanent change.

That was the one Dan Deadline Deal that I really liked. Miller was a needle mover.

Chapman trade?

I'm overrating the O'Day contract? Would you agree that a hurt O'Day had basically no value when traded? According to Cot's Contracts the Braves paid O'Day a rounding error short of 11M. The O's traded Matusz to the same Braves in 2016. The Braves assumed the 3M left on Matusz's contract and the O's sent a second round pick with him for a couple of 16th round non-prospects. Looking at that simple math, the Braves thought 3M was worth a low second round pick. So if the O's got 11M in salary relief from those same Braves... ERod was a top 100 prospect when he was with the O's. Davies wasn't some unpolished nobody in low A ball.

I was thinking about a double header.

Dumping O'Day's contract really impacted the Gausman return.

Can you imagine the Bobblehead?

He wasn't changing out of some wet swimming trunks in the back seat when the wrong person walked by. What he was doing was an intentional act.

Gausman and Bundy were representational products of their draft position. Matusz had some early success as a starter. Eduardo Rodriguez has had a nice career as has Zach Davies. That's enough to move them out of dismal.

Not true.

Oh no. Options the O's would never consider are being taken off the table.

Draft status.

It is not as if Dan's group were complete failures when it came to producing ML talent, even if Dan traded a fair bit of it away.
