I think what makes them creepy to me is that they are inconsistent in size. If they were all life-sized it would be fine, but with them as they are I feel like I'm living in Uncanny Valley.

Not currently. This is a resurrected old thread without a title change. Last time Valaika was DFA'd was February to my knowledge.

Can we PLEASE pull Castro now?

Ball one nearly hit Harper in the ankle. Might have been a k if that ump from a couple of games ago was back there.

I can only follow on mlb gameday at the moment... they are showing it as an error.

Oh believe me, I'm with you 100% on that, this is BS. The rule book should be changed to always rule in the visiting team's favor in matters like this. One team has control of the grounds equipment and could manipulate it to their team's favor... the other team does not.

There won't be any extra travel... they are going make it up next weekend at OPACY when we play the Nats again.

How long do they wait? I mean, are we going to restart this after three or four hours? I know the Nats don't want to throw away a comeback attempt just because of the incompetence of their grounds crew, but come on... enough is enough.

It's in the game recap video here. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/video/orioles-vs-nationals-recap-8-8?t=t110-default-vtp

Okay, Iglesias is on second again' all is as it should be.

Inglesias stopped at first base. I thought he wasn't allowed to hit singles?

Man, the fake crowd noise is atrocious tonight.

It's not 0.7 grams. It's 7 trillionths of a gram.

7 picograms of Oral T? How long ago did he take it? That's such a stupidly small amount that I'm going to guess that he ingested it in a past life.

A lot the issue is unrealistic fan expectations regarding draft picks. Many seem to think that the hit percentage is many times larger than what it actually is. Or that we are terrible at drafting players, when statistically, we haven't really varied much from league average.

The team is still doing surprisingly well in pitching recently. Of course, it doesn't help to average 2 runs allowed per game for a stretch if you'e not scoring at all.

Must have forgotten than last game's home plate ump isn't back there anymore.

Ugh. You're the home team down by one, late in the game, corners and one out? Lay your bat on the ground for that first pitch, it's going to be the worst pitch you see all week. Not the best approach there.

I've always found it funny that they can precision-guide a baseball to within an inch of their attempted target 60.5 feet away 95% of the time, but if you ask them to throw it another distance / direction.... who knows where it's going to go?

They'd have ranked us dead last even if we just won it all, it's just how they are. "Sure, on the surface, the Orioles just won the world championship, but underneath that champion's exterior lies a deeply flawed team that I suspect will go on a fifteen game losing streak any moment now."

These ghost fans have quite a lot of energy.

Did he just call him Chad Sisco?

Gone off the bat, you didn't even need to see it to know.

Definitely. It's not a minimum wage dime a dozen stink job where you go, eh, forget it, I'm not going in today. This is pretty ominous.
