That call at the plate....

NO he wasn't. Sadly, his foot gets there in time, but it is raised above the plate. That is what cost us. If he slid to the outside he would have been save easily.

His heel comes down on the plate before the tag is applied.

Whatever, you can choose to believe what you want.

First of all, the ball beat Andino and it's tough to get the call on those. Second of all, the replay is even inconclusive with many thinking his ankle was tagged before his foot touched the plate. You really have to be a homer to blame that one on the ump.

No one's getting on Jeter for not running over Wieters. When Pie didn't run over Chamberlain, people were up in arms. Now, one of the best baserunners of his generation gets blocked off the plate by Wieters and called out. Oh, the irony!!!

Three things.

1- Where does it say Jeter is one of the best baserunners of his generation?

2- Who cares what Jeter does?

3- He not only was called out, he was out.

I can't really tell from the replay posted, but I'm forced to watch the YES feed since the MLB package is blacked out here when the O's play the MFY's and the replay they showed right after it happened looked pretty clear to me that he got under the tag and was safe.

It could have happened that way if his foot was on the ground. It wasn't.

He was safe, Martin was lazy with the tag, he didn't sweep his glove he layed it there then dragged it across after Andino hit the plate. The throw beat him but if Andino has a NY symble on his right chest and the game was in Yankee Stadium he is safe.

Nice gif. Rep to you. He is safe, under the tag and crosses home.

You can't tell from the gif. when the C touches his leg. Could be out, could be safe, from that angle. Clearly the ump has a good view of it, so he was out,,,,,, unless... the ump is being paid off.......:scratchchinhmm:

    • Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.
    • On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games
    • I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.  
    • Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?
    • What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
    • This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
