baseball-reference.com is simply the bomb! I am far from a stat head, but I love that site.

Yeah, I'm with you. I still struggle to piece together all of the SABR stuff out there, I'm grasping some of the particular stats one by one, but can't really speak knowledgeably about how they all connect and draw meaningful conclusions, etc. Regardless, Orioles Hangout & Baseball-Reference has taken me from one hell of an ignorant in the dark baseball fan, to at least a quazeye, still fairly incompetent, but not nearly as bad fan. ;)

Feel free to use it with your friends! Nothing quite like calling your pals a giant boner sandwich when they are being a bunch goobers.

Reps for using the word goobers. Absolutely love calling people goobers.

      Anyone notice him smiling as he got into the box for his final at bat?   I think he was feeling a little better about life after making solid contact twice in a row.

      I would feel better about this game if he would foul off a few close ones with 2 strikes-like Kjerstad did last night-instead of just watching them go by. Take those pitches on the outside to the opposite field.  If your expecting 1 pitch but get another, fight it off. I'd be happy with another hit before another 15 ABs go by. Maybe throw in a few 95+ EV in there too.

      McKenna learning second base?!

      By jamalshw · Posted

      His path to staying in baseball is as a utility player. The more positions he can play, the more likely he is to stay in the league. Good for him. But I don't anticipate him back in Baltimore. We saw them go Kjerstad when Hays even though the team is very lefty heavy. With Mateo getting looks in CF and Cowser able to play there for a bit, there really isn't any role that he's next in line for (or even 2nd or third in line). Even learning 2B doesn't get him in a next in line position given Norby.

      In my book, he’s had two outings that were awful and three that were decent, including yesterday’s.  My guess is that if he has a decent outing on the 27th, the O’s won’t go through gymnastics to try to find a way to extend his rehab, even though his ERA has been a train wreck.

      Why is Tony still batting 4th?  Move Westy to #3 and Mounty to #4; or vice versa but good grief Hyde... come on.... Tony should be down at the 7/8 slot.

      Holliday looked a lot more confident last night and his defense is improving.  I don't think he's "getting better", I think he's finally relaxing and his natural ability that he's worked on over many, many years is taking over.  It's like he's been thinking too much about every action you take while swinging the bat vs. just swinging the bat and his muscle memory taking over.  I'm predicting him heating up a little bit.  It might only be to hit .200 w/ little power for the next week, but should be enough to keep him up.  The line drive (if weak) right at the pitcher was another encouraging sign that his timing is getting on track.

      Especially on an away day game after a night game.
