As long as no one in the game thread goes to eat dinner, we should be fine. :laughlol:

Are you thinking about spaghetti? At a dining room table? With garlic bread and a wife and giddy kids?

Maybe. But stop thinking that right now! :) Sit at your computer/TV/radio/etc and listen to the game. For the love of God, don't go afk for dinner. The O's will serve you a plate of disappointment for dessert.

Willie Randolph is not a dummy at all ............. but it seems like "Oriole stupidity" seems to be wearing off, even on an otherwise excellent baseball guy.

And I don't care how close the play was, you don't send Vladimir Guerrero home with no outs and a 7-1 lead, unless Nick Swisher is 350 feet from home plate with the ball in his hand, and he is on the ground, writhing in pain.

Looking at the replay, the ball took a while in the corner before coming to Swisher's hand. I think Randolph thought he cd take advantage of that.

My Bagel Bites were delicious, and the can of whoop ass tasted mighty fine as well.

I just got back. This is the dumbest *****ing team that I have ever seen. I was listening on my car radio, and they sent Vladimir Guerrero home on a double with no outs. It could be 11-1 or 12-1 by now.

BUT WE ARE UP 12-1!! And that was the same inning that Reimold had a two-run triple--Don't get too greedy!

      Gold Glove Infield?

      By Philip · Posted

      I edited my comment to include Mountcastle’s defense in OAA and Runs Prevented compared to other first basemen, but to your question, yes, I think it is unlikely that we will have so many.

      He’s been an interesting case where he seems to get scorching hot for a month and then ice cold the rest of the season. He’s been a little less scorching and a little more steady thus far. I still expect him to go ice cold because that’s his career MO. But he’s filled in quite  nicely.

      There was one AB later in the game when he swung at a couple low and aways. You could see him admonish himself, but he did lay off of the next one. I don't care if he hits honers or not, just getting on base is a huge bonus.

      How flashy the other fielders are isn't relevant since he's not competing against them for the award. Unless of course you think they would not give him a GG since that would make too many Orioles getting one? He's going to be competing against other first basemen, none of whom are flashy.

      I think MC is going to get more competition from his teammates than from other first baseman, because it’s unlikely for all four to win.   However, I just checked, and defensively, Mountcastle is tied for 20th in first baseman OAA at -1( leader has 7) and 20th in runs prevented at 0( the leader has 5)

      I think you missed my point, which is that on the Orioles, if you make a list of the best defenders, regardless of how good Mountcastle is, others will always be ahead of him because the nature of their positions makes it easier for them to have a web gem.  When they’re handing out gold gloves, Westburg and Gunnar and AR are more likely to get attention. At first, a mistake will often be more memorable than a difficult pick, which is why I mentioned Mc’s gaffe.

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      I'm glad for Mullins. They are a much better team when he's a part of the offense. Hopefully today was step one of getting the slump behind him.
