Love hearing Reynolds' "telling it like it is". Unfortnunately, I fear his strike zone will be incredibly big tonight.

Isn't the ump who got the call right initially at the plate tonight? Perhaps, he will take pity on us tonight, give Zach a head to toes strike zone. He's going to need it.

Tune into O's Xtra at 6:30 p.m. on MASN2 and watch Mark Reynolds go on the verbal attack after being tossed from last night's game.

I hope this makes its way onto MASN's site. Must see tv.

The interview should come with a counter on a corner of the screen that adds up the amount of his pending fine with each comment.

lol

It would be nice to see the Governor's or Mayor's office request a review by MLB of the umpiring - really any sort of ridiculous sounding complaint - that provokes a response from MLB. Any response would likely have to acknowledge in some form that the Os were jobbed. Last night was a real kick in the groin - multiple, game-impacting, playoff impacting, erroneous calls (including a reversal and an improper rejection) screwing the Os.

At any rate, complaining of this nature is not going to reverse any poor calls already made, but you never know whether this complaining could lead to a beneficial call later.

The thing that bugs the hell out of me is, outside of questions over home run vs. ground rule double (even before replay review), can anyone remember the last time the umps REVERSED a call? I've been watching/listening to/following basball for the better part my 34 years and I cannot think of a time where a situation like this went down.

It my memory serves correctly, it happened to Mark Reynolds last year against the Red Sox.

Remember gme 162?

Jacoby Ellsbury was initially called out at first cause the throw beat him. Mark Reynolds didnt have possession and the ball was rolling up his arm as Ellsbury crossed the bag.

The play was overturned. Reynolds and Showalter handled that incident like a man, too.

That's the one I was thinking of, I knew the Red Sox were involved somehow.

I'll say this. Two days later, I am proud of these guys. Friday's game could have extended our frustration into the weekend and we could have easily been swept. Instead, we came out fighting and took the next two, showing that we cannot be held down. Great job guys.

That said, is there any update to this story? Any word from the league? That was the most absurd thing I have ever seen. Like Mark said, how can he blow a call right in front of him and yet see something (wrongly) 100 feet away? Ridiculous!

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
