I didn't pick a fight with you. I just said the play was obvious and couldn't believe someone had any questions about it. I also don't think it's my job to get you a replay when they are all over TV right now and you'd have no problem finding one for yourself. You then proceeded to call me an ass. Yet, it's me who picked a fight? Funny stuff.

Well, when you make a comment like - "It's not my job", I think that's a bit over the top and being an ass. We'll agree to disagree on that.

If Tex had just run the play out he would have beaten the throw even more clearly and likely would have been called safe. Sliding not only slowed him down but it created extra confusion that made a bad call more likely.

The only time you ever want to slide into first base is to avoid a tag when the throw has pulled the first baseman off the bag (and even then it's a bad play because of the injury risk). Sliding headfirst does not enable you to arrive at first base more quickly; if it did, then Usain Bolt would slide at the end of the 100 meter dash.

It should be an organizational rule that players are taught never to slide into first base.

Question is did his hand lose contact with the bag before his chest hit it and did the ball arrive during the time he wasn't in contact with the bag?

I don't think that matters. As long as you don't "make a turn" towards 2nd, you don't have to remain in contact with first base.

He said in the post game, he could not run anymore, so he slid.

That sounds like a sour grapes justification to me. He could have stumbled OVER the bag and made it more clear than trying to slide. Fall down after you hit the bag. If it's good enough for Jake Taylor it's good enough for you.

You DO know what you just said, right? .;)

Yes. You can actually get ejected from a game after the final out of the contest is recorded.

In such cases, the player would subsequently get fined and possibly suspended, depending on the circumstances of the ejection.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
