vs. BLUE JAYS, 4/11

Schoop isn't hitting enough to make boneheaded mistakes like that...let alone two in one inning.

Also, Flaherty + bad defense = wtf is he doing on the roster?

That was a bad throw, but Flaherty hasn't made an error ever at shortstop in the major leagues. He's been fine. That play was bad but that inning was squarely on Schoop.

Yep, they changed the scoring due to the second error.

Cool.

So, my scorecard was right all along !!!

I refused to mark it as an earned run, because I knew that it wasn't.

OFFNY, official scorer.

Indeed. It's a bit silly to be criticizing Flaherty for his defense.

.167/.194/.233/.427

You've made my point for me.

Sample size, bruh.

All of it. If anything, everyone else tried to overcompensate for that.

I just re-read my statement. I guess it kinda sounds like Tillman was at fault for something in that inning. I certainly didn't mean that. I just hate it costs him personally an earned run. I'm not jumping off the Schoop bandwagon, but I am definitely ready to see #13 penciled in.

I didn't mean to fault you anyways. Meant to praise Tillman's ... Kwan.

On paper we had this in the bag. Now we're kicking the ball and getting shut down by a scrub.

McGowen's stuff really isn't that bad. The Orioles had their chances so far tonight but have not hit in the clutch and have had several long balls knocked down by the wind. The Orioles won't get shut out tonight but this game should be 0-0 if not for the horrific defensive performance of Schoop in that inning.

    • To put things into context, Jackson has so far an .898 OPS at AAA in his age 20 season (he started the season at over 1.000 before his call-up, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that going up and struggling might've had some effect on his numbers afterwards).  Mayo at age 20 had a .782 OPS between A+ and AA. Basallo will turn 20 in 60 days. He's about 2/3 of a year younger than Holliday. In his age 19 season he currently has an .810 OPS. In Jackson's age 19 season he had a .928 OPS at Bowie before moving on to AAA where he OPS'd .796 in 91 PA.  Unless there is important statistic evidence suggesting that ISO at the major league level is a more important indicator of future success than say wRC+ or OPS (and if this were true, we should be encouraged by the fact that Jackson has gone from a .176 ISO--.133 at the same level--to .196 ISO from age 19 to 20) I don't really see any argument for putting Basallo or Mayo above them. With all due respect--because I think you are putting forth some interesting points and almost convinced me before I did this little exercise--I think you are likely subconsciously being affected too strongly by Jackson's 36 PA at the ML level. 
    • Good luck. Tomorrow is still TBD it appears.
    • It seems to make little sense to go to a 6 man rotation given how thin the bullpen already is. I certainly hope that is not the plan. Yes we can “get by” against the struggling Braves using Tate and Akin in high leverage situations. But that odds of using such mid relievers against good opponents (who can hit) is not very likely.
    • Yeah and at this point we dont have to use him in every save situation.  The other guys have been very good and just looking at the numbers it is gonna be almost impossible not to make the playoffs.  The division would be great but if the Yanks win 105+ games you just tip your cap to them as they are playing unreal baseball so far and continue to stay healthy.   There are only 6 team in the AL over .500 with Boston at .500.  Assuming 90 wins makes the playoffs(which i think will be less then that actually this year way the top teams are playing all we have to do is go 45-50  the rest of the way to make the playoffs.  The Red Sox and any other team would have to play  above .600 baseball to get to 90 wins.  If we don't get to 90 wins a whole lot more then having to use a different guy in a save situation here and there to give him rest.  
    • Hate to say it but that is how I have felt for a while now.  I just don't see the athleticism or the special qualities in him that you do with a Gunnar or a Judge.  Things that make them standout from the rest.   He looks just like a regular player.  I see a young looking, not very athletic, good baseball player for his age. The best prospect in baseball?   I have doubts on that.    And that is not to say he won't be a really good player in the future.  I just don't see superstar.
    • God, I hate flawed baseball players.  They're the absolute worst.
