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.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
