Failure rate of a number nine hitter? 78% Any number nine hitter.

Caleb Joseph is walked on 5 pitches. Schoop watches 1 pitch...and then instantly goes into hack mode.

Joseph might have the best eye on team.

That's because they aren't very good. But you should still be able to ask a hitter on your team, regardless of where he hits in the lineup, not to swing at a breaking pitch a foot outside with the bases loaded when the pitcher has thrown 5 straight balls.

Skanks on the flag court.

They're probably Yankee fans.

We're not good with the bases-loaded. He hit it well, but it wasn't a hit.

6th in baseball (307). But don't let that stop you.

Yeah Joseph is one of the few guys on the team with a good approach, just not a lot of offensive talent to go along with it.

He hits a pitcher pitch. Asking this team for a big 2 out hit is asking for to much.

Stats with RISP and 2 outs. O's are 14th in MLB in batting average and 1st in the AL East. Incidentally Toronto is 29th.

If you include pitchers, it's probably a bit higher. Schoop watched the first pitch.

Nice comeback Gausman.

SitTFDOWN!!!!!!

We need an actual 2B who can swing the bat something awful. I am optimistic for Schoop long-term but his approach needs MAJOR refinement. He's very young and shouldn't be starting for a team with playoff aspirations.

Agree. And him looking up to Jones and Cruz and Presley's "swing at anything" school of hitting is NOT going to help him AT ALL in development.
