Hopefully I'm not the only one posting here, and since we've got some Orioles in it, I don't think it should get deleted.

Jones and Cruz haven't gotten a hit yet, but the AL leads 3-2 in the top of the 4th.

I for one, am sad to see Jeter go......2 for 2.

Funny moment happened with Jeter batting in the first. As soon as the pitch is thrown a guy yells "overrated", and Jeter promptly hits a double.

Sorry I haven't posted lately, I was just wiping the vomit off my carpet after that nauseating jeter suckfest.

Hope it's finally over. But wdn't surprise me if they kept spouting the stuff the whole game--all the way up to the MVP award.

I was looking for a game thread myself. A shame we haven't heard from the O's bats yet.. hopefully this inning. I love our the announcers have literally not said a single word about any of the 3 O's.. other than to say they haven't talked about Jones. At least we won't hear too much more about Jeter tonight. He deserves a lot of respect and what not.. but its basically all they talk about.

      Or the Williams sisters, but I doubt he'd mention girls.

      Are we worried about MLB-worst walk rate?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Possible? Sure. Yet, I'd be surprised by any trades in the divisions, unless it was considered a minor one.  I doubt Elias would want to see any of his prospects helping an AL East rival when he can get similar players elsewhere.

      Tiger Woods, of course, standing as an excellent example of a guy who was precociously skilled at a sport at a very young age (because his dad made him play) but never quite got there as a pro. There’s some merit to what you’re referencing here. I would absolutely buy that his lifelong exposure to baseball is a significant factor in his success at a young age. But I think that type of thing is far more applicable when evaluating youth or high school, maybe college level players. At lower levels and younger ages, I suspect extreme advantages in experience, practice time, and hands-on coaching can absolutely give a less talented kid a leg up. However, I think there’s a ceiling for how far a ho-hum kid can go on the back of force-fed baseball obsession — and I’m pretty sure that ceiling is a lot lower than “excellent hitter at AAA at age 20.“ I think you have to have the goods to reach that level, no matter how much baseball your daddy exposed you to as a kid. Ceiling-wise, as I’ve said, I do think he’s probably lower than some of these absolute tool demons like Gunnar and Witt and Acuna. I would not trade Gunnar for him, for example. But lots of these guys I’ve compared him to as 2Bs (Cano, Utley, Altuve, Pedroia, Kinsler) were not super tooled-up guys, and they’re all among the 25-50 most valuable players of the last 25 years or so. I don’t know that you have to be a Greek god to be a perennial All-Star type player, at least at that particular position.

      Why do you want to elevate the opposing pitcher's pitch count?

      I really hope that doesn't happen. Hyde said that the 6-man rotation was not going to be a permanent thing, nor should it with our schedule and our bullpen situation. The pen needs a long man. Suarez is a maybe to complete five innings. Suarez should be in the pen, not starting at Yankee Stadium.

      If a team is not getting walks, they aren't elevating the opponent pitcher's pitch count. They are also having quicker innings and taxing their own pitchers.
