You know what? If we get the 4, we are GUARANTEED to play UNC (unless Miami upsets them).

However, if we get the 5 there is a good chance we play BC or VT. I'd rather play BC or VT as a 5 then play UNC with a day off anyway.

SO GO HEEEELS!!!

Yea, I was just talking to my Dad (A Terps fan) about this. I think you guys would be better off just stomping Miami on thursday afternoon, and getting BC or VT on Friday. The only downside to that is the possibility of getting upset Thursday against Miami, while really unlikely, would certainly sting.

I don't know how many basketball fans Miami even has, but also keep in mind that they'll be playing a de facto home game.

Thankfully, I just bought new running shoes, so that'll help. Carolina will not let me down! I may stay online a bit during the game just to read updates here on Dukehangout.com.

That's a classic line.

So now not only do you have all your fellow Oriole fans rooting for DUKE, but your Heels are playing to keep you from having to jog to Florida!! (Although, BC is getting beat handily at GT, so I think you'll be ok)

Yes, but like I said before we may be better off getting the 5, stomping Miami and playing either BC or VT the next day.

True, if we're going to make a run for it though I wouldn't mind having to play one less game. I guess you can look at it as a win-win either way.

Who would we play if we got the bye?

I always knew you guys were closet Duke fans.

Uh oh. That line right there might lead a bunch of people to say "F DUKE" and root for Carolina even if it doesn't benefit them.

I, however, am comfortable with my non-Duke loving self, and can root for them if it benefits my team. I don't have to like it though.

Well depending on who we play w/ the bye, I would have to say I wouldn't mind playing VT or BC. Lost to both during regular season and I would say that our quest for a 3 seed would be strengthened if we beat one of those two and miami.

      Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, Urias can play 2B. Leave Westburg at 3B like they did with Gunnar at SS and let Mateo and Urias split 2B duties for now.

      Updated SABR Defensive Index rankings

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I have attached a link to the latest SABR Defensive Index (SDI) player rankings, updated yesterday for games through June 7. (Although I'm pretty sure I've posted one or more of these in the past, I couldn't find a previous thread on SDIs. It doesn't quite fit under Gold Glove awards or discussions. But then again, I often can't kind my phone, my keys and/or my wallet, so there may be an extant thread that is eluding me.) https://sabr.org/sdi The SDI is a compliation of defensive statatics: "A composite measure of fielding based on five fielding metrics and computed by a committee working under the auspices of the Society for American Baseball Research. Four of the metrics comprising it are zone rating statistic; Chris Dial's Runs Effectively Defended, John Dewan's Defensive Runs Saved, Sean Smith's Total Zone Rating, and Mitchel Lichtman's Ultimate Zone Rating. The fifth metric, Michael Humphrey's Defensive Regression Analysis, is based on conventional fielding indices but uses statistical procedures to rid them of bias. The Index constitutes 25 percent of the method used to determine Gold Glove Award winners."  I belive zero is supposed to be league average. The Oriole highlight of the update is that Gunnar Henderson is first among MLB shortstops, is tied for fourth among all AL fielders (Texas' Marcus Semien is way ahead of the rest of the field), and is tied for seventh among all MLB fielders.  Here arevthe rankings for the Orioles among qualifying AL fielders, with comparisons to qualifiers on the team we're chasing right now. Some of the rankings seem quite odd to me, but in a rare moment of conciseness I'm refraining from comment. Pitcher -  Burnes is 21st, with a negative SDI. Three NY starters (Cortes, Stroman and Gil) are ranked higher than that.  Catcher - Rutschman is eighth. The NYYs' Jose Trevino and Austin Wells are third and tied for ninth. 1B - Mountcastle is fourth (highest among AL East 1Bmen). The NYYs' Anthony Rizzo is sixth. 2B - No Oriole qualifier. The NYYs' Gleyber Torres is seventh of nine qualifiers, with a negative SDI. SS - Training Gunnar in spots 2-4 are Volpe, then Seager and Witt in a tie. 3B - Westburg is fifth, one spot behind the NYYs' Oswaldo Cabrera.  LF - Cowser is third, well behind Verdugo in first. CF - Mullins is tenth (with a negative SDI). Judge is tied for fourth. RF - Santana is tenth (with a negative SDI). Soto is tied for second.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I understand, but Crochet is going to run into an innings limit later this season.  He would then have to go to the pen this season.   We do need help, no doubt about it.  It will be very interesting to see how Elias handles who he targets and what he's willing to deal away.

      That is true, and a lot of the “badness” has been Westy him himself. I think he’s a very fine player, and I don’t want to sound disparaging, but I would much prefer that he be at third all the time.
