When all is said and done for the 162-game season in early October, nobody (except Oriole fans) will remember the umpire screwing Jimenez (and subsequently screwing the Orioles.)

In the record books, it will look just like any other 3-2 loss.

That's infuriating.

I hope O's fans remember Jordan Baker. He deserves some serious heckling when he comes to Camden.

Not if we miss the playoffs by one game. And Jordan Baker, I will remember that name, and heckle him if I ever get the chance.

Even if we miss the playoffs by one game, I don't believe that anybody except for Oriole fans (and Oriole players) will remember and/or make a stink about this game.

It happens a lot (teams and their fans getting royally screwed by an umpire in a crucial situation), and unless it's a postseason game, or at most, a VERY LATE regular season game, nobody remembers except for the offended team and their fans.

You're right unfortunately. Seems like even with new umpires, there is no improvement.

It's more likely that we'll remember Buck trusting an untrustworthy pitcher in clutch situations.

Your trolling thread was locked, and so now your coming here for your platform/agenda.

At least your Yankees won tonight, Red.

I missed Ubaldo's performance. I obviously know he was ejected, but I also know he walked 3 batters in less than 4. Was he good? Good enough? Did he look like more of the same from game 1 or did he look shakier? Let me know please.

Throwing a lot of good 2 seamers. Stayed down. Lost command at times but got back on track quickly. Velocity was a bit better from what I could tell. He was pretty good Imo.

    • Interesting.  He was throwing 97 when I saw him pitch against the Phillies in Clearwater.  
    • I'm not sure about that, the OPS split is like 26 points. I wouldn't call Suarez a hard thrower, either, his fastball averages 94 mph and it hasn't ticked up in the pen.
    • The Mariners face the Yankees next.  Rodriguez can heat up then.  
    • Yes, but he also said he hoped Hays would be ready after the off day.  So it’s unclear if Hays still isn’t ready, or if it’s just a matchup thing.  Last year Miller fared much better vs. RHB than LHB, this year, he actually has mild reverse splits so far.  
    • Yeah, but, they can't stay cold forever can they?
    • Seeing @SteveA's post about the Twins' ongoing ineptitude against the Yankees got me thinking about the other AL Central teams, who it seems come up small every time they play the MFYs (save for the Tigers in the playoffs). In short: this is the rare case where perception matches reality. Since 2001 (i.e., this century), AL Central teams are 272-492 (.356) against the Yankees in the regular season, "led" by the White Sox at 60-87 (.408)—the only team to crack .400. At the other end, the Twins are 46-106 (.303)—the worst winning percentage in MLB this century by one team against an opponent in its league—and the Royals aren't much better (46-105, .305—the second-worst winning percentage). Minnesota has won the season series against the Yankees only twice this century (2001 and 2023); the Royals are even worse, having won the season series in 2014 and lost 18 of the other 21 (the teams split in 2005, 2008, and 2011). In the playoffs, Tigers teams managed by Jim Leyland are a combined 10-3 against the Yankees and have won all three series they have played (2006 ALDS, 2011 ALDS, 2012 ALCS). All other Central teams are a combined 9-25 and have lost nine of 10 series, with the lone series win coming from Cleveland in the 2007 ALDS (home of the infamous Joba bug game). Minnesota accounts for six of those series losses, with a 2-16 record (the Twins won one game each in the 2003 and 2004 Division Series). With the Yankees hosting the White Sox this weekend, we'll get a near-immediate glimpse of whether current trends will continue...
