Why isn't there a screen?

I don't think that's as bad as the one a section over for me right behind the O's dugout the night the O's clinched vs Toronto last September.

I saw the woman about 4 or 5 seconds after it happened and a huge knot -- definitely bigger than a golf ball, was protruding from her forehead.

I am assuming this is the incident from tonight in Pittsburgh. There is a screen. But she was standing right behind it and the ball took the slack out of the screen.

As I said in the thread about the Orioles fan turning his back on Alex Rodriguez when he came to bat ......

o

I wouldn't turn my back on anybody at the plate, I don't care what they did/have done.

The risk of getting hit in the back (or side) of my head with a line drive wouldn't make it worth it.

If you can help it, you should try to never turn your back on the baseball action while it is happening ...... whether you are doing it intentionally as a means of dissing a player, or if you are doing it unintentionally, as this woman did.

      Kimbrel is striking out 14.9 per 9.   Lack of strikeouts hasn’t been an issue for him.

      From what I've understand, the issue is less about park dimensions but about the batting eye behind CF.  So it could have an impact on any type of hitter.

      Didn't former Oriole Closer go right from college to the Orioles Pen after a very brief cup of coffee in the minors?

      That's a BP factor not a ghost runner factor.

      Top Ten Reasons Why the Orioles Are the Best Team in Baseball

      10. Nobody can hit against Orioles pitchers. They cano hit against Cano, Burnes burns them, Means is mean to them, Webb puts them in web of deception, Akin is akin to Koufax at his peak, all they can do is suarez at Suarez, Cole leaves them cold, Bradish bradishes an unhittable slider, hitters bow to Baumann, their hair turns gray against Grayson, and bats cool off against Coulombe. 9. Seeing that everyone else in the rotation is throwing shutouts, in his next start Burnes will hold the opposing team to -1 runs. When the rest of the rotation matches that, he’ll hold them to -2 runs, and on a good day, -5. Opponents will get dizzy running the bases backwards. 8. At some point during the season, when the Orioles lead over the second-place Yankees shrinks to only 20 games and everyone is panicking, we will hear trumpets and the pounding hooves of calvary charging up the steps at Camden Yards, and riding in on a huge orange and black charger will be the savior, who will lead the Orioles to victory . . . yes, the return of Jackson Holiday. 7. Spring Stowers bring Mayo powers. 6. They have a Murderer's Row of Holliday, Nordby, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Stowers … and that’s just the reserves. 5. There once was a closer Kimbrel, Who bragged he’d put hitters in hell, Craig Kimbrel can boast that the game’s in the bag, Cuz his name is an anagram of Limerick Brag, So save after save he’ll befell*. (*We’ll ignore some recent performances.) 4. You can’t spell “Baltimore” without “Mateo RBI” and an “L” for the two Lefty pitchers he’s homered against. 3. The Orioles have given up two or fewer runs for seven straight games, outscoring opponents 29-8. In other words, par. Next they go for birdies, which should be easy for an Oriole. 2. On April 11, Colton Cowser hit his first major league home run. It traveled 438 feet. He sent us a clear message – do I really need to spell out the obvious? Okay. 438 is divisible by 2 x 3 x 73. Who are #2 and #3 on the Orioles? Henderson and Mateo, both shortstops. And who was the shortstop for the ’73 Orioles? Belanger. In 544 plate appearances that year, Belanger hit exactly zero home runs while batting .226. Cowser’s clear message to us? We are no longer hitless wonders. Duh. 1. Oh, and they lead the AL in home runs by ten, in slugging by 42 points, OPS by 27 points, runs by 12, lead the AL East in batting average and in both fielding percentage and efficiency, lead the majors in ERA in May (1.20, and that doesn’t include the 2-0 and 4-2 wins at the end of April), and in a secret vote their starting rotation of the past week was voted Greatest Starting Rotation in History.
