I'm starting to feel really embarrassed for Ryan. 0 for 30 is getting pretty bad for a positional player.

Never, ever throw Joseph a knee high fastball on the inside corner.

Serious question -- who has the better 2016, Joseph or Wieters? Wieters at his best was better, but moving forward, it could be Joseph.

[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] great job Ubaldo...I hope we have this Ubaldo the rest of the season.

We always have this Ubaldo. He is always the same. He sometimes hangs a pitch or two or nibbles or gets his hands an inch or two two high in the back part of his delivery. Or has an umpire that will not call a pitch for him at the bottom of the zone. But when he has 94 in his pocket and can drop the split, he is just as likely as not to be unhittable. It's not like it is the first time.

Re: Caleb, I was a little worried that after he ended last season slumping that the league had him figured out but he's had a quite impressive sophomore year. He's becoming one of my favorites too. He's got one of the best approaches at the plate on the team IMO.

It's not as irrelevant considering his defensive metrics have been terrible all season though. I'm not trying to bash him. I liked the pick up. Just saying it is definitely early but he hasn't been great.

Defensive metrics only begin to have meaning with a seasons worth of numbers and even then they are sketchy.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/

      No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
