This exchange from last night's game thread needs to be stickied somewhere:

We have to be in the upper half of "give back runs" after we score. Maybe in the top-3.

Can anyone provide a percentage of innings after which we've scored where we allowed a run the next inning? (Perhaps removing situations where we scored and then there was no following inning, like we score in the top of the 9th but not enough to win or tie, etc) I have no idea how to look this up efficiently!

I have done this before, but I could not find an efficient way to do it. I analyzed every line score for the Orioles and two other teams over a period of months. It was painstaking, but I found that despite the belief on here that we always give up runs after scoring, I found it was only around 30% or so (I can't remember the exact number). That was lower than the Red Sox and Yankees, as I recall.

Appreciate the response. When was this study concluded (what period of months did it include)?

You can do the recent one and report back to us. It appears that every time someone makes this pronouncement and then someone goes and does the work, it disproves it.

I just ran the numbers for 2015 for the Orioles (if someone wants to run it for other teams, feel free). Thus far, the Orioles have scored in 279 innings in which the opposing team had an at-bat in the next subsequent half inning. Of those, the Orioles have allowed the opposing team to score in the next subsequent half inning 78 times, or 27.96%. In 51 games, the Orioles scored in such an inning at least once and never allowed the opposing team to score in the next subsequent half inning. (In another 9 games, the Orioles never scored in a half-inning in which the opposing team had a subsequent at-bat.)

Given that the odds of a MLB team scoring in any given inning is about 27.5% (based on dated data: http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/users/brooks/public_html/feda/datasets/expectedruns.html), that seems like about what you would expect. I would think the team is probably around league average in "give back" innings.

      Our biggest need is a solid third baseman.

      Mike Baumann 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I wouldn’t be shocked if Baumann has success elsewhere.   He’s got the stuff.  He just almost never has the command.  He’s running out of time.  When he’s clearly not one of the 8 best I think he’s gone.  Tates’s option saved him.  Does Akin’s option save him when GRod comes back and what about Wells.  They are going to exhaust every chance to get Baumann turned around before they are forced to make that decision.  I do think Hyde has a soft spot for him.  He’s singled him out for his “stuff” multiple times in the past.

      Please Brandon Hyde...no more back to back appearances as closer for Kimbrel

      I think Elias is already looking for a shutdown late-game reliever though not necessarily an established closer.  Nothing wrong with a loose committee.

      Enrique Bradfield Jr. 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Every scouting report?   Minus this Baseball America pre draft write up. “Bradfield has tormented batteries with his blazing speed since his prep days with American Heritage High in Plantation, Fla., where he ranked as the No. 66 player in the 2020 class. Since getting to campus at Vanderbilt, he’s lived up to his reputation as a dynamic, disruptive speedster and lockdown center fielder who has hit .313/.427/.450 in 190 games with 130 stolen bases at a 90.9% success rate. Bradfield is a lean and skinny, 6-foot-1, 170-pound lefthanded hitter who has a level bat path that’s conducive to line drives and ground balls. He has a strong understanding of the strike zone and has walked at a 14.7% rate, struck out at a 13.5% rate and in 2023 made contact at an 87% rate. Brafield projects as a 30-grade power hitter in pro ball, but has sneaky exit velocities—an 87 mph average exit velocity in 2023—considering his size and overall home run production. Bradfield is an 80-grade runner who should pepper ground balls, line drives and drop bunts for infield singles, with consistently high BABIP numbers and elite baserunning. His speed translates to center field, where he’s also a top-of-the-scale defender who covers massive swaths of ground, with great instincts albeit a below-average arm. Bradfield has a polarizing profile and has much less power than the average first round college outfielder, but he’s also a potential Gold Glove winner and stolen base champion who earns Juan Pierre comps.“
