Yeah, that seemed way too risky. Like when B-Rob flipped to Tejada for the third out last year, only Tejada wasn't covering. Safer to go to first for the third out with a fast guy at first.

It makes some sense if you're the second baseman ranging to your right to get the ball so your momentum is toward second. Not so much if you're on the left side of the infield.

By the way, that is one fugly uniform Texas has trotted out today...

Vest with placket piping, T on the upper left breast and little numbers waaaay down by the belt on the right side.

I can't stand any of those sleeveless unis.

That is not 100% true. Sometimes it is a lot easier for the SS to throw the ball to second. Even the 3b if they are ranging to their left to get the ball.

You rarely see the player safe at second on an out to end the inning. Players usually know if they have a chance to get the out or not.

The Reds had them forever, and they looked right to me.

I think the Rangers looked best back when they had the red ones. I wonder why they messed with them?

Because they can make $$ selling new unis and making their old ones into "throw backs".

      I'm already prepping myself to be outraged if Suarez doesn't win Comeback Player of the Year

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Today is the day that we find out whether Burnes was worth the trade. Yes, he's had a very good year overall despite the 5 week time period where he did not pitch all that well, but he was acquired to be the TOR for the playoffs.  He will set the tone for the playoffs by how he pitches today. A win today takes the pressure off the Orioles after their sweep last year and makes them a very dangerous team.

      We are all so sorry for everything that has happened down there. How did you make out personally? Was your house affected? How do you feel the response has gone? Are people flocking in there to help? Is it not enough? Too much?

      Thanks everyone. We are in a bad way here. Things are still evolving but the devastation is off the charts. This is worse than the 1916 flood, which was the worst on record.  Thanks for the support. Many people are suffering. We have the hospital open and functioning in disaster mode. Doing our best in a really bad situation. I may try to check into OH for a break, now and then. Go O's!

      Innings Pitched - 2024

      I think Suarez earned the right to make one of the first 5 starts next year while at age 29 McDermott and Young are finishing whatever they need to do so the Orioles can control their age 37 seasons at Arb 2 if they are any good.     I might be off on the years. Povich's progress this past month was enticing enough I do think he is closer to Kremer in the 3/4 section of the rotation than a swingman. Suarez has been so good this year I think it is bad mojo between Elias and his clubhouse if he doesn't get a few turns early.    Clubs using detailed video analysis rigorously to spot mechanics they can fix to unlock this kind of production I also think overrides anything ZiPS or PECOTA or whatever floats your boat there would say about Suarez's demographics. If we don't sweep but survive, I think Friday is an interesting discussion if you use Povich or Suarez in Yankee Stadium Saturday.
