I know we are all not huge fans of Odor either, but watching him absolutely wreck Jose Bautista with a right hand cross for his bat flipping antics and general d-naggers was absolutely a thing of beauty and a long time coming.

If Orioles fans wish to thank odor for standing up to the pompous scumbag and smacking him in his face, this would be the thread to do it in.

Maybe I'm out of place and maybe the mods won't approve, if so, I understand, but honestly, Bautista totally deserved that and fans everywhere should be standing up for odor for doing what should have been done a long time ago.

Agree or disagree?

Odor look like he nailed Joey Bats with a clean right and then got a second Jay who rushed him.

Serious punch against a guy with a helmet on.

Have some more, because more is better.

      Credit where it’s due to Melanie Newman

      By Philip · Posted

      There are three things you want in a broadcaster beyond the technical skill, and the knowledge of the subject: what they say, how they say it, and the voice with which they say it. Gary Thorne and Joe Angel had wonderful voices. Imagine them reading you a bedtime story. They’re just good to listen to. Melanie’s voice is awful. It’s a bad voice. She could replace Siri on your GPS, and no one would notice. Kevin Browns voice is a thin tenor, there’s no body or depth to it. He sounds like a teen aged kid. Ben has a good voice, the best of the group. Then there’s how they say it, the inflection, phrasing, pacing that can increase or decrease the excitement of the play, or at the very least keep you interested. Melanie fails here too, but they all do, mostly. Mike Bordick was the worst. I don’t know why he’s gone, but I’m grateful. Finally, there’s what they say, the ongoing banter between batters between pitches, that deals with baseball history, individual statistics, the ballpark, and other things that maintain listener interest. She’s terrible. But on this, they’re all terrible. They are all varying degrees of bad. The whole team should be replaced, but she’s the worst.

      Great Example of why Blown Saves/Holds are a bad stat

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I don't think most serious baseball fans even look at holds or even save percentages all that much. Anyone who watched the game knows that blown save is on Kimbrel and not Akin.

      It may have been the first time it was mentioned in this thread, so I can understand how you missed it.

      By Pickles · Posted

      I hate when people cite save percentage and/or blown save percentage when evaluating relief pitchers because it is a stat that is so wildly dependent on context it tells you very little on its own.  I think looking at overall team numbers is a better use of it but still flawed. And last night's game was a great example. Kimbrel was credited with a hold last night, despite allowing 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning, and it was actually Akin who was credited with the blown save, despite giving up 0 runs personally. I was just looking at the box score and this absurdity jumped out at me.

      On MLB just now the host were asking what should Baltimore give up to get Miller from the A's

      You'd target Stowers and Norby over someone like Cowser or Mayo?

      The sound of her voice is not an issue for me.  Its the words she says when using her voice.  Though I'll take this opportunity to revisit her hilarious description of Santander's catch in the gap last night as 'a ridiculous snatch'.

      I think Ryan Spillborghs is the Apple analyst.  He was there last year, and when they came to Camden Yards, he sat out in the Bird Bath and was really excited about it, really a good sport.  I thought he was pretty good as an analyst overall as well.  Apparently he also works on Rockies broadcasts as his regular gig, so probably just relieved to see a good baseball team play LOL.
