I hate the Padres so much. They have been beating up on us in interleague. Few years ago it was Huston Street and his stupid dance move slide step that closed it out against us. Now Rodney and his bow and arrow. Can't catch a break against these guys. Waste of time to even watch it.

This loss is going to hurt a lot, for at least a day.

A win tomorrow will lessen the sting a lot. And if that happens, I will forget all about it.

Truth, but the chances of a win tomorrow are extremely slim with Mickey Mouse pitching.

Welp. This one's rare. The majority of the blame goes to the bullpen tonight. Everyone but Drake was bad.

We thought it would be Wilson the way he kept giving it up, but in the end he slogged through six innings giving up only three runs.

And watch, Drake will be the one sent down.

Not me.. A win tomorrow and it is still a series loss in my book against this crap team

I'll be honest, I don't know what his career numbers are, but Jones seems like one of the last guys I want batting with the bases loaded. He somehow seems to get even more impatient than normal. Added with that his propensity for the DP ball, not good.

Then you would have spoiled a lot of rallies. Coming in today, Adam had 101 ABs with the bases loaded and hit .297/.313/.416 with 72 RBIs and 22 Ks.

      From what I can tell the xAcc is about the mix pitches they get. It is estimating "likelihood a given pitch is called correctly." Has nothing to with the skill of the umpire. So if he had a low xAcc that game, it would mean he had a lot of pitches on the edge of the strike zone or for whatever reason their algo thinks they were hard pitches to call.  https://umpscorecards.com/explainers/accuracy So this scorecard is saying that for the particular mix of pitches Laz got, he did better than expected and this could be considered a good game. I say that's dead wrong.

      Definitely he was being diplomatic.  He'd have the best view of it and it wasn't like it was just off the corner, that was practically down the middle.  The whole ball was in the strike zone.

      I just don't see any justifiable reason why this isn't implemented.  I don't see why the umpire union would have an issue with it and it would make sure the calls are right.  We're already testing it in the minors.  Just bite the bullet and do it already.  Umpires don't lose jobs because they're still back there calling the plays.  The only ones who get mad about it is the old tradionalist's that consistently use the "human element" argument.  Which to me, is a crock.  So frustrating to watch constant mistakes when they easily can be rectified.

      FWIW, Kremer didn't know it was blown (according to post-game interview). Either that or he's a level 20 diplomat.

      Early in the year there wasn't room for a 10th round $100K pick.  Early in the season, the lineup at several times was literally the highest signing bonus to the lowest.  In Norfolk, it is still developmental and the $$$ gets developed.  It doesn't make business sense to prioritize low/late round picks.  If they happen to develop... it is likely on their own doing in their own time. As pointed out in another thread, Cook's EV isn't not the best.  His size, speed, etc are not elite.  Nothing, in my opinion, says,  "take me and keep me on the 26 man for the year.  I will prove my worth.".  He is likely good enough to keep on the AAA roster to avoid the MiLB draft and if there are enough injuries to get him an early shot, even then at what level would he have to perform to stay up? Cook is only in his 4th year and the O's have 3 more years (after this year) of control in the minors before he is a FA and can choose not to come back.  With the current AAA pay, it may be enough for him to keep the "grind" and eventually get that cup of coffee.  Look at Banuelos, right spot at right time in a blow out and he will forever be able to say he was an MLB player.

      It is interesting that Chris Davis‘s career WAR is only 11.8 so aside from that one splendid season he was pretty mediocre.

      It just doesn't make sense when they have the technology to improve it, to not improve it.
