I've said it before... all the people who are so damn eager to dismantle the team as quickly as possible and rebuild for the future:

(vs. D-RAYS, 6/30)

 

That one stung ........ a lot.

Of course it had to be Hechavarria who came through with the RBI single to tie the game as well. Between stung and a lot, I filled in those blanks with a few curse words at the sports bar and I usually try to avoid cursing in general but that was definitely a rough L.

As fans, we can choose to tune the team out for a game or two if we're that disgusted (although I won't be doing that.)

The players have no choice ..... they have to get right back on the field tomorrow, and put what happened tonight out of their minds.

If Brad wants to be a closer he can't have nights like tonight.  Walks a nobody, balks him over and then because Castillo doesn't stop one slider is afraid to throw another. He is too talented to let that stuff happen.

The last time Brach blew a save on Friday night this team went into a tailspin.

I think that may be right.  And I'm superstitious. I really dislike the Friday black unis. So yes, Friday losses and that look give me the willies. This will be one that stands out.

Right. I think it was Hunter on the radio last night, but he made it seem like it was a little shady.

It was clearly a balk by the rules. Don't listen to Hunter he knows nothing about baseball. The point of the rule is to prevent pitchers from deeking base runners and batters, It shouldn't be called if that is not clearly the intent as it wasn't last night.

Yeah, he made it sound like the hitter was up to some shenanigans.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Last year Shohei held up the market until just after the winter meetings, but I think Soto and Burnes being so far ahead of the pack it could play out like the Cole/Strasburg/Rendon year where the top echelon went boom, boom, boom.  2024 winter meetings are December 9-12.     Boras has a lot of the cards at the top of the market.    A fly on the wall of Steve Cohen and David Stearns conversations how to be "smart", as Mike Elias put it, might hear interesting stuff. Elias has about 2 months to form recommendations with whatever budget there is.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      It really does not matter how many times you say it or how many ways.  The Orioles have blocked prospects, but Holiday simply isn't one of em.  He got his shot earlier than anyone.  It din't work out.  Hopefully he will be good to go next year.

      Sure. We have an extremely unbalanced, LH heavy lineup, especially in the OF. Mullins has established himself as a low .700 OPS guy at the plate, and will be walking at the end of the season. Might as well get something for him this offseason while making our roster more balanced.

      Adley's health this season

      By e16bball · Posted

      Pulling on that trusty but extremely confusing data/graphic that @Tony-OH was referencing earlier, we see the following swing rates for Adley in the various zones (2022 / 2023 / 2024): Heart: 67% / 66% / 63% Shadow: 47% / 47% / 51% Chase: 19% / 18% / 26% Waste: 3% / 3% / 3% The short answer is that he did swing at a lot more bad pitches this year than he had before. And at less good pitches. One could probably quibble about whether shadow pitches are entirely “bad,” but there’s no doubt that pitches in the chase zone are just bad pitches to try to hit.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      I love to watch a Staff NCO completely lose it on his crew when they underperform in a crucial scenario. It's a thing of beauty when you see a GySgt, a SFC or a chief petty officer just go off on his group. The language is colorful, the volume is peaked and the intimidation factor is at an alltime high. If you've never seen it before in person you just don't appreciate the impact.  I recall entering a squad bay as a young LT and seeing my HMC holding a young sailor about 4 inches off the ground by his neck.  The remaining members of the squad bay were standing at attention next to their racks. The Chief was "providing focused and explicit instruction," for the young seamen. The sailors all appeared to be paying absolute attention to the instruction while not uttering a single word. I apologized to them both for the interuption as I moved to the next squad bay.  As I left I made a mental note to myself to check the chief's footlocker for bodies.....

      Yeah, everyone's different.  I can understand why a bad back and a bad hand would make someone an ineffective hitter. But Adley's chase rate went from 81st percentile to 47th percentile on statcast.
