Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. If he sees the ball properly, heck, if Shelby doesn't give him the old handshake, he makes it to 2nd easily.

For the record, Joe Angel agrees with BlueBerry on this one... he said DT ought to talk to the guys about that cause there's no reason for it.

Yeah, I heard Joe, but I think he's off base as well. I don't think Hernandez assumed the ball was going to be a HR. I think the angle made it look that way -- it obviously looked that way to Shelby as well.

Well then they're both wrong. If you can't see the damn ball then don't make an assumption, regardless of angle. Just run your ass off until you're 100% sure it's gone. That should be a rule of thumb.

The point is you can't assume it either way. Unless you see the ump give the signal, you run the damn ball out.

I'm trying to decide which base coach blunder was the worst so far this year. Shelby glad handing Ramon on that play or when Samuel was wheeling Jones around on a grounder to short.

Def Shelby shaking Ramon's hand. No excuse for him not paying attention IMO

    • They’ve added a handful of additional receivers in the UDFA class https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/rumor-mill-ravens-undrafed-free-agent-tracker-2024-nfl  
    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.
