Mychal Givens will be charged with allowing an inherited runner to score and put his team behind tonight, but Manny should have caught that ball. He got turned around, and that's why he couldn't corral it. He struck out the next three hitters.

Pretty sure if Manny makes that over the shoulder the runner tags and the run still scores. The call did not cost us although it could have.

The call certainly cost us. Givens struck out the next three hitters. Presuming the same happens if that call isn't overturned, the O's are out of the inning unscathed.

Not saying we lost because of it, but it definitely did cost the O's a run.

That's an assumption just like the Umps made on saying he would have been safe at home. No certainty there as he was waiting to tag up. The ball was picked up pretty quickly. It also assumed 1st base runner would have been out at 2nd. So many assumption on that play for a ball not being caught.

If it is a foul ball Givens still has to get the out on a 3-2 count with the bases loaded and nobody out. Nothing is definite in that situation.

Of course nothing is definite, but I said "presuming the same happens." He struck out the side, hence no runs would have scored.

Let's recap.

Apparently it was Machado's fault that the run scored, and I guess the OP thinks it is unfair that Givens is charged with letting an inherited runner score.

But didn't Givens give up the hit that put a runner on third in the first place? If he hadn't done that and struck out the side, then Worley gets the blame for the O's losing.

People with agendas.

Oh yes some have agendas.

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Interesting. I had forgotten that they signed him and then got him in the pitching lab in the offseason. Since September is prior to the end of the season, I would take "two year contract" to mean September '23 is Year 1, and then '24 is Year 2.  That is a cool article. Very encouraging how closely they are following the KBO.

      I think most teams would want to have an MVP candidate at quarterback.   Most of the time this will mean that he is better than the guy they currently have.  That's why. My quote was not taking salary into account.  If you take his current salary into account I think you are still talking about a majority of the NFL teams that would take him right now.  If the salary is an issue you find a way to make it work.  I'm starting to come around to the idea that the salary cap is kinda fake in a way after I keep seeing teams do stuff like adding void years other trickery to get the guys they want.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.
