Wrong Bet(ts)

[Camden_yardbird]

Just don't pitch to him. 8 HR v. Orioles this year. Bad game management. I can't remember another player who owned the Orioles this much.

Certainly don't give any more fastballs on the first pitch. It seemed like Gallardo and Brach were so focused on Ortiz that they didn't approach Betts very cautiously.

Buck will intentionally walk Bonds with the bases loaded, but can't find a way to pitch around this guy. Makes me wonder what the game plan was vs. him.

Hit a curveball against Gallardo.

I don't think that's correct. Pretty sure it was a cutter right down the middle.

Roch had this quote from Wieters:

“I think the first homer was a slider that went middle-middle,” Wieters said. “And just kind of went down as opposed to across for Yovani. The one off Brad, he hit off the end (of his bat). I think he might have broken his bat, but it was supposed to be in and it ended up kind of down and away.

From MASN

"While he has seven homers in his last 16 at-bats at Camden Yards, Betts has hit just two homers in 139 at-bats this entire season against the rest of the AL East."

OMG that's INSANE I don't think any other player in all of MLB owns another team like that!!

Yeah just walk the guy if you can't get him out.

Mookie Betts does not have a magic bat that only hits homers against the Orioles. It's sheer chance that things have worked out so well for him in Baltimore. One of the funny quirks of the game.

Anyone remember the year Tony Batista hit 12 homers off the O's with a balanced schedule?

Edit:He hit 9 hrs vs. the O's in 13 games in 2000. Betts has 8 hrs against the O's this year in 11 games. So he has a chance to beat Batista.

Didn't Davis hit a ton of his homers against the Jays in like 2013?

Davis was really consistent that year vs. the AL East. He hit 7 hrs against the Jays, Yanks, and Sox that year while hitting 6 against the Rays.

In 2012 he hit 9 hrs vs. the Jays in 17 games.

I don't think its sheer chance. I think its bad pitching.

[sportsfan8703]

Well we actually have our one starting pitcher that can pitch inside and make hitters uncomfortable pitching tonight.

The book is out on our pitching staff and the game calling. The AL East hitters are comfortable. They know it's never coming in unless it's a mistake.

Luke Scott had a ridiculous run against the Tigers. He still has a 1207 OPS against them.
