I had the same problem yesterday. 

I have this problem regularly when visiting OH on my Apple devices but it seems to happen when I'm on the wireless phone network.  I don't recall having the issue when I'm home on my Wi-Fi.  I don't have the issue on any of the other sites I frequent.

I would be tempted to send him to Norfolk after tonight. I expected him to dominate the Reds for seven or eight innings. I am extremely disappointed in him.

The Reds are one of the hottest teams in the league so far this year.  Of course it's really early, but it's still impressive they're in first place in the NL Central and second in the league in OPS.  Zach Cozart and Eugenio Suarez have been unstoppable.  They're just a hot team right now.

Does he even have an option? 

I don't believe he can be sent to Norfolk.

I know people don't want to hear this again but its so true that we have the worst RF's in baseball prolly.  All of this because DD would not sign Markakis.  Just think how we would not be on this merry-go-round of OF's if we had just paid the man.

Yeah, those two seasons of solidly below average play would have been a tremendous asset.

It happens to me on here and on Baseball Reference.  OH has been working fine for me today, though. 

Same for me as well.

I haven't been on the hangout much today but I have had zero issues today. 

Last night on my iPad I had some issues off and on. Yesterday on my phone it did not matter if it was wi-Fi or not, but today it has been fine on here.

Geeze, Markakis is a dead horse.

You know, he posted a .6 WAR last season for the Braves as their cleanup hitter.

Lol. One bad start. Oh well. Don't get why they didn't PH for him though.

This was pretty dumb on Buck's part.  Gausman was pretty pissed and tried to murder a high 3-1 pitch.  Grounded it to the MIF and then tried to leg out an infield single.  He landed on the bag awkwardly and hard.  It didn't come out to pitch the next inning.  Hope he's ok and Buck had an epiphany and yanked him out of the game for that reason.  

It was just one game and a bad start for Gausman, he'll be ok, But he showed a lot of immaturity by trying to leg out a grounder with his team down 9-1.  Be mature.  Cool your emotions.  Go out there and eat 1-2 more IP instead of trying to land on the DL for months.

Yesterday was a terrible game for Gausman, and in general, his fastball/change-up command has not been as sharp as it was last year.   Still, I'm not too concerned yet.     His first and third outings were pretty good; his second and fourth outings were not.    I agree with webbrick2010 that yesterday's might have looked a little better if the defense had helped him out.   Still, the main thing is he needs to throw more strikes.

Obviously he was batting out of position, anyone should be able to recognize that.  He is a leadoff man and knows how to take a pitch.  Dead horse or not I am pretty tired of two years of this platoon thing in the outfield.  The point truly is why don't we fix it?  Any good RF would have caught Votto's ball last night, its embarrassing.

I'm not going to get into a debate about Markakis -- I moved on a long time ago -- but the information posted about him is incorrect in two respects.    First, he was not worth 0.6 WAR -- he was worth 1.7 rWAR, 1.1 fWAR.   Second, he did not primarily bat cleanup; he played 45 games in that spot.

Sorry, your right, he was.6  for oWAR, not WAR.

Thanks for the correction.

I think Trumbo's offensive production, even taking away the defense miscues, makes him more productive than Nick at this point in time.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
