No, I think the face planting was the play where Jones dropped the ball in the alley.

I did not see the play live, but on the replay I saw, the Toronto announcers were suggesting that the runner should have been awarded home plate because he was almost all the way to third when Trumbo fumbled the ball into the stands.    

My bad, got the plays confused. Still awful, but yes, Trumbo gave up the run when he lost the ball as much as the error. It was scored a double and an error on the exchange for what it's worth. I posted the video above.

No problem.   The additional mistake on the face planting play was after Jones dropped the ball, threw it in relay to Schoop who promptly fired it HOME for absolutely no apparent reason.  Had he thrown it to third, he likely gets the guy who was still short of third base and had to crawl to it just before Castillo threw it to Manny.

He looks worse to me, a lot of balls I feel like a good center fielder gets to that he doesn't. He just looks slow. The new sprint speed metrics are confirming that he just doesn't run as well as most center fielders.

It's tough when you see things that need to happen like moving Jones to RF well ahead of time, and you know there's nothing you can do about it.

Unfortunately,  Jonesy's best play was in the World Baseball Tournament in the spring.    Which is another point that aggravates me a little bit about now the "banged up" deal...he should have not been out there going full tilt in March.  

I don't really think he's be any less banged up, but that's me.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
