wow Weiters please hurry, Ramon can't even throw out Overbay a first baseman. I know some has to do with the pitchers, but he hasn't thrown anyone out in a while.

Can you see the game? Ramon had him by two steps but Rob missed the tag by two feet.

In all fairness to Ramon, BROB should have tagged him but he simply botched it. He assumed Overbay foot was going to slide into the base where BROB's glove was, but it was a smart play by Overbay to pull his leg up and go high and beat Roberts tag the bag.

That play there sums up this game for the Orioles.

the throw beat him to the bag but Roberts tagged the bag then forgot to actually tag Overbay and he slipped his foot in. Completely Roberts fault.

He didn't forget to tag Overbay, he put his glove down to make a sweep tag and Overbay didn't get there as fast as he expected. He was a little off balance from going up to get the high throw and may have thought he did tag him. He has had some trouble off and on with applying tags on SB attempts ever since his elbow injury. It may be fear of re-injuring that arm or worse yet (and I do think somewhat possible) he just doesn't have the same sensation in that hand that he did before all the muscle and nerve damage so he may be guessing as to whether or not his glove has actually touched the runner.

Cormier had the fake to thirs throw to first if he would have just thrown the ball to Millar. the guy at first was toast but Cormier decided to look back the runner at third for a second time. Would still be 3-0.

Roberts simply didn't leave his glove down like he was afraid he'd get spiked.

The guy on first wanted the rundown to set up a chance for the man on third to score.

But the replay showed that the guy at third had already started going back and the guy at first was hustling but was stuck. Hell throw it to Millar and get the guy going home. Versus holding the ball and get no shot at either runner.

Someone tell Jim Hunter to shut up about how great it is to watch the Blue Jays pitcher having a well pitched game. What an idiot!

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
