It’s hard to imagine how a human can play the OF as poorly as Smiths does. Perhaps he suffers from vertigo.

 

 

Hicks made a bad play in the outfield for the Yankees so for once it wasn’t just us making boneheaded plays,

I think defense is going to be extra important this year, so I hope everyone will chime in here on a regular basis. Game 1, March 28 I didn’t see today’s game, but the O’s turned three doubl

I heard him call it early also on the MASN feed and it appeared to be wind-blown.  I have seen the great Matt Wieters drop his share of popups so both Jesus' have flaws (who knew?).  ?  PTL

Yes.  Fans also don't do the mental calculations for run values.  It takes some multiple of bloops falling in to add up to the value of a single ball getting over the outfielder's head. In an ave

If anyone was that lazy chasing a ball on my wiffle ball squad they’d be writing sentences every day for an hour.

Hi. I missed the game but after seeing the highlights wonder whether the second out on Santander's throw of the outfield was contested. Mancini lays out completely on the ground to catch the ball and it seemed debatable to me (didn't have a close-up though) whether he was foot was still on the bag when he caught it. His foot definitely comes off at a certain point and when he touches the bag again it's after the runner's back. Thanks.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2024

      I like Mounty, and do think there’s a decent chance this will be his best season so far.  But I don’t take a lot of comfort from sewing together two partial seasons at points that began and ended with hot streaks, and ignoring his history of streakiness.  He will have to prove that he can minimize the length and severity of his cold streaks, and for me he can only prove it over the full 162 game season.  He’s already had a stretch of 29 games at .657 this year but has been hot enough before and after to make up for it.  Hopefully he’ll continue that trend, but we’ll see.

      I love Burnes but wouldn't want to pay what it takes. We still have Ortiz/Hall level prospects we can trade for the next Burnes. Remember we get a comp pick when he walks.

      He's not going to be realistically in range for us.  It's going to take an overpay to keep him here, and we should have other options heading into the off season.  Hard pass for me.

      O's need a loonng start from Irvin today!

      By rm5678 · Posted

      Roch just posted the starters for the Jays series: Rodriguez, Burnes, TBA, & TBA. 3rd game Wednesday would be normal rest for Povich, so I think there's a chance they'll be calling him up to start that game.

      I think you are on to something here, over the last calendar year Mounty has put up a slash line of .302/.363/.485 in 438 PAs...that's a long of stretch of strong offensive performance.  I'm glad he's on our team and hope he can keep it going.

      Looks like he’s getting ready to go on one of his insane heaters. Couldn’t come at a better time, but enjoy it while it lasts.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I’m open to the idea IF the Orioles & Jorge Lopez reached an agreement, then let him take Vieira’s spot  1) Lopez’s son hospitalization caused him lots of stress  2) change of scenery from Mets losing culture to Orioles winning one could help him  3) Lopez had two stints with Orioles in which he pitched well and had no issues with coaches, teammates & fans  what do you guys think ?
