What a strange thing to be really mad about.

What annoyed me was after they goofed around with the outs for two innings, halting one inning when the O's had men on 1st and 2nd and one out, and then giving us 4 outs the next inning -- Joe Girardi asked fora  replay review in the next inning when a Philly was called out at first on an obvious bad call.  l mean, come on Joe.   It's an obvious meaningless game where you are screwing around with the rules all over the place, but God forbid you allow a bad call to stand without slowing down the game for a replay.

Also, don’t forget, Wynns, Urias, and Valdez are the ones that can be DFA’ed if they need room in the 40. They are currently at 39. JMO.

I dont seen them being able to add anybody, some teams have a bigger need, with those testing postive and those opting out.

That's Joe.  Be happy he didn't make three pitching changes that inning.

Maybe a personal beef with the umpire. These guys have a reason for everything.

Didn’t want his pitchers pitch count to increase.

It's Girardi. I'm just surprised he wasn't playing matchups with his bullpen late in the game.

What you may not understand is that Girardi is way, way smarter than anyone else in baseball. Just ask him.

He's modest about it, too. His superiority complex  shows through only once every five minutes or so.

This society has gone down the slippery slope so far that you cannot even believe  a ST box score.  That goes right along with not trusting the News,  or Advertising, or Politics,  or Businesses,  or most anything.  The point is not that this one  is a trivial thing,  but that it happened at all.  Lying so permeates this society so much that you almost have to stop taking in  data to your brain for fear that it is Spam.  And never repeat it,  or it is likely you have been made a liar.  This has gotten to the point where it is no longer funny, if it ever was, because a society cannot function anywhere near efficiently with endless Spam.  i

    • I thought of it but decided the FCL thread was more relevant. But your more than welcome to.
    • Remember Komi Uehera?  Great splitter. The problem was you have to throw the fastball to set it up. He had an average fastball. The Red Sox did ride him to a WS though. 
    • July 1: Chayce McDermott, 7 IP, 12 K’s July 4: Yeiber Cartaya, 4 IP, 10 K’s.   It’s possible I’ve missed one or two so far.    
    • He is such an interesting case. Obviously the extraordinarily late “breakout” age, but you also just almost never see a true one-pitch pitcher in today’s game. Aside from the splitter, he has no ML-quality pitches. The 4-seam fastball is mediocre at best in velocity for a reliever (94.6 MPH), it’s on the straighter side, and it gets tagged to the tune of a .405 wOBA (with a .400 xWOBA to match). It’s a bottom-tier 4-seamer.  And then he throws a cutter 27% of the time. A cutter which is so bad that I can only imagine Palmer would have a coronary watching him continue to throw it. It is arguably the worst pitch in baseball this season, and over the course of his two ML seasons, hitters are posting a .486 wOBA against it. What’s most shocking is that StatCast suggests he’s been lucky to get that outcome, with a staggering .511 xWOBA on two seasons worth of cutters.    Ah, but then you have that splitter. The gift from God. And it really is, to be honest. This is a dude who would be working some every day job like the rest of us if he didn’t somehow master that splitter. But he did, and now he’s making bank playing a game. So far this season, 81 PAs ending on a splitter. Opponents have 4 hits against it (.056 BA). All those hits have been singles. 53 of those PAs ended with the hitter slinking back to the dugout (a cool 65.1% K rate), and it carries a 58.1% whiff rate. The average EV against the splitter this year is 76.7 MPH. The two-year wOBA on the splitter is .133, with a .137 xWOBA to match. Those are goofy numbers. Those are the numbers my 5-year-old nephew will put up against my best wiffleball arsenal this afternoon.    In sum, really interesting guy. Only having one effective pitch concerns me — on the days when the splitter is not splitting, he’s useless. The splitter has gotten more effective this year, not less, so that does assuage some of my concerns about the league eventually getting the book on him and spitting on the splitter in order to wait for a chance to pulverize the other junk he tosses. But is he a guy you can run out 4-5 times against the same elite hitters in a short span in October? It just seems like they’d have to get a solid feel for him after seeing a few times back to back. But if all it would cost is someone like Billy Cook, there’s really no harm done in finding out. 
    • Hopefully it extends Adleys longevity as well.  
    • Raylin Ramos returned to action today.
    • Fred Biletnikoff!  King of Stick.  Lol.  The refs hated him because every time he touched the ball it got the gook all over it and then the refs got it all over themselves.  Lol  And I agree that it should be allowed in a modest way in MLB. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so. What year was it before they started checking Pitchers after every half inning for sticky substances?  There was a year where it was pretty clear that pitchers were using something... tacki-goo?  I forget what year that was.  Were arm injuries up that year?  It might sway me a little if they were, but otherwise I don't think the the firmness of the grip is indicative of the spin.  The firmness of the grip is the control of the ball itself.  A harder grip would diminish spin.  Think of it as "english" in tennis.  The racquet glances the ball, but its the speed of the racquet that determines the spin.
