Do you let Cobb pitch six innings in his first start back? His pitch count is low, and our bullpen isn't great. I think I would put him back out there, but it's a tough decision. Either way, it's a super encouraging start.

Fry up in the pen and after Devers leads off, 3 LH batters in the next 4.

He is watching on tv just like us, it is not a way to broadcast baseball.

They showed the sportscasters' booth in OPACY. The crew has access to about 3-4 extra angles that we don't have, in addition to the "production" stream that we see on TV. It's laid out on a bunch of large monitors in front of them. It's not too bad.

At some places like at Nats Stadium, they probably rely more on the monitors than they do their own eyes, because the booth is so high up that the players look like tiny ants down on the field. Worse than the 300 sections at OPACY.

They'll figure out which monitors to look at, when, and be in good shape. The thing I'm more annoyed with is the MASN stream intern who can't keep the count and number of outs straight. It's like the MLB Gameday App intern who's usually several hitters behind and with a ~20% error rate on balls and strikes is now working for MASN.

5 1/3, 1 run isn't bad these days. In the 60s it would've been embarrassing, but with the reduced stamina and harder velo of today's pitchers, and the elevated home run numbers from moving the fences in, it's a pretty typical, pretty decent outing. Especially this early in a season.

Best start of the year....

    • I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.
    • Now run scores and Yanks take lead. 
    • Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call. 
    • Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...
    • First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.
    • Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.
    • If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
