Renato Nunez wasn't making that stop at first, let alone a solid throw to the plate. They are hamstrung by having Davis on the roster, but bringing him in was the right call.

Yeah, at least make them throw it to the plate! The runner is going to get to second regardless at that point, you do nobody any favors drawing a rundown

I HATE watching this kind of baseball. Losing by horrific umpiring, missed throws and boneheaded plays.

If Davis made a good throw, if the ump didn't SCREW Mullins on two balls that were out of the zone by at least a foot apiece, if Mullins didn't pretend like there isn't a 3B coach, OR kept running, OR stopped at third, we would still have a chance.

It's like a plane crash. There's a "kill chain" -- a long series of events that all went wrong in a row to make it happen. How unlucky are we?

Error and bad base running is not going to win you many extra innings. 

But, when you play Chris Davis and Dwight Smith Jr. you get what you get. If the #Orioles were interested in winning neither would be on the roster.

Radio announcers need to do a better job describing things. He was not that clear on Davis throw Home either. Said it got by Severino but I don’t think he said it bounced.

Dwight Smith ignored the 3B coach, not Mullins.

Severino needs to catch Davis' throw,

I'd rather watch the 2019 O's and their total, abject ineptitude than a team that's good enough to make it close, but bad enough to remind me of when I played in Little League.

In general much of the sloppy type play is from the same players. Rio made mistake other day, it happens.

      Should have said .800 since his OPS is .813.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I feel like Basallo should be put under the same scrutiny.  How many of his HR have been against washed up non prospects.  Questionable whether he can even defensively handle catcher.  It's not just throwing base stealers out.  Basallo struggles to keep his OPS above .900 in AA when Holliday obliterated AA at the same age with an OPS over 1.000.  Basallo is far from untouchable.

      2023 15th Round Pick (#451): Qrey Lott - OF - (HS) Lowndes HS (GA)

      Small correction: Fabian received slot at pick 2b ($1,026,300)  https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/45160-2022-draft-tracker/. I believe the year the Red Sox picked him one ahead of the O's, the rumor was the O's were going to offer $3M. The Sox were offering slot, way less.   I concur w/ the rest.

      I’m not ready to concede that Mayo needs to be lifted for defense.

      Early Thoughts on the 2023 Draft Class - Hitters

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Bradfield -  C- .  Needs a big second half. Horvath - C.  Needs a good second half. Baumeister - C.  Walks are a big problem. Josenberger - C+.  For the 3rd round at least he’s interesting.   Levi Wells - D.  Showed glimpses but getting knocked around way too much. Matthew Etzel - A.  Couldn’t ask for much better from a 10th round pick. Good news -  He looks like the best player from this draft Bad news - He looks like the best player from this draft. The O’s went for speed and athletes so there’s still a chance some of these guys figure it out.  So far, not so good.   Interesting arms.

      That above scenario is the only reason I could see us keeping Urias right now. Would we want to lose a close playoff game because we pinch hit for Mateo to tie a game/get the lead, but lose the game because Mayo isn’t the defender Urias is.  We have options after we trade Urias, 1. Just simply have Holliday on the playoff roster. If Mateo is pinch hit for, then Holliday just comes in at 2B. 1-1 substitution keeping Westburg at 3B. 2. We make a small trade for a defensive wiz that can play 3B and stash him on our roster and make sure he’s playoff eligible.  Either way, this is a likely scenario in the playoffs, but it’s fixable. Get Mayo up here.

      Early Thoughts on the 2023 Draft Class - Hitters

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Etzel is carrying the class in terms of early production. He’s already in AA Bowie. He’s not a little guy either for a CF, which you would think with him being a 10th rd pick. He’s 6’2” 200.  EBJ I feel like is going to frustrate us because he might be the Jorge Mateo of CF.  Casual fans don’t like that, but our lineup is poised to carry a GG level CF with elite base stealing/base running.  I’ll lump Josenberger and Vasquez together at the moment. Both are guys with 30+ SB, but in that .670 OPS range in A+ Aberdeen. Again, just like EBJ, can they get that OPS up enough to be playable offensively. I do not know about their defense. Can Josenberger play CF  in pro ball?  How does Vasquez look at SS? Urman and Cunningham are struggling. Horvath hit just .199 in April and May.  He got off to a slow start and hit the IL for a bit. He’s really come on recently.     Thoughts?
