Might have been the most ridiculous play  I’ve seen since Jack Cust ran the bases.   Of course, Stewart getting bonked on the head while sliding to catch a line drive might be a close third.  

Hey Froberto Clemente, watch the game tonite?  Wanna update your most ridiculous play rankings?

Game 23, April 27 The Orioles played some excellent defense despite losing 5-1. - Maikel Franco made a diving stop of a short-hop liner, then threw a strike to 1B from his knees to get the o

Hays just made a great throw from LF to home on a single.  The runner scored, but the LA announcers raved about the throw- apparently it came in at 94 mph and accurate; and Hays' arm in general- 4 OF

Severino really has no clue how to do anything. 
 

No play at the plate = COVER THIRD SO THEY CAN’T ADVANCE IN A RUN DOWN LIKE THAT!

That’s the second time this season he has failed to cover a base. He can’t do any of the 3 things in “fundamental.”

”Fun” - He is not fun to watch

”Da” - He is not a defensive asset

”Mental” - He needs to pull his head out of his

I missed it, but when I got in my car the announcer was saying, “that’s a play that simply cannot happen on a Major League Baseball field.”  Still haven’t seen what happened.

Must not have been the Orioles announcers.  For them it's just a Wednesday.

Severino was actually going over to back up first as the run down was between first and second.  The pitcher, who was not involved in the rundown, should have been covering third.

This video has a good overhead look.  https://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=31647796

Galvis does a poor job of giving the ball up too early.  Franco didn’t get to second in time, though there really isn’t too much he could do about that.

Actually, in a rundown, you should follow your throw so Mancini should have been going to second while Galvis was chasing Ramirez back to first. He instead went to first creating the hole at second.

Holy crap, there is video evidence of Sevie actually running!

Valaika looked like he was close enough to tag him on the sprint to second.

A huge part of yesterday’s meltdown was Anthony Santander’s poor play on Bichette’s pop fly with two outs, bases loaded in the 9th.   He got a late break, didn’t begin running full speed on the play, and still got his glove on the ball but didn’t catch it.   Just a bad defensive play by him and it cost us the ballgame.

Ryan Mountcastle missed at least two balls (could be more that didn't make the highlights) that a decent OF'er catches.

Mountcastle and Stewart should never play in a ML outfield. I don't care who they have to call up to find someone that can catch and throw, and I don't care if that person hits .100 but  no more Mountcastle or Stewart.

Really?

The second Ryan isnt playing and on the bench.

You will start a thread, yelling at Hyde for not playing their best prospect and having his bat in the lineup.

You cant have it both ways.

His ankle probably didn’t help.

If he can’t hit and is a detriment in the field, you need to put him on the IL.

Im Not sure if they just don’t feel it can get better with rest or they are hoping he gets his trade value up (he’s showing why he should have been dealt in the offseason) but he shouldn’t be out there.  He is helping nothing right now.

and yet he made the last out of the game? I guess that was some secret Ryan Mountcastle imposter who plays a really bad LF just like Ryan Mountcastle

His bat should be in the lineup as the DH/1B every game, never in the OF

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Could fit the profile Elias likes of veteran free agents who might be willing to sign for few years at higher AAV's. I love the splitter. I'd be interested. Free agent means no posting fee, correct? Not that it matters.

      Elias: It's on me

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      All the talk about facing LH pitchers and needing RH bats to match up - I think it’s a bit overblown. Our approach was terrible and our guys failed to play team baseball just as much against RHP w/ platoon advantage. Guys just consistently failed to do their job.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I agree on both parts here. I’ve been reflecting on my love for baseball. Even the postseason helped me realize I enjoy the slow burn of the regular season.  I also am far away from MD and for me Baltimore is part of my cultural roots (both parents from the area). So in some sort of way, like you said, maybe there’s a healthy separation and more tolerance for failure. Maybe even nostalgia, lol. But I’ll take it.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I don’t live in Maryland either, but I still have family that are there and most of them are more into the Ravens, yet they send me O’s stuff all the time — which really isn’t a great pulse for O’s fan expectations. I think from the time I lived there until now (which is a few decades), Baltimore is definitely more of a football town. Maybe my family does reflect the times? As for OH and representation, that’s a fascinating question. To me, the OH feels like the place is generally a group of the hardcore of the hardcore baseball fans, with some part timers mixed in. The differences tend to break on personality types (cynics, optimists, realists — and a handful of comedians). If Elias only tweaks a couple things and doesn’t make any fundamental changes (like maybe drafting more pitchers) or pretending nothing can be done about RISP — then any glow about the rebuild will truly fade, at least in my house.

      The lack of velocity will be issue I think in majors at his age but the secondary pitches must be very good.  It is interesting that in Japan the splitter is like the cutter/sweeper is in MLB.  It seems Asian league goes more for the up and down movement while MLB pitching strategy is the lateral movement of pitches.

      They could let Suarez and Pederson walk who have team options to free up money or try and move Montgomery and get part of his salary off there books but I do think they will look at adding a less expensive option.
