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

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
