Catcher's fault all the way, but a reminder that the second-base tag play is something you don't really learn playing 3B and 1B.

I thought about that as I watched the play over, but it was so far off and behind him it wasn't Ruiz's fault at all.

It is a lot easier if the throw is within ten feet of second base though.

      Gold Glove Infield?

      I edited my comment to include Mountcastle’s defense in OAA and Runs Prevented compared to other first basemen, but to your question, yes, I think it is unlikely that we will have so many.

      He’s been an interesting case where he seems to get scorching hot for a month and then ice cold the rest of the season. He’s been a little less scorching and a little more steady thus far. I still expect him to go ice cold because that’s his career MO. But he’s filled in quite  nicely.

      There was one AB later in the game when he swung at a couple low and aways. You could see him admonish himself, but he did lay off of the next one. I don't care if he hits honers or not, just getting on base is a huge bonus.

      How flashy the other fielders are isn't relevant since he's not competing against them for the award. Unless of course you think they would not give him a GG since that would make too many Orioles getting one? He's going to be competing against other first basemen, none of whom are flashy.

      I think MC is going to get more competition from his teammates than from other first baseman, because it’s unlikely for all four to win.   However, I just checked, and defensively, Mountcastle is tied for 20th in first baseman OAA at -1( leader has 7) and 20th in runs prevented at 0( the leader has 5)

      I think you missed my point, which is that on the Orioles, if you make a list of the best defenders, regardless of how good Mountcastle is, others will always be ahead of him because the nature of their positions makes it easier for them to have a web gem.  When they’re handing out gold gloves, Westburg and Gunnar and AR are more likely to get attention. At first, a mistake will often be more memorable than a difficult pick, which is why I mentioned Mc’s gaffe.

      I'm glad for Mullins. They are a much better team when he's a part of the offense. Hopefully today was step one of getting the slump behind him.
