I saw Jordan Westburg got plunked today and thought to myself that he seems to get hit quite frequently.   Sure enough, he’s been hit 13 times in 71 games.  

Tony has mentioned how often Brett Cumberland gets hit.   He’s up to 26 plunkings in 59 games.   

Adam Hall is another guy I’ve noticed has a history of taking one for the team.  In his case, 13 HBP in 61 games.   

I hadn’t previously noticed, but looking it up, Hudson Haskins has been plunked 16 times in 67 games, Andrew Martinez 11 times in 57 games.  

Overall, Delmarva leads our affiliates with 72 HBP, followed by Aberdeen 70, Norfolk 48, Bowie 45.   By comparison, our pitchers don’t hit opponents nearly as often: Delmarva 41, Aberdeen 35, Bowie 34 and Norfolk 22.   Cumberland by himself has been hit by more pitches than all the Tides’ opponents combined!

It makes me wonder if the O’s are teaching their hitters to crowd the plate and not get out of the way.  Delmarva and Aberdeen lead their respective leagues in this category and are considerably above league average.

Getting hit by the pitch is literally Cumberland's greatest skill at the plate besides popping a home run every once in awhile. He does crowd the plate and he does not move. He once got plunked 41 times in a season between two teams when he was in Atlanta's organization so this is not new.

Craig Biggio (285) is second on the All-time list behind some guy named Hughie Jennings (287), but I remember a guy named Ron Hunt, second baseman for the Expos, probably because I had his card. 

Frank Robinson is number nine on the list.

Played for the Orioles.

I was watching an Oakland A's game earlier this year and Mark Canha was hit by a pitch to set the club record, I believe.  He trotted to first base and made the motion that he wanted the baseball.  I got a good chuckle out of that.

He’s a whiny jerk. Gets hit a lot and I’ve seen him have a reaction like it’s because the pitcher is throwing at him. He started barking at Suzuki one time who was defending Ohtani. Ohtani! Not only was it ridiculous because of the game situation, Ohtani is maybe the least likely guy to be throwing at anyone.

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      By Frobby · Posted

      Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.

      Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding.

      So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs.
