For the last few days I’ve been very sad about the end of baseball season. Not just because the team is terrible and there’s no October, and not just because it doesn’t seem like Mike has done anything meaningful to improve the team. Perhaps the organization, yes. Minor league depth, yes, wise trades…maybe. Improving the on-field product for the present and immediate future? Ummmm I’m not so sure.

But not even that.

Its because baseball will end and we will Move into the vast snowy wasteland that is “THE OFF-SEASON” 

I love baseball. All the teams in which I have an interest are failures yet again, but I still regret the end of the annual chapter.

I thought Cedric hit #30 there.  

He did they just didn’t call it. They should have walked out there and looked at the pole.  

 

It definitely looked like the ball deflected off the poll on replay.  I am still surprised how often NY seems to get the replay call incorrect.

    • You should totally sue them. What gall they have to kinda, sorta imply that their baseball replays are accurate to the tenths of a second when they might not actually be that. That's exactly what leads to distrust of all institutions, chaos, revolution, and then we're living in some kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape, boiling our own shoes for the meager nutrition in the leather.
    • I think I used elite a little too loosely. Still, not a ton of hitters do better than 1:2 over a full season.
    • Baumeister threw 4.2 scoreless innings last night, 2 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts.  He pounded the strike zone, throwing 49 strikes in 71 pitches.   In 14 innings spanning 4 outings, he’s got a 1.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 1.8 K/BB.  The walks have been high, 10 in 14 innings, but not crazy high for a guy just getting his feet wet.  Decent start for Baumeister. 
    • I always thought that if you weren't around 10:1 you weren't trying hard enough.
    • Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.
    • I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade. 
    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.
