Orioles vs. Pirates, March 22, 2022 (MLB.tv-1:05pm Free game of the day)

[Tony-OH]

Everything about the bottom of the 4th inning is what makes it hard to be an Orioles fan. Your top starter can't finish off three innings, one of your top prospects makes a bonehead call and then drops the ball. Took about 900 hours to get through that half an inning.

Sedlock's changeup looked pretty good but his velocity was around 91 and his slider still is below average.

Don't care for the interview format over the play by play especially when we have to look at the announcers and the guest and can't even see the game action.

[OldNewGuy]

A weak play at second by Jones.

Jones let's potential dp ball slip out of his grip on the transfer. Then makes a marginal throw to first on the next ground ball and the runner is safe and E4.

[Il BuonO]

Kremer looked decent. No movement on the FB and the one CH I saw him throw, though he did get a swing and miss.

Gillaspie trying to nail down the save and give the Orioles their first victory of 2022.

I'm on pins and needles here at work!

Win column!

Didn’t they win yesterday as well?

Posted in the Stowers thread on the main forum as well, but finally Statcast measurements of today's action.

Poking around Statcast stuff, did Gutierrez got robbed in the 3rd inning?

xBA .880 on 27-degree Launch Angle and 103.5 EV resulted in a "Flyout"

Means on Final Four pitches 41-44 to Yoshi Tsutsugo threw all sliders limping towards his finish to the day, probably just vanilla Left-on-Left attack plan.

90.3-93.2 on his Four Seam Fastballs this afternoon.

Oops, you're right.

We have a WINNING STREAK!

Have I missed something or has Santander only DH'd? Is this some strategy? An undisclosed injury? Just a random blip of spring training? It just seems odd, all our other OFers and Mancini have all played the field
