I don’t know if this is the correct place to share this, so if not feel free to move it or I can delete it. I saw Tork’s HR a couple days ago and then saw this tweet: I have felt that Tea

That's fine.  Home run derby posing as an MLB game is getting old.

Of course nobody cared about the wall until it robbed the yankees of a home run.

What surprises me with 5 full games. Is how little of a factor the wall has been so far. It's almost like the players on both teams are actively avoiding hitting it that direction.

Edit: Now that I say that there will probably be three or four plays involving said wall in today's game.

Or maybe folks just overestimated how much impact there was going to be?

Mountcastle single in 8th 4/17/22 vs Yanks. Deeper positioning playing a role?

I think that kind of stuff will make this thread very annoying to keep track of. My brain would probably fry halfway into the season. Haha!

Good thought though.

I just happened to be on the board when this play happened. I can guarantee you I’m not going to be seeing them all.

Me either, I think this has to be a community effort. That being said, the O's did score all their runs with two out I believe. So it did play in the final outcome of the game. I'll see if I can get a replay of it. Anyone else want to chime in on this play?.

I believe the LF, Gallo, could have caught the ball as it happened.

I also believe he would certainly have caught it if he had been positioned a few feet closer to the IF, which almost certainly would have been the case w the old configurations.

The Mountcastle single is at 3:42 in this vid. That probably does get caught in 2021. I had my back turned stuffing my face with Easter dinner. Good on calling that one out Eddie!

So I guess it is Visitors-1 Orioles-1

That looked like a playable ball either way.

      John Smoltz on why pitchers are "breaking" and what we should do about it..

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      The same thing is happening in all sports.  What does travel ball and AAU have in common?  They just play games & they don't practice, they don't learn the proper mechanics, they don't learn fundamentals, and rarely practice at all it is just a group of kids that play games and tournaments.  That is whey the United States is falling behind in players being drafted in the NBA from the United States.   Both AAU you dont do those little things then you go to some tournament and play countless games in a short period and then a few weeks later you do the same thing.  Even in high school and college sports they are playing more and more games.  If you have to play more games that means you are practicing less and less.

      I'd rather increase the number of pitchers to spread innings around more and account for modern pitch counts.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I hear ya, but hear me… I know that mlb pipeline just did no major overhaul and has just slotted guys up based on graduations. I don’t follow the other lists daily so I would not be speaking accurately.  It’s July 2nd. The draft is two weeks away. Usually all the sources do a pretty big rerank once players sign and debut. So let’s wait 4-5 weeks until those overhauled lists come out. Our 3 guys shouldn’t have their eligibility exhausted unless an injury happens.  So we’ll see.  Heck, would might be not be eligible when the post draft lists come out in August. 130 ABs is the cutoff.

      Probably some combination of all the things that were leading to increased TJ before the pitch clock being taken even further and year to year variability.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By G54377 · Posted

      Holliday for Logan Webb would be cool. There's not really a reason for them specifcially to do that trade, but that's the kinda player (established #1 starter under contract for 3+ years) that I'd do it for.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By Gentile4 · Posted

      If the concern is that Scherzer might break down before the end of the season, then I'm not sure I see the logic in thinking the longer he pitches, the safer the deal becomes. I would think the more wear and tear on his body, the more likely that issues surface.

      And how did Joey work out? He was bouncing around 100 for a bit. I don’t think it’s quite respected enough yet and hopefully is by other teams now, the job that Elias and Sig have done to identify talent. They are hitting on all of their guys. All of them. So the return better have teeth because these guys will be playing on their team for awhile.    I could frankly care less what talent evaluators say and I could frankly care less about trading for Crochet. That dude is not an ace, hasn’t pitched major innings, could just end up in the bullpen and the pressure from national media is trade, trade, trade. When that happens, be wary.   No, I’d rather us keep our long term pieces in tact, go out and grab some DFA’d guys at the deadline and wait till the offseason for Rubenstein to unleash hell and re-sign Burnes, sign a couple of other relievers and grab a quality starter.   Keep the train moving. If anything, you’ll likely see Hays or Urias traded for some relief pitching depth and their presence on the team replaced with younger guys. At most you’ll see Norby traded as he doesn’t really have a spot once Holliday comes up.
