Do the decide the winner by which teams throws the fewest pitches?

Hopefully.
 

The Governor Elias has on the pitchers reminds me of the ones they had on the Humvees in Germany.

I ask you what is the point of being on the Autobahn if your vehicle maxes out at 55....downhill?

Worse thing that happened in that at bat to Mullins was the WP that move Bembroom into scoring position. Then you knew Mullins had no change. 4-for-48 w/RISP

The Orioles probably have him on a 65-70 pitch count the way they do things.

4-for-49 w/RISP after that Mountcastle K.

I smell another ineptitude record.

Are there any left that the Orioles don't hold since 2018?

You think his shoulder is going to flare up against this season?

I’m not sure how much longer I can take this RISPY business. Just get a damn hit when we need one. And start stringing them together. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

On the bright side the lack of hitting with RISP isn't because of the lack of talent on the team.  So it should improve at some point.

He had more pitches than I thought on OD, 84. Maybe he’s in the 90-100 range tonight.

Even the O’s talent isn’t 4-49. Gotta revert to the mean soon enough. But that’ll be when the pitching falls off.

It has so far every year.

That is the way things work here in Baltimore.

Exactly!

Means significantly improves my enjoyment of watching this team.

These guys aren't 4/49 bad.   Not even Odor.   None of the projection systems projected ANYONE on our roster to hit .080-something.  And the SABRheads say there is no such thing as clutch ability so players should hit about as well with RISP as without.
