Tuesday, April 26: Orioles at Yankees, weather permitting

[wildcard]

Adley with a double

Good Lord can we close out this Odpr experiment?

[Tony-OH]

BTW, how dead are the balls?

Stanton hit the ball 107.5 MPH at a 32 degree launch angle and it went only 388 ft for a flyout. The xBA on that was .950. Tha ball never even made the warning track.

Experiment implies that we didn’t know what was gonna happen.

How does that happen?  Is the ball less aerodynamic?  It seems exit velocities haven't really dropped.  But the ball is going less far.

Severino is going to throw a perfect game tonight.

Exactly.

Adely throwing error on a steal

[ArtVanDelay]

Yankees fans might throw trash on the field if Lyles throws to 1st again.

MLB has a monstrous allowable variance in the balls. 

[O's84]

Walk the #9 hitter Lyles, way to go.

Are teams even going to let their 4th and 5th starters throw 100 pitches anymore.  I wouldn't be surprised if more teams are pulling below average starters before 5 innings even when they have pitched well.  Seems like there will be an increased need for multiple inning relievers.

Hopefully.
