Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob. The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO. I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot. Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that, and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock. -
Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing. -
The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed. Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still... -

Should probably move this to the minors section. I don't see him in the majors again this season. -

I think this is spot on. These guys have played baseball their entire life, they know what needs to be done to get the guy in. It sound like the team slumping has but pressure on all members of the team. A pitcher going out there saying "I need to give up 3 or fewer runs to have a chance to win" is tough. A bullpen arm saying "I can't make a mistake at all because our offense is struggling". I think these guys need to relax and stop pressing. How do you convince players to play loose? -
I am shocked how much I have distanced my attention from the Orioles the last two months. This losing and being helpless to stop the skidding has sapped all my desire to be a fan. We seem destined to lose fast in the playoffs.
