Just a totally embarrassing swing by Mountcastle. I'm about done with him as part of the future. He just doesn't have the plate discipline and Hyde is doing no one any favors by batting him 4th.

We don't call people an idiot that we disagree with here.

Palmer is pissed.  "All that time discussing what to throw and you pick your worst pitch, that cutter? You read the batter. You just threw that cutter for a double then you throw it again for this run

Trouble getting my MLB-TV (with VPN) connected today. Thanks to whomever suggested that alternate streaming site that rhymes with screambeast. After some false starts, found the feed  there. @justD, have you had trouble getting MLB-TV working this week? I tried all the usual solutions, but had no luck until I switched computers. I got last night's game to  work on our bedroom TV. But I prefer to watch the games in my den.

Didn't have any trouble this week, wasn't around last night but today is working. 

Never have gotten that screambeast site to work for me.

He’s definitely thrown a lot of pitches. 

Throw this guy some high cheese and he’s gone. He’s diving all over the plate.

Dusty has a reputation for overworking pitchers but the Astros are so far up that protecting his ace for the playoffs is definitely the priority over winning this game.

Is Chirinos really that much of an old man that he can’t make it third on THAT?  Dude didn’t even throw it to the cutoff man, just go!

It was pretty deep and he should have gone, but there’s no excuse for Mullins running up his back.

Sometimes MLB.TV is a little wonky for me but I haven’t missed a game all year. 

If anyone is watching on a FireTV stick for example, I frequently had to shut down the VPN, force close MLB app and clear the app cache, then start over. Luckily I switch to DirecTV Stream so I just have MASN now anyway.

Mine works when I switch my location to Italy. Sometimes you might need to set it up so that it automatically connects to that location on Startup and then restart your system

I always select Manchester UK. It's worked for all but 3 games this year. I may try Italy on tomorrow's game. I think I may try it on the bedroom set-up first to test it. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      This.  Baseball is a game of failure, but my goodness these guys went above and beyond in that department. Productive outs shouldn't be that hard.  Watch Witt in the first inning of Game 2.  And while the two playoff games perfectly told the story of the 2024 Orioles offense, I am hopeful that national stage embarrassment provides a real learning experience and motivation for fixing what is wrong with them.  As much as I am sure it hurts to watch your own hand being broken, Cowser should be watching that AB every single day from now until next October. Same thing with Adley channeling his inner Chris Davis and staring at that 2-0 meatball like he has never seen a major league pitch before.

      Could fit the profile Elias likes of veteran free agents who might be willing to sign for few years at higher AAV's. I love the splitter. I'd be interested. Free agent means no posting fee, correct? Not that it matters.

      All the talk about facing LH pitchers and needing RH bats to match up - I think it’s a bit overblown. Our approach was terrible and our guys failed to play team baseball just as much against RHP w/ platoon advantage. Guys just consistently failed to do their job.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I agree on both parts here. I’ve been reflecting on my love for baseball. Even the postseason helped me realize I enjoy the slow burn of the regular season.  I also am far away from MD and for me Baltimore is part of my cultural roots (both parents from the area). So in some sort of way, like you said, maybe there’s a healthy separation and more tolerance for failure. Maybe even nostalgia, lol. But I’ll take it.

      I don’t live in Maryland either, but I still have family that are there and most of them are more into the Ravens, yet they send me O’s stuff all the time — which really isn’t a great pulse for O’s fan expectations. I think from the time I lived there until now (which is a few decades), Baltimore is definitely more of a football town. Maybe my family does reflect the times? As for OH and representation, that’s a fascinating question. To me, the OH feels like the place is generally a group of the hardcore of the hardcore baseball fans, with some part timers mixed in. The differences tend to break on personality types (cynics, optimists, realists — and a handful of comedians). If Elias only tweaks a couple things and doesn’t make any fundamental changes (like maybe drafting more pitchers) or pretending nothing can be done about RISP — then any glow about the rebuild will truly fade, at least in my house.

      The lack of velocity will be issue I think in majors at his age but the secondary pitches must be very good.  It is interesting that in Japan the splitter is like the cutter/sweeper is in MLB.  It seems Asian league goes more for the up and down movement while MLB pitching strategy is the lateral movement of pitches.
