Please help me understand why we continue to pitch to the guys who mash us?

I'd walk them when their SLG against us is over 1.000.

Ha!  I get more annoyed at the big differential guys (where they seem to hit us much better than the rest of the league.).  Grichuk has a .718 SLG against us....but for his career, it is .468.  That is a 250 point spread.  Insane.  The JD Martinez spread is 186 (.520 career vs. .706 against Os). Whereas the Mike Trout spread is only 23 (career SLG of .585....but .608 against us.), which is much more reasonable.  And the real spreads are actually a little bigger because their career numbers include their work against the Os. You would have to strip the Os numbers out to reflect a real comparison of Damage to Os versus Damage to the rest of the major leagues.

The Bichette spread is currently at 102 (Career .490, against Os .592), and that has obviously risen over the last few days.

I do believe Hyde has a times been a little stubborn with this and shown a refusal to walk guys even in pretty obvious situations.  I'm sure it's an organizational philosophy that they kind of need to re-think.  That said, obviously the situation has a lot to do with it.  And a lot of times these guys kill us because we make really bad pitches.

The O’s are tied for fewest intentional walks in the AL, with 6.   The other team?  Houston.   Hmmmm…

Of course, many pitch-arounds don’t show up as intentional walks.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
