I'm not promising to update this on a daily basis so if anyone wants to contribute, go right ahead.

This is the kind of game where Umpire Scorecards really drops the ball. You have an umpire who clearly can't see pitches below the zone calling a game where one of the pitchers is a sinkerballer who l

Looks like we got the breaks, but didn’t do anything with them.  

Also looked like our pitchers were locating everything in very hittable zones when we needed pitcher's pitches instead.  Too many pitches in the middle of the plate without much break doesn't show up on these scorecards.  Kremer was getting squared up pretty hard from the get-go.......very Austin Voth-like.

I tried to find this morning because the Red Sox wouldn't shut up about ball/strikes yesterday.   Several close pitches, but most seemed near the line on the TV generated box.   Does this usually take a day to post new game data?

They usually get posted on Twitter around 11am the next day.

I was curious too but couldn't find it.

Cora couldn't STFU in one case because, IIRC, the catcher set up low and away and their pitcher missed completely diagonal across the zone.  The pitch still hit the frame but with the way the catcher reacted, Cora went ballistic because it HAD to be a ball.

IMO, there's no way to tell from the dugout whether a pitch is inside or outside.  High/low? Sure, I can buy that.  But from the dugout perspective I don't think they can tell if a pitch hit a corner.

Anyway, all of that is to say Cora is awful and I hope the umpire scorecard this morning is an A+.

Sometimes I wonder how accurate the box is on tv.  The umpire on Sunday looked atrocious.

I think the top of the box is often lower than the actual strike zone.  The top of the box is often shown just barely above the belt, but the rule says the top of the zone is the midpoint betweeen the top of the pants and the top of the shoulders.  So, when you see pitches above the box called strikes, often they really are strikes.

It’s usually posted in the afternoon some time on the day after the game.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      By SteveA · Posted

      So what do the Rays do?   Spend a lot of money fixing the roof for the few remaining years that ballpark has left?   Or do like the A's and play in a minor league facility until their new ballpark is built? I wonder if they could work out something with the Yankees to play in Steinbrenner Field.   It is in Tampa and one of the nicer spring training facilities on the Gulf Coast.   The Rays train in Port Charlotte which is (50???) miles south and I don't think the facility is nearly as good.   Steinbrenner FIeld seats over 10K, has luxury boxes, and a very accessible location for Tampa area fans.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Javy Baez has been on 5 playoff teams including a World Series winner and an LCS team.  128 postseason plate appearances. Mark Canha has been on 5 playoff teams and has 54 postseason plate appearances. Gio Urshela has been on 4 playoff teams and in an LCS and has 88 postseason plate appearances. Those 3 guys may not be big postseason contributors right now but that doesn't mean they aren't providing some amount of leadership by example.   They did have 1000 PAs among them this year for the Tigers.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Of course the question asked in that article doesn't really directly answer what a lot of people are talking about. No one is saying we want to have a roster full of guys with experience. But some have suggested that have a team almost completely devoid of guys who have had postseason success, might lead to a bunch of young players who lack role models and mentors and leaders who can help them the first time they face the pressure of the postseason, which really is a totally different animal than the 162 game regular season grind. Anecdotally, there are many guys from the 1966 Orioles (which was a pretty young team) who talked about how Frank came in and "taught us how to win". Anecdotally, back in the days of the "Oriole way", players talked about coming into the organization and learning from veterans how to conduct yourself and how to play the game the right way.   It's hard to have that when you have a total gutting/rebuild of a franchise.    Anecdotally, in the book Astroball, which I read quite a few years ago but I think I remember this part, they talked about the front office coming to the realization that they needed to bring in some veteran leadership, and specifically targeting Carlos Beltran for that reason. Maybe the anecdotes are BS.   Maybe guys just make up narratives after something is successful.   But these ARE human beings, not just a sequence of stats and numbers.   It makes sense that, especially with young players who have never dealt with failure much, the pressure of the postseason could become an isssue and it might be nice to have some wise old heads to lean on. We have a core of young players who have basically been eagerly awaited by fans, told that they are the basis of the next winning franchise, and greeted with adulation.   They came into a team that had minimal veteran leadership and no postseason experience.   They are managed by a manager who has been a coach on winning teams but has never managed in the postseason before.   They have hitting coaches who were hired because of their ability to promote a hitting philosophy and modern coaching techniques that the organization believes are optimal, but who have never coached major league players before in any capacity. Our core players are trying to figure out how to be major leaguers with far less guidance than people who have been there, than perhaps any group of young players ever.   They may be getting excellent instruction and swing analysis and data that will help them hit better, but they have no one who has been through the mental and physical and emotional  tribulations of being a young player in the majors and triumphed, to serve as an example as they try to grown into superstars and champions. In previous seasons, before "liftoff", we brought in guys like Frazier and Chirinos specifically to serve as veteran role modeals, and were able to do so because all the MLB pieces weren't in place yet and there were roster spots available.   Now those spots aren't available, and if we bring in someone for veteranosity they are also going to have to be good enough to play on a championship team.   Harder to find those guys of course.   But I wouldn't dismiss the need altogether.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It sounds like it was bad but perhaps not as bad as they thought it would be.
