Is their way of saying "true strikes" and "true balls" a way for them to give the ump an out?  If a pitch is on the corner and just brushes the box, is that labeled a "true strike" or "true ball"?  The wording seems a little up to interpretation to me.  All 5 "missed pitches" were completely inside the box or completely outside of the box.

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

So 5 missed calls and at least 2 against the Orioles listed in the graphic.  Boston whine several innings, had an ejection and kept going.  Seems like I was right that they weren't justified.  

I don't know how consistent these are, but it does match with my eye test, not that that isn't biased.  Haha

Edit: either way I feel like this is something the Sox have whined about over the years and gotten better calls over time.  I'm glad yesterdays whining didn't amount to much.

Doesn't the scorecad say that the calls favored the Orioles by .58 runs?    That's sounds pretty biased towards the Orioles which of course is just luck.

Seemed like a lot of strikes outside of the TV box so I thought I'd check the score, and sure enough, the HP umpire was below average but at least it was in the O's favor overall. The Coulombe call was huge. The difference between loaded bases and one out and 1st and 2nd and two outs.

Glad to see the Orioles getting calls in our favor.  

I've been on this site for a long time, I've seen a lot of kvetching over the years about calls not going our way as if we were some team that was loathed nationally and there was a conspiracy against us.  So,something the other way is nice to see.

As I noted in the game thread before the game even started, when I saw he was the ump, Doug Eddings is a longtime, veteran umpire whose reputation for years is that he has the biggest strike zone of all the MLB umps.

If I remember correctly the batter before Coulombe should have struck out but the ump missed a strike three on a down and in pitch and next pitch the batter singled to left.  I guess the two missed calls evened out.

You're right. The 1-2 sweeper on Zack Short was called a ball but was a strike according to game day.

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Elias on contract extensions

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
