The O's have the best OBP in MLB

They are also:

-2nd in Runs (94)

-4th in OPS (.807)

-2nd in SB (24)

-6th in HR (22)

-3rd in BBs (78)

 

I didn't check the pitching stats, so I'll just assume those look pretty great as well.

But in all seriousness, this is pretty cool for a team that has often struggled with OBP over the years.

3 different threads made this morning talking about this (or at least partially talking about it)

Really need the mods to step in and merge these threads. This stuff is getting out of hand already and it’s a few weeks into the season.

As far as the topic, it’s great to see. The organizational shift to this has been great and it’s obvious that this isn’t just starting. I would expect them to be ranked highly in this category for years to come.

Just it be clear. I’m not trying to “bust your balls”. It happens.  Just feel the conversations are better when we can talk about them in one thread as opposed to jumping all over the place.

It’s definitely a worthy topic and a good one to bring up.

Honestly dude, I agree. I saw the other post right after I posted mine and was "oh damnit..."

At least we've reached a point where people are reposting good news!

    • Yeah. Won't those people who criticized Elias for drafting all those pitchers and passing on athletic shortstops and sluggers feel silly then? Oh, wait .  .  .
    • True, if you're talking about guys without batting talent. But there are numerous guys on the Orioles who have proven ability to hit in the ML or are believed to have a high level of ability to do that, and almost all of them are performing poorly. Isn't the job of coaches to help those guys to maximize and utilize their talent? I don't know what the hitting coaches are doing, but it's not working. I'm not saying the hitting coaches are incompetent. I can't judge that. But it appears that they have been ineffective in helping this group of hitters with their current problems. That suggests to me that there is a shortcoming in either the coaches' advice or their communication of that advice to the players. 
    • Also a good post. Agree. 
    • Great OP and agree with what's been said. Today's game started with a lot of first pitch swings and outs. I guess that was the game plan but that drives me crazy. I quit watching. I just don't understand this team's approach to hitting. I admit to being old school but to me it's more than just the talent or lack there of. If all of a sudden, they can do a 180, it will be a miracle of the ages. 
    • Yep..and PQ last year when he said something to the effect that this can’t keep happening (said it after Colts game)..and then Kc last year saying they knew the Ravens would abandon their game plan. These are all direct shots at Harbaugh. There is no other way to say it. You can say some is also directed at Lamar as well but this isn’t just Lamar. It’s everything and most of that is on Harbs.
    • It’s hard to believe the coaching isn’t working. Overall, they have been an excellent offense with him here. They rate highly in traditional stats, statcast stats or advanced stats.    But you have a lot of bad players right now, a lot of good players playing bad and a lot of young guys still learning how to play. The injuries are killing things. Coaching can only do so much for sub 600 OPS guys.
    • Great post.  You have summed up the lack of excitement perfectly.     Just a boring team to watch now.
