Sunday, April 23: Orioles try to sweep Tigers out of Baltimore

[Yardball85]

Great at bat by Badoo.  Glad Felix got the K there.

This version of Bautista isn't awesome. Hitters can sit on 100 and do damage.

It sure seems like Urias be good defensively at 2B.

That was a terrific play.

Justin Tucker is the man.

Time for the walk off.

I Concur! 

[O's84]

Another horrible call.  

[Il BuonO]

Little concerning that Bautista is having trouble commanding the splitter right now. The two for strikes were very hittable. Nice to have a 100 mph FB to fall back on.

I don’t understand why Adley is catching and McCann is DHing.  If McCann isn’t catching he should be on the bench.

Wanted to give Santander day off. That said we need another RH bat.

I wonder if that average sprint speed is typically measured from 1B to 2B though. If that's the case and Mateo is maintaining that for 3X the distance, it's certainly elite.

Not sure how it’s measured to be honest. 

[oriolediehard]

Why is it when we get good pitching, we cant hit, and when we hit we don't have good pitching???

Doesn't make sense to me that Mateo would be at league-average speed even on one leg. Has to be that the metric is heavily skewed by data from guys running home to first/first to second (and no further), and Mateo kept up that pace for triple the distance.
