There's a big advantage to having a runner at 3rd with one out then 2nd. Infield has to come in so it opens up more angles, wild pitch, balk, sac fly, etc.

I like that play when you are the home team.

Hyder, you should be focused on the game not in the Hangout game thread!

Lol, this inning is on Mountcastle's POS at bat. This is why he can not be in the middle of an order. You just can't have a guy with his approach at the plate in key situations. He's a good guy to hav

Hays might have been safe if he didn’t start his slide 30 feet from 3rd base.

But we should feel proud of the team......they kind of stuck around a while.   Tired of that crap.   Just win baby.  

They've gone punch for punch with a much better lineup and pitching staff than our own. They've had a fairly easy schedule to this point and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using this series, regardless of the outcome as a barometer for playing against elite offenses and pitching and being in every single game. Huff and puff all you want, that doesn't make it any less impressive. On paper they should have been destroyed in this series.

Bullpen is toast and other than Santander we haven't hit squat since the 5th inning 

I guess I get the BP angle but you can make adjustments after the game. Taking series from ATl in ATL should be the only though

Yeah but we all knew he was going to blow the save and he went right ahead and did it all by himself

You all "knew" we were going to lose in the bottom of the 11th too.

You all "knew"we wouldn't be able to compete with Atlanta this weekend.

You all "knew" once we blew the lead to KC we'd lose that game Thursday.

OK, you got one right, Felix did blow it in the 10th.   But if you are going to constantly predict defeat and failure, and you are wrong time after time, it's kind of silly to come out with the I told you so the one time it actually does happen,.

I like that ply when you are the home team. 

Why would it mattered in an extra inning game. It's not like this team has been hitting well with RISP. Might as well get to 3rd. It took an amazing throw and that's what he did.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Lord I needed that

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
