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.

We get it, man. You aren’t fond of Ryan Mountcastle.

Something about the guy bugs me too.  Dont like the weird exaggerated lean back before every pitch.  Hate the swinging at slop like Adam Jones loved to do.  And hate the fact he cant dig a ball out of the dirt at first to save his life.   For a young guy he seems already just a DH type.  

And that goofy smile on his face......hate it.

To be fair, you can hate his performance at the plate all you want…and I guess his face, if that kind of thing bothers you. But his defense is on the O’s. They know he has no position and should be, at best, a DH. But they run him out there anyway.

If the other fielders quit making crap throws his defense at first looks a lot better.  You need an excavator out there to dig some of those throws.

I really wonder what's going on with the bad IF throws. Must be psychological--and contagious.

Also you have to win when you can - see yesterday.   Only “good” thing Hyde did was pitching relievers (other than Cano) 1 inning at a time.    Really frustrating watching Gunnar and Stowers not contribute much offensively.  And for all Mounty’s bad luck hitting - a bad luck out in the game would have scored at least a  run. 

I am sorry I have been following it closely. What's the story behind Stowers' sub-.100 hitting average?

Small sample size is a part of it, today was his 10th game with the big club this year. He hasn’t played consistently when he’s been here, either, which can mess with some guys as they try to develop a rhythm.

I’m more concerned with Henderson, who has clearly been given the full confidence of the organization and honestly hasn’t made a single step forward. Something is very broken in him right now. I hope they can get it fixed.

Voth pitched two innings also. You're also denying the idea that Hyde may have pulled Wells at the right time.

Here's what we do know, Andrew Jones is not an announcer. Speak up man and maybe use some voice inflection.

He was almost as hard to listen to as Cliff Floyd was when he did a game with Melanie Newman on Apple TV+. But Ben McDonald sounded great today, as always.

I only started noticing the lean back this year. I don't remember him doing that in past years.

Ben certainly showed well today.

This game is a tough pill to swallow. We have our most important division rival coming to town tomorrow and we've burned through our entire bullpen with a negative result.

That's really the toughest part of this loss. I think the team is going to have to make a move for a fresh reliever who can provide some length.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
