I typical don't either, but when he have a guy who played in the Negro Leagues, I'm ok with making an exception.

There's another hard hit flt ball by Gunnar lol

I don't like any of them.  And here is another one, this time for disabilities.  I don't really care who they are, my favorite player or favorite cause, or a guy I can't stand or a cause I don't care about.  I just want to watch and hear my game.  Don't really want any of this other stuff.

The good news is it's TV, so you really don't need the announcers to tell you what is going on. But I get it.

Good news is you have options. 1. Go to the game and you don't have to listen to interviews. 2. Turn on the radio and mute the TV and you don't have to listen to interviews. 3. Mute the TV so you don't have to listen to interviews. 4. Come here and whine incessantly about it and make the rest of us suffer with you. You've chosen 4, I wish you'd choose something else.

I hate all these interviews and stuff in the middle of the game.  Do this either before or after the game or in-between innings or something.  Not in the middle of game action.  

I’ve got the MLB app to watch games, even in Harrisburg it was my only way to watch. There are no pregame or postgame shows (which I do miss).  With the new pace-of-game rules, this is the only way they can reach me, doing things in-game.  I find it distracting when they don’t acknowledge game action during the interviews, but I also find out stuff that keeps me feeling connected.

    • I wanted him in the offseason. 
    • Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, Urias can play 2B. Leave Westburg at 3B like they did with Gunnar at SS and let Mateo and Urias split 2B duties for now.
    • He doesn't have to. But yea, whomever is running him out there is going to decide to.
    • The Red Sox got picks 132 and 133 for Eovaldi and Bogaerts.
    • I have attached a link to the latest SABR Defensive Index (SDI) player rankings, updated yesterday for games through June 7. (Although I'm pretty sure I've posted one or more of these in the past, I couldn't find a previous thread on SDIs. It doesn't quite fit under Gold Glove awards or discussions. But then again, I often can't kind my phone, my keys and/or my wallet, so there may be an extant thread that is eluding me.) https://sabr.org/sdi The SDI is a compliation of defensive statatics: "A composite measure of fielding based on five fielding metrics and computed by a committee working under the auspices of the Society for American Baseball Research. Four of the metrics comprising it are zone rating statistic; Chris Dial's Runs Effectively Defended, John Dewan's Defensive Runs Saved, Sean Smith's Total Zone Rating, and Mitchel Lichtman's Ultimate Zone Rating. The fifth metric, Michael Humphrey's Defensive Regression Analysis, is based on conventional fielding indices but uses statistical procedures to rid them of bias. The Index constitutes 25 percent of the method used to determine Gold Glove Award winners."  I belive zero is supposed to be league average. The Oriole highlight of the update is that Gunnar Henderson is first among MLB shortstops, is tied for fourth among all AL fielders (Texas' Marcus Semien is way ahead of the rest of the field), and is tied for seventh among all MLB fielders.  Here arevthe rankings for the Orioles among qualifying AL fielders, with comparisons to qualifiers on the team we're chasing right now. Some of the rankings seem quite odd to me, but in a rare moment of conciseness I'm refraining from comment. Pitcher -  Burnes is 21st, with a negative SDI. Three NY starters (Cortes, Stroman and Gil) are ranked higher than that.  Catcher - Rutschman is eighth. The NYYs' Jose Trevino and Austin Wells are third and tied for ninth. 1B - Mountcastle is fourth (highest among AL East 1Bmen). The NYYs' Anthony Rizzo is sixth. 2B - No Oriole qualifier. The NYYs' Gleyber Torres is seventh of nine qualifiers, with a negative SDI. SS - Training Gunnar in spots 2-4 are Volpe, then Seager and Witt in a tie. 3B - Westburg is fifth, one spot behind the NYYs' Oswaldo Cabrera.  LF - Cowser is third, well behind Verdugo in first. CF - Mullins is tenth (with a negative SDI). Judge is tied for fourth. RF - Santana is tenth (with a negative SDI). Soto is tied for second.   
    • I understand, but Crochet is going to run into an innings limit later this season.  He would then have to go to the pen this season.   We do need help, no doubt about it.  It will be very interesting to see how Elias handles who he targets and what he's willing to deal away.
    • That is true, and a lot of the “badness” has been Westy him himself. I think he’s a very fine player, and I don’t want to sound disparaging, but I would much prefer that he be at third all the time.
