You're better than this nonsense. I'll leave it at that. I'm never a jerk, but you are being a child.

I'm being a child because I schooled you? Nah.. You just got schooled and got your panties in a wad.

Don't say stupid shit like "I bet you guys can't do it"! Of course we can't fricking do it. WHO CARES? It's a dumb comment that should never be said.

Now you want to just be plain wrong, be like the rest of the people in here who keeps backing up how many feet the ball went. Soon it will be, how could he block that it only went half way to the plate.

It's all so ridiculous. 

Adley misplayed the ball. He cost his team a run. That's the facts. 

I agree he used poor technique and misplayed it. I also think it was a wild pitch that an average catcher misses 60% of the time. I didn't see it as a play worth getting upset about. You disagree but I'm not sure what I said to deserve profanity and all caps.

You're just embarrassing yourself now. Quit while you're behind perhaps? Maybe pull out the tough guy schtick and ban me, you know, a paying member in good standing over 15 years, but whatever man, this is your house and you can trash it any way you like and anyone who is in it.

Absolutely love that when the ball came back to Cano, he at first knocked it down flailing at it, but then calmly reached down and grabbed it and lobbed it to first.  No panic.  Just get the ball and get the out. 

Especially after watching that very unlucky single dribbling down the third-base line underneath Gunnar's legs to bounce off the bag and allow the runner to reach.  Didn't seem to faze Cano at all.

    • They also haven’t announced the times, yet.
    • Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.
    • You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.
    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
