Lol Bichette is such a bad SS

His range is okay but his arm is one of the most inaccurate arms I've ever seen from a major league infielder.  I'm not sure where he plays if not at SS.  The arm isn't going to play at 3rd, and if he can't make that throw 90 feet from 2nd base he can't play 2nd either.

Watching the commercials of young people painting their walls I realize I am too old for that crap now.  I aint wasting my time or hurting my arm and back to cover up some stains.  LOL

Urias is so graceful playing 3rd base. It's like watching a dance artist perform a masterpiece.

Adley has made what would be some great throws to second if the baserunners were coming from third base,

Amazingly, his dWAR is in the black for his career.

That’s because he’s a SS.  You have to be insanely bad defensively at SS to have a negative dWAR on baseball reference (Derek Jeter). 
 

He had -16 DRS and -15.2 UZR last season.

Just tried to vote for the All-star team on the MLB app.  You know they have the only third base canidate for the Orioles is Urias?  What crap is that.  I wanted to vote for Henderson.  Henderson is not available to pick.  I just exited the dumb thing.   I dont care to vote if I cant vote for Henderson.  How does MLB not know that Urias is the back up?

Gunnar is listed as a DH. You can still vote for him in the DH category.

That's because he's getting a positional adjustment for being at shortstop.  He's at -15.1 runs fielding and +17.5 runs because he's playing short.

 

It's rough for the Jays because if he can't throw on target he can't really move to another position.  If it was range or arm strength he could move to 2nd or 3rd.  So the Jays are kind of stuck with him there.  Maybe they could try him at CF.  Anywhere else and he's probably a bigger negative than he is at short.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.
