I was on Route 202 in western New Jersey last weekend and drove by this really nice baseball complex with what looked like a whole bunch of fields and games being played on some of them.

It had big dual signs with pictures of the featured atheltes that said "Jennie Finch Softball Academy" and "Jack Cust Baseball Academy".   I was a passenger but couldn't get my phone out in time to get a picture.

Jack was wearing his A's cap in the photo on teh sign.

Very solid week since the Tampa series ended. We went on the road and went 4-3 including a trip to the champion Astros, ending our stretch of 17 games in 17 days. The Rays, despite their gre

I guess RBI groundout counts as busting out for Mateo.

I refuse to root for the Jays, The Orioles need to win 5 games. Do it, starting with today.

Good Lord, that still may be one of the worse base running gaffs in Orioles history. Pretty sure that's when the Orioles were like, "Yeah, that's not a major league player!"

Watching Alejandro Kirk run a very long way to catch a foul ball at the Trop was fun.

Solo HR Vlad, so BJs up 6-3.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
