Is everybody stuck with the Pittsburgh feed?  These clowns are treating it like a regular ST game. Not even mentioning half these guys names.    Lame. I was expecting something with a little mo

The Skenes ejaculate all over the booth is probably making it harder for these guys in fairness.

Pirates hometown color guy said he thought pre-catch footwork was bad, but it was a very nice throw. EBJ's speed on the bunt was just the kind of a thing a showcase like this is nice for - just t

Just a brutal broadcast. Very disappointed. MLB hyped this thing so much and it was all over the At Bat App the last few days and then to be subjected to a brutal local broadcast is really, really lame.

I was worried about Henderson being too selective.  He fixed it and won ROTY.  I was worried about Adley’s uppercut, he seems to have fixed that. I am now worried a bit about Holliday.  Lots of swing and miss.  Hope I am wrong again

Game with prospects and there are bunch of interviews. I don’t get to see these guys so I don’t know who is up unless they tell me.  So stupid.  I don’t care about Tom Brady’s chocolate cake story which made no damn sense anyhow.  Why wasn’t he supposed to eat the cake they were giving out?

I finally quit watching. Had no idea who was hitting or pitching for the Orioles half the time. If this is MLB's idea of how to broadcast this, forget it. All you heard or saw was Pirates. I don't care who airs it, it should be a balanced broadcast showcasing BOTH teams. I mean it's on the MLB channel! I felt like the other day watching MASN off the YES feed. Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be nice when I never have to hear the name Angelos again. The pennypinching is beyond ridiculous.  A golden opportunity missed to showcase the O's best in baseball farm system.

That was so incredibly disappointing. Announcers knew nothing about who was playing. The usual in-the-booth or back-field interviews of their ST broadcasts so you’re not even seeing them, let alone hearing anything about them.

Don’t even talk about how lame our players looked. Can anyone come up with a highlight? Valdez’ running game maybe?

I guess the Pirates have a lot of pitching prospects.

Thank God now Al Leiter talking up Bright. Would’ve been nice to hear who the hell he was during the game!

Seems like they were smart to pass on this one.  Team didn’t exactly shine tonight.

      Elias: It's on me

      I'm afraid I will have to see it to believe it. I have been disappointed way too many times to count.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Say O! · Posted

      To build off your point, Elias quotes suggest that the intent is for payroll to be higher in 2025 than 2024.  The only way I see that happening is to sign premium SP (or re-sign Burnes).  Simple shortcut math 2025 Eflin offsets 2024 Burnes salary, leaving $25M to fill for 2024 Santander+Kimbrel.  Arb raises and full year Seranthony + Soto may wash to neutral-ish with no Hayes, Means (or at most $5M more in 2025).  Net/net that leaves $20-$25M to stay flat.  So IMO if payroll is to rise year-on-year, it has to be from adding premium pitching (given Santander as QO and leave as FA).

      IMO Goldschmidt and Alonso are not equivalents as players at this point. Goldschmidt is much closer to done and I would stay far away from him. We need at least one good/impactful veteran hitter. Not somebody who used to be good.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      They will probably go after Sugano the 35 year old at the end of his career as he is cheaper and no posting fee.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By Ceciltrav · Posted

      David Ortiz also commanded the strike zone.  He didn't swing at a lot of junk.  He got his pitch or the pitcher made a mistake, he hit it.  Pitchers will let you get yourself out all day if you swing at pitches repeatedly out of the zone.  We need to do a better job of this.

      Elias: It's on me

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      Elias has said that he and his staff are (or will be) making an exhaustive inquiry to identify the sources of this team's underperformance -- which I take to mean not just the playoff defeats, but also the underperformance during the second half of the sentence. Sounds good.  But at the same time, before that investigation has gotten underway, Elias has announced that Hyde will be back next year. I believe many of the criticisms of Hyde's in-game decisions, lack of fire, failure to take action in response to boneheaded baserunning, etc., etc. -- including my own -- have been exaggerated. But Hyde does seem, to me anyway, to have shortcomings as a manager. I really don't know whether any of this team's problems could be alleviated by bringing in a new manager with qualities that Hyde lacks. But if Elias is serious about a top-to-bottom review of the team's weaknesses and ways that those weaknesses might be improved on, shouldn't the manager's stewardship  be among the subjects considered? It appears that Elias intends to scrutinize and look for constructive changes throughout the organization. Except the manager. I don't get it.

      Adley's health this season

      By e16bball · Posted

      So where did it go wrong, if it’s tough to pin it on bad swing decisions?  I still think an injury (or multiple smaller injuries) is possible, if not probable. Evaluating the possibility of a hand injury, here are his Statcast numbers from the two weeks prior to and following that incident on June 27: 2022-2023: 37.8% hard hit rate; 88.2 MPH avg. EV; .353 wOBA 06/12 - 06/26: 43.8% hard hit rate; 89.8 MPH avg. EV; .356 wOBA 06/28 - 07/14: 20.5% hard hit rate; 83.6 MPH avg. EV; .214 wOBA Coming into June 27, Adley was hitting the ball harder than he ever had. He was actually hitting it even harder in the week prior to June 27 than what I showed above. After that ball off his hand, those hard contact numbers instantly fell off, in a pretty dramatic fashion. And they never really came back.  07/14 - 09/30: 30.0% hard hit rate; 86.9 MPH avg. EV; .258 wOBA I don’t think it’s quite proof positive that he was playing with a broken hand or that type of thing. But it’s very suspicious that his performance immediately fell off a cliff after getting hit with that foul ball and really never again returned to anything approaching normal for him.
