I think people are dismissing how hard Manny worked his entire life and without a father figure around to guide him.  From everything I’ve heard about him he busted his backside to get to where he is.

No doubt….but I also think he thought he would get him, which he would have if the throw was accurate.

I think Tellez not sliding made it a very hard play.   I don’t think Gunnar anticipated Tellez wouldn’t slide and didn’t have time to put it in his pocket.

Where we disagree is the bolded part, that's all. 

If you have never seen Gunnar make a tougher throw then you must listen to the games on the radio.  Would have been a great play.  I have a BIG problem with you saying it never had a chance.  Like he doesn’t make that play 10 of 10 times or something.

Well he clearly doesn't, or he would have made that play. 

I'm just saying when I watched it with my own eyes, I knew it had no chance. Now did I assume he'd make a good enough throw for Mounty to catch it? Definitely, yes. But it was never going to make it in time. So why risk it?

I’m not saying he makes it 10 of 10.  You’re talking like he makes it 0 of 10.  I think he probably makes it better than 50% of the time.   No way to prove it but I paused on replay when the ball is 5 feet from Mountcastle and the runner just takes his last lunge.  I think the throw beats him if on target.

After watching it a few times just now, I will concede he probably should attempt it. It's do or die and he's kind of off-balance and hucking it side arm. Just not his best throw.

Someone can probably do better.  Here’s a shot of the ball just before the runners foot hits the bag.  Keep in mind, if the throw is on target Mountcastle is probably catching it right now.

Do you think if Gunnar doesn't throw it ,that the runner from second would have tried to score?Would have been a tough throw and he would have to get up and make an accurate throw home at a tough angle

Man, watching that play live, my first thought after Gunnar managed to field the ball was "Holy sh-t! Dude just won this game with a play like that!"

I'm still shocked it turned out as it did.

No way I'm asking Gunnar to put that in his pocket. Had he, there'd be folks on here criticizing him for that.

Agree 100 percent. As a great man once said: “you play to win the game.”

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.

      2024 Week 3: Ravens @ Cowboys

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
