I just disagree with this. He didn't have his feet under him at all, there was never a chance that throw was going to work. 

There is no way any player is not going to try and win the game when they have a chance. A good throw there and the game is over and they win. I don't fault him at all for trying to make that play.

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.

Yeah, later on in the thread I came around to agree with this after watching the play a few times.

I’m not sure if a good throw would have beaten the runner, but I’m not going to blame Gunnar for trying.

Definitely agree with this.  It wasn't like when Gunnar threw it I thought there was no way the throw could possibly be on time. I was actually surprised regarding how quickly he got down the line.

Very nice play to get a fast runner Rafaela on a groundball towards the hole.    It felt like the kind of play where Holliday and Westburg's arms would have been short, thus the puzzle seeming to drift into place Gunnar's got the six.

I just had to mention this:

That line drive triple Henderson hit to center in Fenway last night was a laser.  What was the EV on that?  I feel bad for that ball. 

He hit at least one other at 110+. He was actually unlucky last night.

Being spoiled by Gunnar's talent, one dimension of it for me last night was the sure thought "that's a triple" the instant I saw where it was going.

Triples by reputation are baseball's most exciting play because they usually involve a fair contest between a fast runner and a strong arm.

He's 95th percentile early at Fangraphs BsR (counting stat) because of course he is.

      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.
