Surprised Mayo locked up on that K.

He's got a funky timing mechanism.  Seems like he starts way late.  I know that's a thing for guys with crazy bat-speed (Sheffield & Baez for example) but seems like sometimes he just mistimes the pitcher and can't get a swing off.

Holy crap I just figured how to load the MLB app onto my TV and I have linked my Milb account and am watching the tides on the big screen!  I know this might be a minor thing for most of you but for m

Charlotte is a beautiful backdrop for a game.

This feels like a baseball video game once the difficulty has been dropped to the lowest setting.

Holliday doesn't seem very focused tonight.

Holliday seems way ahead with the bat but his defense and positioning is kind of lagging.  I guess the kid cant be perfect.

I will say that I wanted to see Holliday start in Baltimore but watching the multitude of missed plays and errors shows how he really is NOT major league ready defensively.

He has not impressed me at all defensively at 2B so far this year.

Why wasn't Holliday covering second?  Did he think Stowers caught that?  He's been caught out of position a few times I've seen so far this season.  

Watching this game makes me believe Elias actually sent all of these guys down to work on defense. They are all very inconsistent. They look good one play, and are totally out of position the next.

And just as I say that he turns a nice DP, and then make a nice lunging play on a line drive.

And just like that Holliday makes a nifty diving catch for the third out.  I bet this kid will figure it out in time.  Ripken had massive errors his first couple years at SS.

He's going to be great.  He's just super inexperienced.  On replay, he got a very good jump on that liner.  Good play for sure.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.

      Is it just me or did they sound the HR / walk-off siren before the ball actually went out?
