Maureen and I went to the game on Friday night and noticed what must be a programming error in the scoreboard statistics.

Specifically, the lineup area and posted stats for each hitter were correctly adding ABs as they occurred but double counting hits.

For example, Cowser started the game 11/24 (.458).  After going 2 for 2, his batting average was posted at .577 in the lineup column (15/26) indicating he had gone 4 for 2 on the night.  The same was happening for the Brewers.

We didn't go to Saturday's game, so it may already have been fixed.  If one wanted to point this error out to the Orioles, who might be the point of contact?

Funny you mention this, I noticed the .577 after seeing something in an article before the game which had him at ~.450, and as I did, the two fellas behind me did too.  The conversation between them was hysterical.  Of course they consulted their mobile oracles and determined that "...if Cowser continues at this pace he'll beat the batting record by almost .200 points!  That can't be right... THAT's what it says!" and I just kind of giggled.

Would have no idea who to call, but I imagine when everyone in the game is batting over .400 they'll figure it out. ;) :)

      You’ve got to think that the minor leaguers are well aware of it when the boss is there to watch them play, right?

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      Before I begin, I have to say I have really enjoyed watching Mullins over the past few years. However, his body language when going to the plate now is really poor.  Two thoughts: 1) Is it time for him to at least try switch hitting again. Could it possibly get worse? Just a different look for a bit. 2) I know D is important. But, how many above average, game changing plays does a CF'er (or any fielder) make per game? Yet, for the most part, every starter gets 4 AB's/game where he can make a difference. Is having a good D, no hit player a net gain? Or is a average D, hit player a net gain?

      Thats all there using Mcann for is backup catcher 17 starts all at catcher, Mayo does not play catcher.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Suarez’ velo makes me think he is an IL candidate when Grayson is activated, if there’s some nagging injury that is contributing to it.  I think it’s very unlikely Akin is optioned and Baumann has pitched better of late, so good chance somebody is going to the IL.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Frobby · Posted

      As to Urias, I think he’s on much thinner ice.  I’d say he has another 30 days to get his bat in gear.  If he doesn’t, I think either Holliday or Mayo will take his spot.

      I don’t see a path for Mayo to get the ABs needed to acclimate & become a force in the lineup this year.  Someone would need to be moved.  I don’t see them bringing him up to get sporadic ABs and if they do bring him up and give him sporadic ABs I don’t see him being a difference maker.  He’s a special talent but every single one of our top tier guys have needed time to adjust.  How does he get that opportunity?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Offensively, l think McCann is what he is.  If you look at his 2023 game log, you’ll see that he was sub-.600 OPS most of last year, except that he had a 10-game stretch in August where he got very hot and raised his OPS from .564 to .692, and then he had a .525 OPS for the rest of the season once that streak was over.  So, I’m not expecting much more from McCann with the bat than what we’re currently seeing.  Every so often that stiff, grooved swing of his connects with a baseball and he hits the ball hard somewhere.   Most of the time, it doesn’t.   Defensively, there are some indicators that his performance is down, particularly in pitch blocking.  But it’s a small enough sample that I don’t know if it’s really meaningful.   The team is 11-6 when McCann starts and the pitchers have a 3.78 ERA when he’s behind the dish (2.90 when it’s Adley).   I think that’s good enough that the team isn’t going to be in any big hurry to “upgrade” from McCann.   He’s been a good mentor for Adley and seems well liked and respected in the clubhouse.   So long as they’re winning when he catches, they’re going to stick with him IMO.
