Bonus today only, hits count double for batting average!

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. ;) :)

    • Perhaps Suarez will be the Orioles version of Ramiro Mendoza. 
    • What about Crochet? White Sox are a bunch of players short of competing. 
    • I guess Mike Elias saying tip of our tongues circa 1615 was kind of a jinx on Povich letting a bunch of runs in circa 1930 yesterday. We'll still see by next week if 30 games in 31 days becomes 5 rotations of 6 straightaway, or tries to stick to 6 rotations of 5 awhile longer.
    • Almost seems like you read my post in the draft section on Wednesday afternoon. ”Fair point.  Stowers, Watson, Ortiz, Trimble, Rhodes, Donta Williams, Haskin, Servideo, Fabian, Wagner, Ardoin,  are all college position players taken in rounds 2-4.   Maybe Stowers and Fabian carve out a part time role as ML players.   We’ve done well at the top of the draft with this demographic but Ortiz is the only college position player after round that looks like starting material.  The two best of this group, Ortiz and Stowers were taken back in 2019.   We haven’t done so well since then.” The 2023 draft will be interesting to follow.  Horvath is a power guy off to a bad start.  They went with more pitching with Baumeister and Lord and went with a bunch of guys who could play CF.”
    • A lot of it hasn't been his fault, but the sand does feel mostly out of the hourglass for Haskin becoming a $2 million draft pool dollar total loss. To be clear, Elias' team's overall success rate has been Stephen Curry levels of brilliant such that it looks fairly likely today the 2023-2030 Orioles will run circles around the other 29 Clubs at position player WAR, so searching for an expensive bust is kind of a humblebrag parlor game.
    • How did he manage to go undrafted with a  5 pitch mix and t97? Not complaining at all but that’s wild
    • I think some starting pitching depth is needed but I don’t think they’ll be going after big names. I see no reason to trade someone like Povich when he could very well be the answer himself. A rotation of Burnes, Rodriguez, Bradish, and a mix between Irvin, Kremer, and Suarez is decent enough to get through the season but that depends a lot on health. Beyond that and it’s getting into dangerous territory. Povich could be useful this year but I’d much rather see him introduced to MLB through the bullpen. Then the drop off is pretty severe. I don’t see McDermott as an option until he can limit the walks, but he is a warm body to throw out there if needed. That’s alright I guess. After that and we’re talking Zimmermann? More like Zimmer-should never start another major league game for the O’s.
