Friday, April 19: Orioles begin road trip in KC

[Moshagge3]

Santander just can't seem to shoot it the other way this year (yet). Tons of popups on outside pitches.

[Aristotelian]

We couldn't get this guy out and he has a .550 OPS?

[toughbuff1]

He beat the tag, but even if it's supposedly too close to call isn't a tie supposed to go to the runner?

He didn't when we played them. Guys get hot and cold in baseball. It's a thing.

Great lication on the 4 seamer by Kremer

Thing is, this is another example of aggressive baserunning (taking too large a lead) backfiring on us.

The guys have to either take risks and sometimes get picked off/caught stealing, or lose those extra 90 ft they keep trying to obtain.

Not a real rule outside the playground.

Did KB just hit us with some Ted Lasso?

Gunnar is very aggressive, it's often good and sometimes bad.  We have to accept that part of his game I guess.

Good inning by Kremer.

For now. He will mature. He’s still inexperienced. There’s zero value in taking an aggressive lead in that situation.

It’s really more about having enough evidence to overturn the call on the field. If it was a tie and the ump called him out, likely the call stands. 

I also think that tie-to-the-runner isn’t an actual rule in MLB, tho I may be wrong.

For now, is all we have. I'm not thinking how he'll be when he's 29 he won't be here. This year we'll have to deal with it and it will help us as well.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Don’t know how this guy continues to befuddle us.

Try Firefox. I had that happen to me on Chrome/Edge before.

No dice.  Tried chrome, firefox, brave.  

 

Ah well.
