Two of Lugo's four starts were vs the White Sox, who are starting to set all time records for offensive futility.   The White Sox are last in MLB at 2.15 runs per game.   Another start was against the Twins, who are 3rd from the bottom in MLB with 3.47 rpg.   The Orioles are 3rd in all of baseball, 5.85 rpg... so the Orioles score more in the typical game than the White Sox and Twins combined.

Lugo's other start was vs the Astros, who so far this year are below MLB average at 4.36 rpg.

I think that every time they show it, and they almost always cut back to Hyde and I think "huh, actually it kinda does"

It reminds me of another player that I can't place, and they just slapped Hyde's name on it lol.

It really is. I always laugh at it. Last night my daughter and I were playing some Roblox game and we would throw each other and every time you threw each other it  yelled “YEET”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 

Isn't it also a direct call back to what Cowser said?

I don't get calling for a review. It was obvious in slo-mo where the ball hit theta little fence and where it went afterwards. Did the Orioles not know that, or not know the ground rules, or just decide, "What the hell. It wasn't a HR but maybe the umpires will get it wrong." 

It was a crew chief review. The only thing I can think of is they wanted to check to see if it went off a fan vs off the railing. I thought it was obvious on the first live view that hit off the fence below the fan railing and was still play.

Lugo pitch count pretty high 53 pitches...Ragins had nearly that many in the second inning yesterday...

I can't believe they left him out there for that many pitches. Crazy.

    • My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.
    • Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups. 
    • I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.  
    • Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins. 
    • Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything. 
    • I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org. 
    • My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
