This thread is to call out players for whatever reason. Can include obvious heroic performances (the Cedric and Westburg walkoffs) but also random high effort or baseball IQ plays that don't stand out

Here’s a live look in at me on my island that RZNJ banished me to because he thinks he won an argument.

Suarez goes 6 gives up zip - he's my first choice. Cowser bomb and even more exciting, Mateo tags up on first and goes to second on a fly ball to right then scores the ultimate winning run on Gunnar's single. How many times have you seen a runner on first advance on a fly to right? Cowser and Mateo honorable mentions. Kimbrel - at what he's making - nice and about time for a one run save.

6/28, 2-1 win vs TEX. I missed the first part of the game. From what I saw, gameball goes to Kimbrel for a clean inning for a one run save. Suarez appears deserving as well.

Suarez with 6 shutout over Kimbrel getting 1 with the bottom of the order.  This is an easy one.

Kjerstad gets the gold, Povich the silver, Santander the bronze tonight.  

I've got Kjerstad as well. I would give Gunnar one of the honorable mentions for that hustle double.

GrayRod wins the gold, by a mile.  Santander with the silver for driving in the first run.  Cano gets the bronze--best I've seen him throw in a while.  

Grayson almost cost himself with the bad throw but that isn't enough to wipe out an otherwise dominant performance. I agree, easy gameball for Grayson.

Cano did look good against the M's. But at least for me it's important to remember who the opponent was.

Right, Kirby was pitching to the best offense in the league. Rodriguez was pitching one of the worst. You still have to get the outs and he did, but the opponent does matter. I've made my feelings known about Cano.

Really hard to decide on a Gameball for last night. Kremer had a fantastic start against one of the best pitchers, O'Hearn carried the offense with the RBI single and HR. I also really want to recognize Adley's take on a very tough 3-2 pitch that led to the two out rally. Tough one but Gameball goes to Kremer.

      McDermott pitched today and lasted one third of an inning.

      You can dismiss it as "one bad game"...but it's very telling.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I can dismiss it as one bad game and I will. Povich certainly has issues but you can see where he'd be pretty good if he had some command.  And he's shown flashes of having good command for some stretches. The book on him is very far from being written and I'm not so cavalier to think that the Orioles can fix anyone, but I just want to see some improvement as he goes along for the rest of the season.  Keep in mind, he shouldn't be here now...had things gone to plan, we'd have Bradish and/or Wells/Means in the rotation.   So while I was disappointed with how he looked today, I am willing to give him a little bit of a leash before passing judgement.  His flaws are obvious but I do believe they are fixable. But to go so completely overboard about this being some sort of indictment on the state of the team is a bit  absurd.  I'd say this to anyone who wrote that OP, but @Roy Firestonec'mon dude.  We've overtaken the Yankees for first place without Bautista, Means, Wells and Bradish.  We're still on pace to win over 100 games.   I'm not going to ignore some of the problems this team has right now and I do expect Elias to make some significant deals at the deadline to address the rotation and the bullpen.   But let's stop acting like the game today was some sort of tell-tale sign about the state of the team.  This board is full of educated baseball fans who have been watching for decades, everyone here should know that a team -no matter how good they are- can get blown out from time to time.

      Today was just additional confirmation of what everyone has known for a long time: We desperately need both starting and relief pitching.  (And also for some strange reason we absolutely suck with the bases loaded).   We kind of needed starting pitching before Bradish went down.  Now, we desperately need starting pitching- possibly 2 decent starters (I'm still worried about Kremer even though he's been pretty good this year overall).  We need 2 good relievers too.  Ouch.  That's a lot of pitchers to need.     Today was just a stark reminder of that.  Povich certainly looks like he needs some more time at Norfolk.  And don't forget, this was the A's lineup- the 29th in the MLB...   Sadly, we don't have any pitchers in the minors who can help.  I'm not sure McDermott will ever have enough control to be succsssful and he's nowhere near ready for the MLB.

      I can’t find the stat you are citing, but the O’s are above average in RISP situations, in RISP situations with two outs, in high leverage situations, with a runner on 3B and less than two out, and with the bases loaded.  All of those are more important to me than some cherry-picked “bases loaded, less than two outs” stat I can’t find that has to be in some minuscule number of at bats (the O’s have only had 69 PA total with the bases loaded, so the less than two out subset is even smaller than that).

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      From all I've heard he can't play third.

      No, I think Malike is right. Detroit will want a better main piece and Kjerstad as the second piece and no Mounty makes more sense for them.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      in a deal like this a ML player is almost certainly going to be dealt. Mounty can DH or play first..Tork can do the same or even play third. It’s really just a controllable bat that provides value for a team that I don’t feel wants to go through a rebuild. Trading Skubal is a white flag for 2024 but it doesn’t have to be for 2025.
