I don't think he was joking.   Stowers pulled his hands in and turned on a fastball up and in and lined it sharply to right (110 mph EV)

OK, wish I could have seen it.  With all the swing and miss I was hoping he would hit something eventually.

Laz Diaz is explaining that he is worse at calling balls and strikes and they should be yelling at him.

This team just doesnt do the little things well. Leadoff double HAS to score ...

How many times have O's had runner on 2nd or even 3rd w no outs this year and still not scored?  Seems too many to count.

This offense reminds me a lot of the Duquette type of offense. Lots of power, no obp ability and no ability to work counts. Just a lot of unproductive and quick outs.

But why?  Isn't the Orioles entire draft and development process basically focused on the opposite of what we're seeing?  Call it what you'd like, plate discipline, controlling the zone, pitch recognition, etc.  Where the F is all of that?  Where are the approaches that resulted in video game like OBPs on the path to Baltimore?  I get that Mounty, Hays, Santa and Mullins are what they are, and they are all freezing cold right now, but the young kids are hacking at everything, too.  It's driving me crazy.

      One run and 2 XBH’s in the last 13 innings. Doesn’t matter how good the pitching. If they’re just scattering a few singles it’s gonna be tough to win.

      Johnson, who had a degree in mathematics and an abiding curiosity in the field, would offer unsolicited advice to Jim Palmer and Dave McNally, the perennial 20-game winners.     “You’re in an unfavorable chance deviation,” Johnson would tell them, to puzzled annoyance. “You’re trying to throw for the corners, and you’re missing a foot away or you’re missing right down the middle. So I suggest, when you’re in an unfavorable chance deviation, throw it down the middle and you’ll hit the corners.” After that, Johnson said, the pitchers called him Dumb-Dumb.  Johnson, of course, was anything but stupid. When most of the baseball world sniffed at a book called “Percentage Baseball,”written in the 1960s by a Baltimore mathematician named Earnshaw Cook, Johnson called the author, met him for lunch and got an autographed copy. To supplement his income one winter, Johnson made speeches at high schools on behalf of a defense contractor, encouraging students to enter the computer field.   https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/19/sports/baseball/davey-johnson-baseballs-oldest-manager-leading-washingtons-youth-movement.html?unlocked_article_code=1.100.c8eH.YaWx09n9u8hS&smid=url-share

      A week or two ago I thought about Sandoval with LAA as a possible #5 starter type.    I see he hurt his elbow. It’s remarkable.

      Cowser and the strikeouts.

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      Cowser is probably going to figure it out and have a productive career. But if a deal presented itself to trade him (out of the division) for a reliable starter with control, the O's should make it in a heartbeat. Let Colton figure it out on someone else's time. The Orioles desperately need quality pitching.

      St. Louis did can’t remember about the Reds. I don’t know what it is about teams located in the center of the country. Even though the Astros are in the AL West Division they are still in that part of the US.

      Pena had that chop double that bounced over Urias's head yesterday, so it must be somewhat hard.

      Mateo is a utility player not a guy who starts 140 games a season. Time for him to shift into that role.
