How unlucky for Gunnar.  What percentage of singles with a guy on third don't actually score the guy on third?  One in 500?  One in a thousand? 

It hit me kind of odd Mullins didn't break.     I thought go on contact all the time process, but maybe infield in changed it.

I don't think OMAR means for the runners to spend a millisecond thinking about it.

He has hit 98 today.  He is becoming a next level pitcher not going all in every fastball.

Pretty much only Tate.   No one else in the pen.

We got them in Little League in 1979 or 1980, I think.  Shockingly, Yeager was hit in the throat with broken bat pieces and not a ball.  He was in the on-deck circle when fragments of a broken bat single shot 3 inches into his neck and almost killed him.  I think the throat guard was his idea to keep him safe after that, but I'm not sure on that part.

A few years previously in 1975 a Junior hockey player in Canada named Kim Crouch was badly cut similar to Clint Malarchuk in the NHL and started wearing a neck protector his father designed.  Back in the day it was called the Kim Crouch collar, the catcher's neck protector was a copy designed by the Dodger's trainer.

Adley is just money on the RH side this year. Can't get anything by him 

During Adley's rookie year, I posted on here that I thought he was overmatched from the RH side by MLB pitching and that he should consider batting only LH'd. It just looked like he couldn't catch up to anything from that side to me. CoC in so many words...lol... told me what an idiotic take that was and to give him a chance to work on it. 

Now I love watching him hit from the RH side and glad to be wrong on my initial take.

It's been interesting watching him become much better from the right side of the plate.  He's been destroying lefties all year, and it's great to see.

Okay, seriously, time to end this.

I know by ERA we've been one of the better bullpens in baseball lately, but the guys have been letting far too many inherited runners score. 

I think the Orioles are around average but the Yankees are on pace to set MLB all time strand rates-their BP has  been historically excellent.

      Making some changes on the biz end of things.  Sounds like Bader is gone from his role too..which is great because he’s awful.

      I love the wall. Love it. I think every Major League ballpark should have dimensions like that. By and large teams build parks with much smaller dimensions than a century ago, despite the players being dramatically bigger, stronger, faster athletes. It makes no sense. The game would be improved with much larger outfields. It would emphasize speed and athleticism over endless lineups of slow sluggers.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Yes, so hes a FA, the Discussion should now turn to what Elias or anybody else might offer next year. and it's tough because at 34 he's almost a one year wonder. But I do know this our season came back from trouble all year and Big Al was there to help many times.

      We all know you think you're passionate about your team and your ideas. but the way you continually insult people whose ideas you don't agree with, or who disagree with you, is incredibly childish.   It's a form of cyber-bullying.   I'd like to think you're better than that, and wonder why more people don't call you out on it.  Maybe they know it won't change anything? Is it not possible to disagree without having to insult either the person or their thoughts?  I know it's hard to self-reflect and realize that you constantly do this, and maybe make a change for the better, but I kind of expect some insults are now headed my way for trying to make this place a bit less hostile.

      We'll see Rubenstein talks a good game, but actions speak louder than words. Also it's on Elias to be willing to make a splash if the right (but also pricey) player become available and wants to be an Oriole. I was never big on an Adley extension even last year with the way catchers age. Gunnar is a player you absolutely lock up to an early contact extension assuming he is even open to it.

      I think for almost all owners payroll matters more than winning. Even teams like the Yankees are careful with how they go into penalty.

      For sure. That's why the Hyde quote implies he is a free agent.
