Just Regular

Lost in the shuffle of another Rogers meltdown is another 2 run performance by the offense....   That ain't going to get it done....

 

And this is against a 54-65 team....🧻🚽

Who do you put in his place?

Cole Irvin occasionally hits 95 MPH.  He puts it right down the middle a lot, but he at least occasionally hits it...

Feels like this is part of the stupid Walltimore fascination.  Gotta have LHPs because the RH opponents can't hit balls over that big eye sore in LF.  They love(d) Povich, Irvin and Rogers, none of whom can actually pitch very well.  Seems like a trend.  Almost makes me feel bad for Bruce Zimmerman.  He's lefthanded and sucks.  Why doesn't he get a chance?

Book isn’t closed on Povich.

    • I have a feeling that Irvin will do better in another organization than he did with us.  It seemed like the O’s were trying to make him into something he wasn’t, chasing higher velo, etc.   Also, I don’t think Brandon Hyde really believed in him.  We’ll see next year.  
    • Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?
    • Royals lose, now 3 games back of us in the loss column.  Twins lose, now 5 games back of us in the loss column. 
    • Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.
    • I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.     
    • No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.  
    • Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!
