Similar call mid-AB to Mountcastle completely changed the trajectory of his AB as well

That’s right. That pitch was down and in and missed by a lot.

And what positive words do you have to offer about the game, the players, the roster changes, ???  I’d love to read another perspective or two.

I don’t get much out of folks dropping in just to critique posters. But maybe that’s just me. 

The batters have had good takes tonight.

Too many pitches in the middle of the plate tonight.

Especially when you can throw it a foot outside for a strike

Not watching.   Is the umpiring bad both ways? 

No, but I don’t think the O’s pitchers have been making the same type if pitches getting called as strikes.

Hyde is a good manager but may not be the right fit to get Os to WS.

This is the classic "super fan" post.

Have you been watching this team since the first week of June?

Yes.

We started June 13-6.  

Since June 20 we are 16-20.    No, that's not good.   Of course the Yankees are 14-19 since that time.

Damn 98 with no leg kick 

Soto and Dominguez have all of the stuff in the world. But as Phillies fans will tell you, it hasn't been enough. I heard one take that Elias is still to this day even as a buyer in the tanking/rebuilding mindset of acquiring talent rather than plugging holes on the roster.

Umpire missing so many and Adley ain’t helping him with the framing. Hyde needs to get off his rearend.

im not sure Cowser would've had that ball anyway...

That was Mayo;s fault.  Cowser saw Mayo running towards him the entire time.  Anyone would have been gun shy.  I am very sure Cow would have had that normally.

 

JH did the same thing his first or second game.

Kremer got a ball call on almost the same pitch that struck out Adley in the last inning.  I hesitate to call it bias, but the Adley SO was not a strike.  2-2 1/2 ball widths from the plate...

Other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Because they aren't playing well over their last 36 games and everyone knows that a team taht struggles for 36 games in June-July can't possibly do well.   It's science.

WE HAVE ONE FREAKING HIT...THINK ABOUT THAT.
