That might be the worst strike call I've ever seen.

You're crazy to:  1. Not be livid that Elias traded for a pitcher as obviously terrible as Rogers when Elias badly needed to significantly upgrade the bullpen, which Elias failed to do.  2.

Shelby does not inspire confidence. Looks like a Colton Cowser if he came out of hibernation.

So I was listening on the radio on the drop by Santander.   How bad was it?   The radio announcer made it seem like it was a really tough play, long run at full speed and then very close to the wall.   But a few posts on here seem to indicate it was a bad drop.

Tough play especially for AS. A better defender probably makes the catch. Me personally, I would have missed it. 😀

This offense sucks like the last few Buck teams. It’s a complete joke. Score 8 or 9 once week then absolutely be atrocious the rest of the week. The worst decision of the offseason was whoever decided to change the hitting approach and hire the other hitting coach. F’ing terrible 

They have 29 runs in the last 8 games (including this one). 10 of those runs were scored in a game they lost. That’s 19 runs the other 7 games. They don’t score 1-2 runs often, but they also prop up their total runs scored with some high scoring games once every week or two.

In Peterson’s defense, he’s actually a good lefty. Not as great as the O’s are making him look, but he’s good.

7-1, 2.81 ERA looks great to me.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.

      Recency bias: "Is a common distorting effect within systems of performance appraisal. It refers to the appraiser assessing employee performance, not on work undertaken across the full performance management cycle, but only on recent events or activities that can be readily recalled. Recency bias can be countered by keeping a record of appraisee performance over the full period of work that is being appraised." https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100407676

      You're right, I shouldn't assume he's a hole. More of an unknown (11 career AB). Still, an outfield of Slater, one unknown, and one hole isn't exactly ideal. I think Mountcastle 1B/Santander RF is pretty clearly preferable to Santander 1B/Kjerstad RF vs LHP when you include defense.

      I forget which game it was (Fri or Sat) but he also pulled a ball foul down the LF line that nearly snuck inside the pole. So he was close to having 2 HRs in the series
