I'm a diehard fan, but if we don't score a run or two this inning, I'll be tempted to turn this game off.

I am listening to it on Gameday Audio, and I might switch to another game, at least for a while. I love the O's as much as anyone, but it gets a little bothersome to listen to missed opportunities. You don't get many chances against Burnett.

Not to be Mr. Gloomy but Pie has a .230 something lifetime average with no power.

Which only tells part of the story.

May: .465 OPS (51 at bats)

June: .752 OPS (36 at bats)

July: 1.167 OPS (15 at bats)

July is only a .400 OPS, but it's also only 5 at bats. Obviously, sample sizes are so small, it's tough to get any real meaningful data. But Pie's bat has clearly improved through the season, and he plays very solid D. If Pie put up a .752 OPS w/ his defense, it wouldn't be at all surprising to me if he were more valuable than Reimold.

I like Reimold a lot, and I'm not even saying Pie should start over him, but he should definitely be getting more playing time. The fact that Trembley couldn't get him in while Reimold was slumping is just mind-boggling.

This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts - runners on 1st and 3rd, no outs, and we can't hit a fly ball or even a sharp grounder that scores a run.

And people called me not a true fan for cancelling my mlbtv. Smartest decision I made all summer.

The speed and defense will probably keep him on the team as the 4th OF but Reimold is going to be the starter because of his power even if he's just an average defender.
And I'm fine with that if his hitting doesn't improve. But if Pie eventually can get to being a .780ish OPS guy, which I think is possible, although not probable at this point, then he should be starting in LF and Reimold move to DH (with Scott at 1B or traded).

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.

      He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.

      With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!

      Why I don't fully trust Catch Probability

      By brooks1083 · Posted

      I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.

      Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.

      a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
