What was that Felix Pie is better defensively than Nolan Reimold thing, again?

Man that was monumentally stupid.

Yeah, it was dumb. The announcers gave him hell for it, much more flak than Reimold got for misplaying a ball and costing his team more than one base. Pie IS better than Reimold in the field. That was a dumb mistake, but not as big of one as Reimold's, just my opinion of course.

I don't think Pie is on this team next year. Every time he makes a mistake the announcers rip into him with a passion, unlike when other O's fail.

I think the problem is they are trying to find reasons to play him more, but those kind of plays make you think twice.

Pie's mistake cost us nothing. In fact if he had nailed the guy at 3B it would have saved a run. What do you expect from a guy who doesn't get in a game more than once a week. Reimold's two misplays cost us runs.

That's the problem, you HAVE to prove yourself when you do in fact get into the game. While you're sitting on the bench, stay mentally sharp by running these kind of scenarios in your head to make sure you have the right answer fast. Pie gets chances, yet doesn't make himself look good enough to play more.

Neither of Reimold's misplays were mental mistakes.

You always keep the double play in order with < 2 outs.

I agree, but his bat really is coming around, and he needs to be utilized if he's going to be on the team. He's basically a rookie, and he's going to make silly mistakes sometimes.

My problem is the physical vs. mental error thing. It seems as if physical errors like Reimold's earlier (on second thought, not reading a line drive well might be a mental error too) are brushed over by the announcers. The commentary on that play was kind of like "oops....he misread that one". Reimold's error was MORE costly, but gets much LESS vitriolic commentary.

What Pie did was dumb, but it only cost us ONE base. I guess he's the whipping boy for the color commentary guys and some people around here too.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
