My goodness, that’s why you play all 9 innings. (Reds vs. Braves)

The Braves were down 9-3 in the bottom of the 9th to the Reds..

…and they scored 7 to win. Brooks Conrad finished the comeback with a pinch hit grand slam off of Francisco Cordero. Laynce Nix went up to rob the home run but the ball bounced off his glove and over the fence. Conrad thought the ball was caught, stopped running and turned around in frustration after rounding first only to see all his teammates jumping up and down in celebration.

Just curious, what's the baserunning rule for homeruns? I remember from the O's stupidity that if one baserunner passes another, then it's an out. But what about going out of the baseline/starting to walk away?

I don't think he left. He rounded first, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't even past first base when he realized.

Cool to see an almost-Chris Hoiles situation. Only one out and a 2-2 count, but pretty darn close.

      He is a spry 75!   Not even old enough yet to run for President in the US.

      We really can’t afford to “wait a bit”. Those things (if they can even be done) need to happen now. For every day that passes, that’s one step closer for them to FA. And it decreases their interest in an extension.

      Austin Hays 2024

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      First off, nobody's talking about cutting Hays. The worst that'll happen is he gets sent down to AAA to work on things.  Second, guys in slumps do actually get DFA'd all the time if the slump lasts long enough.  The question is at what point does a slump become the new normal? Sucking eggs for 10 or 20 games is a slump. Hitting .209 / .270 / .332 over 95 games and 316 ABs wouldn't normally be considered a slump. Hays has been worse than Mateo over that period, and people here were rending garments over Jorge's pathetic offense last year. Since the third week of June last year Austin Hays has been worse offensively than Joey Rickard, Caleb Joseph, and even Austin Wynns were when they played for us. How long did their slumps last?

      Moises Chace 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Moises Chace, RHP, Orioles In Baltimore’s first international signing class under general manager Mike Elias and vice president of international scouting Koby Perez, the Orioles signed a group of intriguing pitchers. One of them was Chace, a 6-foot righthander from Venezuela who had reached 93 mph, paired it with a high-spin curveball and showed good pitchability for his age. Now a 20-year-old in High-A Aberdeen, Chace’s stuff has ticked up and he’s off to an excellent start with eight scoreless innings and a 15-2 K-BB mark.  He can run his fastball up to 96 mph with good carry, getting a lot of swing-and-miss on that pitch this season, along with a high-spin slider at 2,700-2,900 rpm. His most effective pitch has been a lively, tailing changeup with more than 10 mph of separation off his fastball that has piled up whiffs. In one at-bat against Nationals lefthanded-hitting outfielder Jared McKenzie, Chace fell behind 1-0 with a fastball, then threw three straight changeups with empty swings on each one. Chace struggled with his control last year—he walked 53 in 68 innings—but there’s a starter pitch mix here if he can continue throwing strikes the way he has in his first two starts.

      Means discusses his timetable to return

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      1.  I don't. 2.  We are talking about a team playing out the string.  Think of some of the reclamation projects we've seen I Baltimore. 3. No idea, I was thinking more of a guarantee he'd not be down long enough.
