That's BS, that pitch to Wieters was lower than the one to Posada.

This is the kind of crap that I just can't stand anymore. I am sick of the Yankees getting the calls and not other teams.

The play at 2nd base where Jeter (a) never had the freakin' ball in his glove and (b) wasn't even on the bag anyway had he caught it is yet another prime example. It is disgusting.

It's not enough that they have such a huge payroll but we have to put up with this $! as well?

It isn't really noticeable against other teams but when we play the Yankees we always have to play against the umps as well, and it shouldn't be that way.

Just really, really starting to get to me.

That's why Arod was smiling!!!! Same thing happened to Chris Ray three years ago. They will not call a called third strke on certain players in the 9th. He should have pitched him up!!!

After that smirk, if I was Koji, the next one would have been right under his steroid chin!!

Yup. It is what is is though. It's why teams like Duke and Pats, etc are some of the most hated teams. When you're good and you get more than your share of calls it's infuriating.

The ump definitely blew it. Koji had A-Roid struck out. And I thought he had Posada struck out too. In my (completely unbiased) opinion, the umps gave the Bankees 5 outs. Although I know Buck will say you have to persevere through bad calls, it's difficult when the bad guys get 5 outs. (of course repeating the same pitch again and again and again doesn't help either). I feel bad for Milwood and Koji. Oh, and I hate A-Roid.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
