Wait yeah Luis Vasquez was on deck with a .473 OPS why didn’t he just bury 3 sliders
Orioles sleeper agent?
Why did Tanner Scott throw a middle middle fastball on a 1-2 count to a high chase rate 21 year old, that doesn’t seem ideal
Oh shid the whole website is broken rn isn’t it Someone should fix that
One day I’ll set up working dynamic meta tags That day is not today
Would it be too much to ask for the Chiefs to lose too?
Oh baseball
I gotta figure out what my most sicko page it’ll show this for is
Enjoy the Mateo experience this month because it is uhhh time to move on next year
Welcome back Jorge Mateo
There are dozens of us, dozens
I’m sold, check your DM I just sent you the code to the entire site
It would appear George Kirby has single handedly blown my fantasy baseball season to smithereens
Ramon Laureano will always be the baddy the Orioles fumbled, the one that got away
Ryan O’Hearn (2.4) and Ramon Laureano (2.2) both had more fWAR this season than the entire lineup combined. They are in the opposing lineup today
Personal anecdote I interviewed with the Padres last December and one of the questions they asked was "What moves would you recommend the team make over the rest of the offseason?" and my response was something along the lines of "Is there ANY catcher on this team?"
God dammit you can't split seasons for teams either on Fangraphs if you're doing a positional split, it will break
Can’t filter stathead queries by WAR at position 😭
For sure but if that weren’t true we couldn’t marvel in the fact that Ajax is the leader
This reminded me how awful the Padres catching depth chart has been this year and now I must dive down a rabbit hole to see if they are the best ever team to accrue negative value from the catcher position
And they are somehow up 7-0
I cannot believe this is true but it is
Hint: there are OVER ONE HUNDRED HITTERS this year with more fWAR on the season than this entire lineup combined.
Guess the combined fWAR of this lineup this season
Oh my god I was checking to see how much combined fWAR today’s Orioles lineup has. The fWAR leader in the lineup is Alex Jackson at 1.0 over 29 games
Ajax has 5 to Mayo’s 7 even though Mayo has 3 times as many PAs this season
I have it on and it seems to do all of nothing
Do not become a software engineer or you will become pissed off at every website and app in existence
You would think the “delay notifications” feature would yknow, delay the notifications
I know I did not just receive a Coby Mayo home run notification
Reverse jinx
I don’t remember who it was specifically, some Dbacks pitcher this year I think but they kept calling him a huge reverse splits guy even though he had like less than 50 lefties faced on the year
For sure. This is mostly my vendetta against the term at large being used a little more freely than I think it should
It just bugs me because even on the broadcast they’ll call guys reverse split guys when they have a sample of like, 20 innings against lefties
I apologize in advance but I’m gonna be “that guy” one this one unfortunately and say that the concept of reverse split guys is based off an insignificant split sample 90% of the time. These are his career splits, followed by his 2024 splits (174.1 innings).
Not this dream again
apology for poor english when were you when streameast dies? i was sat at home look at stuff plus data when Egyptian authorities ring ‘streameast is kill’ ‘no’
Shawn Dubin DFA into Chayce McDermott promotion when
The ol’ walk, walk, groundout, rbi groundout, groundout
Isn’t grit and determination Tracy Jordan’s entourage in 30 Rock
We do not live in the real world
I don’t believe this, Rico Garcia did not reappear on the roster out of thin air after multiple years and immediately become god
There’s just no way they get out of this right
“You hear they’re calling Kade Strowd a setup man now?” “Yeah, setting up the bases for a grand slam maybe!”
Has the Mike Elias strategy of “claim literally every waiver guy you drafted/signed for the Astros” ever worked aside from like.. Cionel Perez? I’m sure I’m forgetting a few guys Does Ramon Laureano count? No I will not accept Corbin Martin as an answer
I wonder who drafted Shawn Dubin
What a field of names
Such as gold glove nominee Anthony Santander
I should note this is a complete Orioles fan biased take and I’m sad that the team is taking away time from Mountcastle
Notably not a good thing when your whole shtick is supposed to be hitting, as opposed to the elite defenders on this list
The worst hitters in the league this year by OPS, min 200 pa
He’s been nails as a reliever in Norfolk and I expect they will bring him up before the end of the season to get some of that data
When you walk into a barbershop and they have a poster of these looks on the wall >>>
I cackled
He’s too good for us
Ramon Laureano will always be the baddy the Orioles fumbled, the one that got away

Like clockwork
WHO hit a homer
I am not kidding when I saw there is a 6th monitor off screen as well
You ever terrify yourself on purpose
Sources are saying no one has ever been more locked in
It’s funny how finicky defensive stats can be but even then DRS will say “yeah Max Fried is actually a fielding machine” and back up his 3 gold gloves at… pitcher??
There’s just no way that EVERYBODY was kung fu fighting
It’s fun to look at post deadline bullpen hierarchies - sellers deploy a squad of guys pulled off the street, buyers have a Frankensteined together unstoppable monster formed by the best relievers from other teams
4 is a low estimate
I am in utter disbelief that the Orioles won this game
Undueled by Dietrich Enns, Rico Garcia, and Keegan Akin. Baseball.
Read the script, this game will end with a Keegan Akin blown save
One might perhaps refer to him as a professional hitter
He seems pretty good
Dietrich Enns
How about that Beavers guy
Jason Adam :(
He CAN keep getting away with this
I appreciate her enthusiasm though
My sister was watching MLB Network and asked if I saw that Justin Verlander just threw a no hitter That was a replay from 6 years ago
Weird to see an Orioles legend in another uniform Especially one as important as Jose Iglesias, I mean he’s a popstar
Trying to keep up with all the roster expansion moves Why is Ha-Seong Kim on the Braves now
How is this not the first time that I haven’t had the game on yet but implicitly knew Beavers got a hit from a Himbo King post I imagine it will not be the last
Have to get six years of service time first to be acknowledged
Neither of them even play for the Marlins how did the Marlins get involved in this mess
This put me in crisis. I knew there was a Roddery Muñoz with distinct eyebrows on the Cardinals, and was very confused by the Braves calling up his identical twin Rolddy Muñoz
I THINK this is what it’s supposed to be but who knows at this point
Here’s what Statcast has after his last start. Has given up on the “slurve” classification and now identifies: - Slider as a sweeper - Cutter as a slider - Death ball as a cutter
Cristopher Sánchez has quietly been the best pitcher in baseball (other than Trevor Rogers, somehow) since the all-star break
I wonder if Emmanuel Rivera is gonna pitch
Looked at the probables and saw Justin Verlander’s record
