Around Baseball 2018

[Angrioter]

Chris Tillman is good at béisbol

Does anyone have an article regarding hamate breaks? Doesn't it basically affect the hitter's power for the rest of the season? My fantasy team is light on steals but I had DeShields hoping he'd help. Might drop him now instead of carrying him on the DL.

Don't have an article, but I've seen numerous places that he saps power for months after they return.

That's what I thought. For a fringey fantasy guy like Deshields that probably means he's worthless this year. I get he's mostly wheels but he's a 10 homer guy to a 2 homer guy now and it will crater his OPS. f*** it I'm dropping him. Thanks.

I think it depends on which hand the break. If its on the same hand that holds the knob of the bat then yeah it could be a lingering thing since the hamate hook rests on the bat knob for every swing they take.

yeah its his left hand, its trouble. I'm not dropping him like Terminator, but we have lots of DL spots that I can sit and wait.

The Orioles are awful at hitting the baseball--getting dominated by the Astros, and the O's haven't scored a run in 16 innings now.. this team is awful.

And we haven't started our annual OriolesHangout thread?

Yeah someone needs to fire that up again lol.

[Captain Adama]

That's Boxcar's designated job.

Miguel Castro is a small early bright spot

[Sammy225]

Generally don’t start a thread till we play them

[jaysfan2014]

Too bad the O's offense is absolutely putrid-- 6 RUNS in 4 games. That's it. Worst batting average, OBP in baseball..

 

UPDATE: Mancini just homered.

[Sammy225]

Do you see who they have been running out there as the lead off man

[Boxcar]

Yeah guys, I'm busy with school stuff atm. I'm going to let the salt accumulate and then bring in a f***ing bobcat to dig that s*** out.

[Superdood]

EE with the inside the park homerun against the Angels lol

[5ToolPhenom]

Encarnacion rips an inside the park home run! Lol that is priceless. Just when you think you've seen it all. That's why I love baseball:o

[John_Havok]

Well you know what they say, speed doesn't slump

[Orgfiller]

Yeah Matt Chapman is a stud.

[5ToolPhenom]

Godamn D'backs... Runnner on 1st with no outs and they have Taijuan Walker hacking away and he promptly grounds into a double play. And of course the next better up rips a single followed by a Marte triple. What are they thinking? lol

I'm not sure what you want them to do differently. It's the fourth inning.

[Sammy225]

Love watching Bart pitch

Yeah this is more of a National League problem than a managerial decision problem.

Exactly. Chalk up another one under the 'NL Sucks' category.

[5ToolPhenom]

I expected the pitcher to bunt the runner over to 2nd.

[5ToolPhenom]

Love watching Bart pitch

 

Ugh. I'm a fan too, but I expected the A's to crush him. Not going well for my daily sports gaming adventures.

[Jonn]

Edwin is off to an incredible start. Which is scary because hes a notorious slow starter.

[TheHurl]

Yeah guys, I'm busy with school stuff atm. I'm going to let the salt accumulate and then bring in a f***ing bobcat to dig that s*** out.

 

I think I just read that they haven't scored a run off a starter in 46 innings going back to last year.

[Orgfiller]

Kenley Jansen gives up his second homerun of the year as the D-Backs tie the game with a 3-run shot. Wow

[Orgfiller]

Holy s*** what a throw by Puig in the 14th inning to avoid a runner tagging from first to second on a long flyout.
