  1. Team has basically been treading water which is frustrating but also kind of okay given all the injuries and that the AL sucks. Cease, Kirk, Nance and Scherzer should be back next week Bieber should be back by the end of the month Barger back sometime this month May get Yimi back this month but I'm not counting on it
  2. Olerud was actually on to something with his Nimmala critiques. The hit tool is a concern and as he ages he better start showing signs of improvement there. And there's a lot of history to back that up. But it took me about a month's worth of posts to understand what he was getting at. Has some useful insights and isn't a part of the hivemind so we might learn something.
  3. Gausman vs. Elder Corbin vs. Holmes TBA vs. Sale
  4. Jon Heyman will s*** himself. He thinks twitching your hip should count as a swing.
  5. Glad to see it. Check swings were probably the one MLB rule that nobody really knew how to define and that wasn't called consistently. The NBA is a total mess on what constitutes a foul or not. And the NFL still can't seem to agree on what a catch, holding, or pass interference is. Good on the MLB for getting this stuff figured out.
  6. But even if he's tubing them down the middle, tipping pitches, is a mental midget, or whatever else could possibly be wrong with him....teams aren't making hard contact off of him at all. 87.7 EV against him is the best of his career.
  7. Yes exactly! You could come up with whatever extraneous reason you want and maybe I'd buy it. But even in the worst case that might explain why he's closer to a true talent 4.00 ERA guy and not the 2.75-ish that his peripherals suggest. A .516 BABIP is insane. Position players pitching don't even get close to this.
  8. I'm sure this was discussed at length in the GDT this weekend but I was looking under the hood on what is wrong with Jeff Hoffman and I cannot figure anything out other than he is experiencing perhaps the worst luck in MLB history. By all indicators he should be one of the top RPs in baseball. The only stat that really stands out is a .516 BABIP (and perhaps his 61.6% which is laregly a product of that BABIP). This would be the worst BABIP for any season in MLB history for any pitcher with a minimum of 25 innings pitched.
  9. Checking in on our friends from Orioles Hangout lmao
  10. lol want to give this one another try?
  11. Voth will be pitching no matter what today but if the game gets out of hand my guess is that they just sacrifice him to the baseball gods by throwing him 4+ innings and then DFAing him after the game for a fresh arm. Just one of those 162 games where injuries and usage are lining up to create a garbage pitching staff. That's why winning last night was so clutch. If we have to we can eat today's game and then have a refreshed bullpen for tomorrow with Trey on the hill. But who knows, we could get a legacy game out of Seabold where he goes 3+ innings of 0 run ball and the offense puts up a crooked number and we end up spanking them.
  12. Yeah Macko is the confirmed starter. If the plan is to get through 9 innings with Macko, Seabold, Voth, Yariel, Fluharty and Fisher then we really need to hang a crooked number on Rogers.
  13. that’s a nice little win streak the Orioles had there, would be a shame to see something happen to it lmao
  14. Love the juxtaposition of Connor Seabold looking like a 40 year old dad while also having an entire sleeve tat on his left arm. Looks ridiculous lol
  15. I can't believe someone is using Batting Average in the year 2026 but there are a shitload of guys. George Springer hit .179 in low A as a 21 year old and .219 as a 22 year old in AA. Ben Rice hit .197 in the Complex League and A-Ball as a 21 year old in his first year in pro ball. There's two guys I found after looking for 5 minutes. Nimmala is currently hitting .308 as a 20 year old in AA for whatever that is worth. But in any event, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here anyway. Nimmala is a Top 50ish prospect, and a 50 FV. That's good but nothing special. Every team in the league has at least one of these kind of guys.
