Yep, he was great when he had a short spell on the Yes network, old school who says it as it is.... get rid of Boone and bring back Buck.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Spend all day Sunday looking forward to baseball because, for once, it's on at a sane hour... then there's a three and a half hour rain delay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Some things I'll never understand about Baseball. 2 outs, flyball thumped deep towards the LF corner. Soto goes back and leaps against the wall, the ball bobbles out of his glove and he falls on his ass as the runner is rounding 2nd base, runner advances to third and just beats the throw. It's not scored as an Error. Why? The ball hit Soto's glove cleanly. The reason it bobbled out is because Soto over-ran it but it should have been a fairly routine catch for the out. Even if Soto doesn't get there the trajectory was such that it would likely have been a simple pick up and throw to hold the runner at 2nd, so again, two mistakes on Soto's part, one should have been an out, the second permits the runner to advance after the initial mistake, so how is it not officially scored an Error?

Boo Khaki Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Pads now 0-9 in Extra Innings games this year. I'd love to know what the probability of going 0-9 was at the start of the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Chris Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Just back from 2 weeks in Orlando which conveniently tied in with the Phillies road trip to Florida. Managed to get to the 3-1 11 inning win against the Rays and was inches away from getting Darick Hall's home run ball which somehow evaded both me and the missus. At least we didn't drop the cheese steaks we had just bought...

That's the problem when you depend on analytics to build and run a team.. Sack the AI (see Cashman, Brian) behind it..... Once the highly profitable NYY income falls, maybe Hal will. If you took Cole and Judge out of the equation, how bad would they be ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people calling for Boone's head too.I think coaching is a factor. I realise the hitting coach is now gone, but look at Aaron Hicks since arriving in Baltimore - some very minor adjustments and suddenly he's a different player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 And just like that, despite their amazing start the Orioles overtake the Rays in first place in the AL East heading into a 4 game series between the teams in Tampa starting tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story is 'The Boys in the Hall' the analytics dept run the show, and Boone just plays along and get himself thrown out once a week. Too many strange pitcher changes, starter and bullpen... Hicks just fell away after getting the decent contract, plus peed off at being removed from a game (last year or before).. The slump was noticeable but new ballpark? new enthusiasm? Too many dumpster dives.. and more importantly they just can't seem to do anything with the draft... 290 million payroll and no offense ? Judge missing what is now, 49 games and still leads in home runs and RBIs? sad state of affairs.. Mind you profits and income is phenomenal, once Hal notices a drop but general consensus they won't 'sack' Cashman, he'll move upstairs.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Today’s MLB.tv free game of the day is Spencer Strider vs Zach Gallen. It is, of course 0-0 in the fourth. Gallen is perfect and Strider has punched out 9 already. It’s a pitching masterpiece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) This is probably more entertaining than watching the Rockies play.

It's weird how quickly the Rays have fallen off a cliff - long may it continue. As a Yankee fan, the sweep of the Royals was very much needed, especially with Rizzo going 4 for 4 today. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
