Well, the Orioles weren’t going to keep losing forever so of course they edged out the Yanks on Monday, 3-2. Jordan Montgomery didn’t go deep but the bullpen was stellar. Aaron Judge hit a solo home run in the loss.
More tonight with ‘Lil Severino.
Never mind this chilly spring weather:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
That's the way to start, Boom Boom Brett
Matt joins the party
Not Judge though. Because baseball is weird
I approve of the offense getting started
Nice Hicks!
Hey rbj. Nice to see Refsnyder at first. Just feels better.
Howdy seamus
Ruh roh
Not good. Dominated rickard a touch too much.
Phew
Much better
Going on a holiday!
other than to end a game or a big bases loaded threat or whatever, it seems like the more demonstrable an umpire's strike three call, the more terrible the call
watching the O's broadcast. Announcer calls Dido Gregorio.
Nice.
like getting to the pen so early. nice margin for the yanks
I very much approve
What?? I have already missed fireworks. Should I rewind and speed watch from the beginning?
Nice, Sevvy
[18] Yup. Though I think there are morefireworks planned
See
gRUTHner
gardy
[20] Well that was prescient.
Next up, double digits
judgement delivered
Judge hitting much better with RISP last few days.
ok. O's announcer now calls him Degregorious
Didangerous?
Ack, I'm too late for all the fun?
[30] Sevvy looking good, plus see [20]
[30] See [18]! And you've missed more than I did!
Dang.
Severino might be our ace by the end of the season.
Sevy doing well
Everything coming up Yankees tonight
Wait. We're playing Oakland?
Hmm might be out
Yeah he's out.
Nerts
Robbed
Any update on bird? Looks like Austin has been hitting fairly consistently.
Good game to pad the run differential.
Youse all see Bryce Bryce Baby charge the mound against that dweeb Strickland? He better be careful, don't want any shoulder conditions when he takes over RF for the Yanks in 2019..
Wait, that can't be right. The rule is we get to bat until we score runs, each inning, right?
[42] Yeah. He's off to a 2015-type start, too.
But he won't be taking over in RF, I can assure you. And he won't hit as well as the guy who's gonna be playing there, either.
Bryce for LF, Bye-bye Brett for CF, I get dropped off in the Canadian wilderness.
Camden is empty tonight
[44] Sounds like you're pretty confident making those 'Judgements'...I love the big guy, but Harper is a generational talent..
Bryce isn't that good. He's had one great season. This is shaping up to be a second great one, but we'll see. For his other four seasons, eh, really nothing special--not even close to what Judge is doing this year.
how do they determine the upper and lower edges of the strike zone on pitchf/x and statcast? does anyone know?
[48] 136 homers and OPS+141 for his career and he's still only 24!
Yeah, so, almost as good as Judge! A fair point.
[49] I believe there are cameras in the park just for that
Ruh roh redux
Crap. There goes the shut out
[52] and the cameras determine where to calibrate the zone for each batter?
[55] Computers. Or magic
[56] apparently as of 2011 pitchf/x used hollow of knee to belt + 4" (rulebook bottom but short top), and also had issues. pretty weird. if it adjusts to each batter, why not go by the rules? i'm not sure how statcast works.
Brett: that's not how you hit home runs
Luis!
Machado for the four K night
Won't see 4 Ks from Machado again soon.
Yeesh, what a horrible throw
Whhheeeeeeeeeee....
Not good
Blegh
Jesus fucking Christ.
Crap. Would be upset if Dellin has to get up
Phew
[68] CashMoney may need to bolster the pen and add one more starter by the trade deadline..
Ouch!
i turned off the video. Didi alright?
No! Not Didi's hand!
Welp, Singleton stole my comment
WTF.
One down
Two down
[72] What happened??
[74] Ditto!
Three down! Night all
Cheers, y'all.
[50] Yeah, in the weaker pitching NL.
Wanna bet Harper says with the Nats? I'll put ichi-man on it, Jazzy J.
Chance Adams just destroyed Columbus. 12 Ks in 6 IP with 1 hit allowed. Not bad. Kid is showing some real promise.
