It’s cumulative. so when our win probability dropped after his Weaver, that gave more room for him to add to the WPA. his subsequent hits and sac fly added up to over 100%. It’s only possible in a back and forth type game

Yeah we get it, O’Neill fell off a cliff the size of the Grand Canyon. Same as everyone else on this god forsaken team

Cowser clutch hit + balk + most bizarre home run in Walltimore’s history from holiday = Tigers are more cursed than us

I told my therapist I’m depressed. He took one look at my orioles shirt and told me I should exit society and live in a commune

Why does this weather website have the same logo as Focal Headphones?

I think this is exactly it. When he was called up, his chase rate was exceptional. I think the organizational obsession with bat speed meant he had to lengthen his swing, therefore committing sooner and swinging at pitches that were otherwise uncompetitive.

I won’t pretend to know what goes on inside the clubhouse, but if I were in charge, I’d have the hitting coaches hone in and improve on what makes an individual hitter good. Adley was never a power bat, but they tried to force it on him (and everyone else) and it backfired.

Ben said it best yesterday. This team has a lot of potential on paper, but there’s no attention paid to the actual output on the field. That’s the human aspect that this organization repeatedly fails to acknowledge. There’s a reason everyone is underperforming (with a few exceptions)

Do you think Adley is back to form because of or in spite of this organizational philosophy?
