just tuned into the orioles game and they had a shot of the new owner walking up and down the aisles in the stands giving out merch from the team store...new era hats, things of that nature. i also blinked and they'd scored a couple more runs.

norby got called up and is batting 9th tonight; Rodriguez on the hill and 7 of 9 in the lineup were drafted and developed by the O's. Pretty neat!

Not to mention the product of the Orioles system starting for the other team!

Gotta feel good for Austin Hays!

you do!

The Jays broadcasters pointed out something about Rutschman tonight: his K/BB ration last season was 101/92 (really good), this year it's 42/13. That's weird...I'm pretty sure that ratio tends to remain relatively stable in most cases. Obvious there's fluctuation, as players concentrate on power or plate discipline or contact or whatever, but that's drastic. Even weirder--it suggests he's more concerned with power this year--his batting average is up 25 points.

Connor Norby has had a plate appearance in which he has not struck out
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 4 June 2024 01:20 (two weeks ago) link
xp to clemenza -- the whole team has taken a much more aggressive approach at the plate, they're last in the AL in walks
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 4 June 2024 01:21 (two weeks ago) link
I checked that--they're 9th with 512 (one below league average). So not last, but on the aggressive side, yes.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 4 June 2024 01:27 (two weeks ago) link
Oops--maybe I should check 2024, not 2023...
― clemenza, Tuesday, 4 June 2024 01:28 (two weeks ago) link
You're right: 4th in runs, 2nd-last in walks. Whatever works, I guess.

norby's first hit is a homer!

Conor Norby has had a major league plate appearance that was most definitely not a strikeout!

Love to see a little middle infielder hitting the ball that hard, gives Brian Roberts

Vibes?!

roberts was more of a speedy spray hitter in the minors, though. norby's power is legit.
― j.q higgins, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 11:29 (one week ago) link
roberts hid a billion doubles though and really smacked them off the wall, at least that's how I recall him
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 15:09 (one week ago) link
I'd forgotten about him--geez, 50+ doubles three times.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 17:02 (one week ago) link
re: roberts
for sure. he was a doubles machine! he grew into that, though. i'm just saying norby has shown good power in college and the minors.

Anyway I love watching this rendition of this team, delighted that Hays is hitting again (after an insanely godawful start he was normal-bad in May and has OPS 1.471 in 21 PA in June) but y'know it kind of seems like the Yankees are never gonna lose again

...but last night was one of the craziest games i've watched in a while. definite playoff feel.
god, perez, though. just not a guy i trust in high leverage situations.
