Damn, good oppo-drive there, just not long enough.

Where is everyone? It's nasty out side, a great night to be in watching baseball and chatting on BSL. What the hell gives?

Weekend. Sunday afternoon games aren't so bad... Friday and Saturday... not so much.

Doing research on all our draftees. So I can bitch and complain for the next 3 years!

So Chris, that Facebook post you made today - if there's a good post we like without a picture, would you rather us not share it on FB or "Like it" until the pic/thumbnail issue is resolved?

[BSLChrisStoner]

Loney to Davis. 1 down.

True, especially in the summer I guess. We've had some decent Friday game threads it seems though, this year at least.

Haha, nice!

I don't think there would  be any issue there. It's an issue with pics or no pics in our articles. Appears many FB pages having a multitude of issues with adding links.

Impressed with how Hammel has looked so far tonight. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jennings to Machado with another grounder. 2 out.

Was thinking the same, trying not jinx him.  Scott to Hardy in the shift...O's coming up in the 3rd.

Well, by "post" I really meant article there... so would you rather not have us add links too on our timeline's given the pic issues? I've noticed the issues too. It seems FB especially like's the MBW logo, haha.

Hardy pops out. 1 down in the 3rd.

 

Ahh... I see what you saying Ricker.  If you go to share it, and the pic/icon doesn't match the article, probably shouldn't share.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dickerson with a 1 out walk.

I'm a huge fan of having so many people on the team that could steal a base at any given time (and have a good success rate)

Cool, I figured - but just wanted to clarify. Really weird issue they're having. For a company that makes billions mining data through algorithms, you'd think they would figure that out rather easily.

Flaherty fouls out, Nate up with 2out.

The success rate is key. I think you need to be successful something like 2/3rds of the time in order for the good to outweigh the bad. Not only are the O's 2nd in MLB with 48 SB's (1st in the AL), but they also lead the majors in success rate at 84%. That's pretty sick. Especially in this run environment, it's become all the more important. It's been a great turn around too, not something we have been terribly good at in quite some time.

My sense is their algorithms are being adjusted with a preference for comments without external links. It's clear when we write something with no links, it gets seen by more people.

 

Dickerson to 2nd...  need a single for a run.

I was going to say that I think Archer is getting squeezed somewhat. Even if pitch-track thinks they were both outside.
