Cal Ripken Commercial, not teasing Gunnar extension...wow
Sports Guy replied to LookinUp's topic in Orioles Talk
Thinking that tweet was about an extension for Gunnar is pretty crazy, to put it kindly. -

It may just be semantics but they aren’t going to trade Kjerstad because OHearn is here. They could elect to trade Kjerstad for pitching they need and perhaps knowing OHearn is here makes it easier to do that but I think they would prefer to have Kjerstad at his salary vs OHearn at his 2025 salary.

Yea..I wasn’t as vehement as others and I believed I mentioned that he did have some good batted ball data but it definitely was a signing that left most of us a little befuddled, especially because they were giving him gtd money and seemingly, a gtd roster spot (didn’t get it on OD but did shortly after) in a year where they were supposed to be contending.

Yes…getting on base is a good thing. His OBp isn’t that good this year and it was similar last year.

No not really. Gunnar needs to walk more though And he will.

Well, lack of opportunity is part of it. He actually has pretty much always had good hard hit numbers. My guess is that he has been one of those guys where his team focused on what he couldn’t do vs focusing on what he could do.

He threw 71% of his pitches for strikes but only missed 3 bats. He has to miss more bats than that.

Santander is an incredibly streaky hitter. He is always up and down. Last year he would go on a complete tear and then look like garbage for 40 at bats. Everything, good and bad, is exacerbated early in the season.
-
Missed a ton of bats and had his str% up to 63%. Good to see there.

Amazing what happens when you give talented players actual playing time
