And you were right he probably should not have been out there! My hunch was not that he would be better but just that they would use the opportunity to rest Santander a bit while auditioning the kid.
-
Kjerstad is not remotely similar to Holliday in age or MiLB experience. It's OK to just admit when you are wrong sometimes.
-
Looked like the early '23 Grayson. Problem was missing in the zone leaving stuff middle middle to get absolutely hammered. I thought maybe he would have success against Trout since he has similar combo to Suarez of FB up and CH to RHB's. Guess not!
-
Definitely. Only question is whether we run out of outs. Grayson put us in a pretty big hole.
-
Seems like Adley is going to be a base hit machine this year.
-
Mountcastle is hitting well too. I'd rather have Mountcastle vs RHP than O'Hearn vs LHP.

Thrown off by the deflection?
-
He and Gunnar had a laugh after but the fooled/recovery and decoy scenarios could both be funny.
-
I thought maybe that was intentional. I honestly couldn't tell.
-
Looked like Holliday might have decoyed the runner there. Either he was about to miss it, or he intentionally looked like he was about to miss it... Then reached back at the last second for the catch and out.

Interesting
-
At least he got through a decent number of innings. He couldn't be worse than Johan Ramirez. If they don't let him extend his rehab I'd stash him in the bullpen for now.
-
I agree with the top two Bradish if healthy is #3 for sure but we don't know how he is going to hold up. I think a good case could be made for Suarez-Povich but they are higher risk than Kremer-Irvin who are at least solid

A philosophical question re offense and defense

True. So any combination of guys will score runs with the same net run differential. I guess part of the game would be to construct a roster where you have players with a bunch of different skillsets, and then maximize each player's advantage depending on the situation. That is also definitely something the Orioles have done very well under Elias/Hyde. -

Ah, but what if you have a hitting catcher who needs to DH 5-10 games per month?
