  1. Looking forward to posts like this every single time we lose this season.
  2. Heh. Still one of my favorite random Oriole debuts. They couldn't touch him. He'll always have that one start.
  3. This was always why calling up Kjerstad was a bit weird. I'm glad they did because he deserves it, but he's kind of just a pinch-hitter on days when they aren't resting Santander. Which is fine for now. But we shouldn't expect him to start many games.
  4. I think he will be playing over Mullins, personally. And Hays will do the same when he gets back. Cowser is the everyday LF. Just my hunch.
  5. Getting Cal involved left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure it didn't really phase the kid much, I just found it kind of hokey and contrived personally. It was just a much chiller environment when guys like Westburg came up. Or Cowser, even though he struggled. I get that Holliday is the 1:1 phenom and the media will do what they do, but there seemed little benefit to adding to that. It's a business though.
  6. I sort of wonder if Hays' role when he comes back will be to platoon with Mullins in CF rather than with Cowser in LF. Cowser has shown some ability to hit lefties, and he looks like an everyday player to me. Mullins... I just want him to stay healthy. And if that means sitting against some lefties with Hays out there, I'm for that, even with the defensive hit for the first 7 innings or so.
  7. Agree, I don't understand the desire for Stowers here. He would never play. There is no real use in having 4 LH OF on the roster.
  8. Don't make Jim Palmer point to the sign that says GOLD GLOVE. 100% chance he mentions it anytime Urias starts a game.
  9. Right? It was super gross that whole first week. His next callup will be a lot less fanfare, Urias and Mateo may be entrenched a bit more, and the team can mix in Holliday a lot more gradually than they did. There's something to be said for chucking a guy into the deep end head first, and getting the struggles over with, but... it doesn't always work.
  10. I tend to agree, but I think they believe that's the best defensive alignment when using Urias. We'll see.
  11. McKenna might be useful to start in CF vs LHP in the Yankees series. Mullins has struggled vs LHP. That way you don't have to start both Cowser and Mullins vs lefties. NOT SAYING I AGREE. But I think that's part of the thinking here.
  12. Westburg at 2B vs RHP with Urias at 3B Mateo at 2B vs LHP with Westburg at 3B My guess, anyway.
  13. It is what it is, baby. At least we kept Kjerstad up. I, and others, had speculated two things recently: 1. That Holliday would be sent out prior to the Yankees series - check 2. That calling up Kjerstad's lefty bat instead of replacing Hays' righty bat was a bad omen for Holliday - check
