Chavez has reverse split stats: OPS .692 vs southpaws, .677 vs. right-handers. I wd bet Buck knows that.

Also, Andino's splits are also reverse against starting pitchers and very minor against pitchers in toto.

Not that much difference really!

And? I don't see the logic in batting Chavez at the 1 spot just because the starter is a righty. The splits favor Andino too.
What other reason would Buck have? Andino hit's LHP better than RHP so bat him #1 then. This whole business about who bats lead off is ridiculous anyway. It's one freakin' AB. This way if Andino gets on base, Chavez can bunt him over or at least stay out of the DP. Buck likes the Bamdino in the 9th spot where he has been thriving. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Good point. Still, i feel more comfortable with Andino up there than Chavez. I think most of us can agree with that.

I don't. I feel more comfortable with Andino batting 9th where he has been great, and I really don't care who bats first. I like Reimold there when he's healthy. I really want to see Hardy dropped from #2 to #6, and everyone else moved up a spot.

We honestly should win today's game 8-1 with Hammel going 7+. It's what good teams do - that lineup the red sox are throwing out there is crap and their bullpen is exhausted. It's baseball so anything could happen - but today's game shouldn't be close.

It's still early in the game, but ......... reps, reps, reps. :)

Erm. This isn't the game thread.

So, a spot-on prediction made in this thread before game started isn't permitted to be commented on here because it isn't the game thread?

Not quite as impressive without Ellsbury or Youk, but that's not a bad lineup. Middlebrooks looks like an impressive young ballplayer.

It's pretty bad for the American league. Orioles should win again today as long as Hunter throws strikes and keeps the ball down.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Before Elias.  They generally haven’t missed on a 1st round or 1st round comp pick with the position players.   I trust they’ll make a good decision at #22 and #32.   Their track record in rounds 2-4, particularly on college position players and specifically the last three drafts is suspect.

      Or a Grenier/DJ Stewart type.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Anyone want to guess what it would take to get Crochet from the White Sox?  We could send SG over to ask politely and remind them of what they missed out on Ortiz.  I'm sure that wouldn't stir up a hornet's nest.

      2023 19th Round Pick (#571): Kollin Ritchie - SS - (HS) Atoka HS (OK)

      By RZNJ · Posted

      SS?   When we drafted him last year he sounded like a 3B or COF.   Well, at least it sounds like we evaluated him well.

      He's hitting a lot of loud outs and he's taking some borderline pitches for called strike 3 that he probably should be hacking at.  He doesn't really seem to be getting a ton of help from the umps with his plate discipline though.

      Maybe Hall would be better off if we had done that.  He sure seemed to make a lot more progress as a reliever than he did the last 2-3 years in the minors.   I’m all for seeing what McDermott can do in the bullpen.   Still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be interested in adding Brecht as well.   That’s not saying he’d even be ready to contribute this year but maybe. I think Sale, Crochet, and others prove that you can fast track as a reliever and still go back to starting.   Anyway, I think I’ll just leave it at agree to disagree.  I’m looking for elite talent at #22 even if the guy profiles as a reliever.   I’ll take that over a Billy Amick type.

      Everything about Adley's throwing has taken a hit this year.  His pop time used to be top tier and he's degraded to around league average.  That's on top of his propensity to throw the ball to Narnia.   Some of the throwing issues I'd excuse because no one is throwing runners out at a good clip anymore (the base size and pickoff rules really made meaningful changes there) but he's not really a plus guy with the run game anymore.  He's still elite at blocking the plate and framing so that's good.   Wieters had a pretty steep drop-off through his mid-20s defensively as well.  It's hard to be Ivan Rodriguez and be an elite thrower from the backstop for like 15 years straight.
