Really wish Buck would've stuck with Nick in the leadoff spot. He thrived there last year before the CC fastball ended his season; and his #s in the leadoff spot this season have been good as well.

Which would you prefer leading off, .325 OBP 1 SB; or .337 OBP 30 SB?

Although Mark Buehrle was shelled in his last outing against the Angels, he had had 5 consecutive solid outings previous to that.

The steals are irrelevant to me. First, because McLouth has hardly run in the 2nd half(only 6 steals so far) and second, because steals will play anywhere. They don't have to be in the 1st inning.

For whatever reason, Nick has been better in the leadoff spot than other places. And for the record, Nick's OBP in the leadoff spot is .352 vs Nate's .337 OBP from the #1 spot. And Nate, albeit in small sample sizes, has been just as good hitting 7, 8 and 9 as in the leadoff spot.

So for me, it's about trying to squeeze whatever bit of production I can out of the players I have. I know that all studies say batting order is irrelevant but sometimes guys are just more comfortable/more successful in one spot in the lineup vs another. That certainly looks to be the case for Nick this year, why not try it?

      I'm curious to see if it is immediate IL or downshifting to Irvin's swingman role is possible. He has been preventing runs early in games, and if it is just stamina he might still be a puzzle piece in the upcoming stretch. Obviously possible something acute happened on one of the pitches yesterday, if so that might make him a 2025-2026 two year kind of guy like Mahle or Woodruff from this past offseason if somebody really likes him.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Tampa also rolled the dice on him one offseason with leaving him off the 40-man roster when his name was prominent as a top Rule 5 candidate. Nobody did the Anthony Santander thing out of A-ball with a catcher. He was a high school bat who commanded a $1.6M bonus, and some of why high school catchers maybe have 2nd place to high school pitchers as a risky demographic is they take so long to develop. The Mariners have Cal Raleigh now and Harry Ford later.    It makes "who will the backup catcher be in 2025" less of a mystery starting out the offseason.

      Jud Fabian, 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Sure, he’s by no means somebody that the Orioles should be overly resistant to part with if he’s a necessary piece in a deadline deal. But he’s not superfluous in the system so he’s not somebody I would expect they look to offer up as trade bait. I think the Orioles will try to deal from their strength in infield, corner OF and C, and avoid trying to deal any pitchers or CF. But if the team they’re trading with is demanding pitching or CF in return, Fabian and others the Orioles would probably prefer to hang onto will be on the table. Like when the Orioles traded Zach Showalter in the Flaherty deal last year, likely because the Cardinals were demanding pitching.

      Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.

      It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now.

      Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.

      Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.
