I don't know how meaningful that is, since it counts taking a lead for good in the first inning the same as the 9th inning. It would be interesting to break down his GWRBI to see what the actual situations were. They killed GWRBI as an official stat because it was very misleading.

Any home run that ties the game or takes the lead is meaningful.

Some are more meaningful then others, but they are all meaningful.

Giving your team a 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0 lead in the 1st inning is meaningful.

I just want to bump this thread as a not-so-subtle reminder to the small minority that is throwing dirt on the grave of Adam Jones's career after a slow four game start.

He is hurt like Chris Davis was hurt in 2014. I would not hope for much until he heals.

He wasn't done.

He also hit a 2-out, 2-RBI single in the top of the 9th inning to give the Orioles the lead.

...so he's not hitting with frequency, but that last home run was launched. Might've been the longest hit by an Oriole this year -- waiting for official word. That is a good sign that his rib problem is over.

Early in the game he had yet another at'em ball as well. He's been hitting the ball with authority on some LDs, but they haven't been falling in. I think he will turn around. Not concerned yet. The only cause for concern MIGHT be the increased GB rate others have cited, but I don't think that will keep up.

Roch had this to say:

Jones was 3-for-27 tonight before hitting a 443-foot home run in the fifth inning

AJ has the longest homerun this season, according to ESPN Home Run Tracker, but it was on 4/16 and it was 460.

Core muscle strains have a habit of lingering. And a slump in April-May (especially with missed ABs at the beginning of that) always looks a lot worse than the same slump in July-August.

Hopefully this is him breaking out of it, one good-great week will make those numbers look a lot more Jones-like.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      By Hallas · Posted

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/

      No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
