Totally agree. The thread title should be changed. Its very misleading -
I do think it's worth tracking to see if Mountcastle continues to struggle against righties. O'Hearn has been killing it and could play 1B, though he is a bit a downgrade defensively from Mountcastle, which has to be taken into consideration. I'd like to see Kjerstad get more at bats to see how he does with regular at bats, but the Orioles are going to have to be willing to take Mountcastle, O'Hearn, Santander, Mullins and Cowser out on occasion to make it happen. But if Mountcastle starts to really struggle again against righties, then it makes sense to concsider benching him more often against righties and sliding Kjerstad into that DH role. -

No if I drew a conclusion from 125 at bats it would be jump to conclusions. Instead its a developing situation that we should be aware of. -
This is a good point. Umpiring is under the microscope and having that little box on the TV screen that is not 100% accurate doesn't helps either. Plus, you have pitches regularly coming in at 95 MPH and higher and breaking pitches and changeups that move upwards of 60 inches at times. That's a tough gig. Then you miss a call that is one inch off the plate, and the fans are screaming that you need to lose your job. I've seen multiple times this year and strike being called that looks low on the TV box, but when I went into statcast that uses the actual strike zone for the player, it was a strike. I agree though with the folks that say the bottom tier of umpires should be placed on probation" and if they miss too many, that they either need to go back to AAA or they need to be "released," just like when a player can no longer perform at that level.
