Who would have thunk Markakis would end up with more HRs than Hardy this year.

Unfortunately they both suck as power hitters this year. But I still have a warm and fuzzy spot in my heart for both of them. But good lord I hope they both eat some wheaties soon.

(vs. NATIONALS, 8/04)

Another knock for Markakis tonight.

The round-tripper brought the Orioles to within a run of the Nationals, at 3-2.

Yesterday's round-tripper won the game (along with the pitching and the defense.)

Nick is starting to heat up.

Nick had his fourth four-hit game of the season yesterday.

Has anyone noticed that Nick is hitting .436/.532/.641 in August so far? He's on fire, after a cold July.

By month:

March/April: .300/.360/.360

May: .299/.348/.425

June: .284/.362/.422

July: .231/.292/.317

August: .436/.532/.641 (through 8/10)

I noticed for sure, of course, playing in my fantasy outfield, means I watch him pretty closely. :)

Nick is now on a 9-game hitting streak, and has reached base safely in every game in August. He's hitting .400/.486/.567 for the month.

That's because, I finally benched him on my fantasy team, as his production was slumping.

Once I did that, he kicked it back up.

My apologies for not benching him sooner, now if only I had Chris Davis on my Team. :)

      I just couldn't do 8 years. Having visions of Chris Davis. Paying him to sit on his couch.

      I agree. I would do that in a heartbeat.

      Any Interest in Kevin Pillar or Aaron Hicks?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      So it’s better to have a top 50 prospect sitting on the bench versus guys that could actually fill a role and be a late game sub?  Keep in mind that they were good enough for two of the best teams in MLB last year.  This fan base is becoming entitled. I guess for the bullpen it’s Mason Miller/Josh Hader or bust.

      8/210 isn’t getting him. Thats just offer 26M a year. I said I would go 5/200. Go big on the AAV and lower on the years, in hopes to get 2-3 very good to elite years. If Im doing 5/200, it would be hard to not do 8/210.

      Austin Hays 2024

      By interloper · Posted

      It's a bit of a hot take, admittedly. We'll see. Mullins is having a weird season. He's got 6 bombs and 6 steals, which checks out with peak Mullins, but then he also has sub-.300 OBP and a .709 OPS. He's got a .310 OPS vs LHP.  So, is he hurting the team by being out there vs LHP, or is his defense making up for it? I'm not really sure which is more true right now. But if the team is looking for ways to get Hays ABs, that's one avenue they could explore.

      Tracking the Orioles' position players by 27-game segments

      By Frobby · Posted

      Some of you will recall the thread I did last year tracking the Orioles' position players by 18-game segments.   I'm doing something similar this year, but I decided that 18-game segments were a bit too short, so I'm using 27-game segments this year, dividing the season into sixths.  The data I'm tracking appears on the chart below: Name        PA   rWAR   Rdrs    OPS  fWAR   OAA    wOBA    xwOBA Rutschman  119 1.2 2 0.816 0.9 1.2 0.361 0.383 Mountcastle 103 1.1 1 0.906 0.6 -3 0.393 0.395 Henderson 124 1.8 0 0.959 1.9 2 0.408 0.389 Westburg  101 1.4 1 0.903 1.3 1 0.394 0.422 Cowser 80 1.0 0 1.037 1.4 3 0.439 0.390 Mullins 100 0.7 1 0.717 0.7 2 0.311 0.304 Santander  113 0.3 0 0.728 0.3 1 0.319 0.302 O'Hearn  71 0.7 0 0.929 0.7 0 0.403 0.502  Hays 50 -0.8 -1 0.311 -0.7 -1 0.149 0.286 Urias 44 -0.1 0 0.484 -0.3 -1 0.215 0.214 McCann 43 0.0 -1 0.651 0.0 -0.3 0.284 0.323 Mateo 39 0.3 0 0.733 0.3 -1 0.328 0.292 Holliday 36 -0.5 -1 0.170 -0.3 3 0.089 0.155 Kjerstad 5 -0.1 0 0.000 -0.1 0 0.000 0.057 McKenna 1 0.1 0 2.000 0.0 0 1.000 0.281 It was quite a first segment, with five players (Henderson, Westburg, Rutschman, Mountcastle and Cowser) tracking at 1.0 rWAR or better for the segment, and three (Henderson, Cowser, Westburg) tracking at 1.0 fWAR or better.   Four players (Hays, Holliday, Urias, Kjerstad) were in negative territory, but the positives way outweigh the negatives.  Not coincidentally, the O's went 17-10 during the segment. Looking at wOBA vs. xwOBA, the ridiculous stat is that even at .403 wOBA (3rd best on the team), Ryan O'Hearn is underperforming his xwOBA by 99 points.   He's just been hitting the ball on the nose at a ridiculous rate. On defense, there are some major disagreements between Rdrs (which feeds into rWAR) and OAA (which feeds into fWAR).  Rdrs rates Mountcastle at +1 while OAA has him at -3; Holliday is at -1 Rdrs and +3 OAA; and Cowser is at 0 Rdrs and +3 OAA.   I must say, my "eye test" is more in agreement with Rdrs than OAA in all three cases.  (Note: there is no OAA for catchers, so I'm using Fangraphs' overall defense metric there for Rutschman and McCann.) It will be interesting to follow the ups and downs of the players as the season progresses.
