The OH doesn't have a lot to say after an 11-1 win.  11-1 loss on the other hand...

An 11-1 win is a fluke. An 11-1 loss is indicative of who we are.

Yastrzemski had a strange season in 2018, and in a good way.

 

He really struggled in the first 1/4 of the season at AA-Bowie ............ lllllll .202 BA / .276 OBP / .603 OPS lllll (27 GAMES)

He really broke out in the final 3/4 of the season at AAA-Norfolk ........ lllllll .265 BA / .359 OBP / .801 OPS lllll (94 GAMES)

Yes, he was once again not selected in the rule V draft.

I don't hate the idea of letting him battle it out for a spot on the team to start the 2019 season. I don't see him being much of anything, but while we wait on some of the "real" prospects, I don't mind giving a shot to Yastremski. I put him in a similar bucket to Rickard, Ruiz, Nunez, Wilkerson, and even Stewart. I don't expect any of them to be much, but might as well give them a chance. I'd rather give a flier unlikely to pay off to someone like that than sign a 34 year old stop gap for slightly better production.

Especially considering that the Orioles are coming off of a 115-loss season, and are in the midst of a major rebuild ........ why waste several million on a veteran instead of spending minimum salary on someone like Yastrzemski, who may work out (albeit on a longshot) well for the team in the long run with the franchise in the state/process that it is currently in ???

Somebody will be getting chances, it just may not be Yastrzemski.

vs. D-RAYS, 3/6/19 )) (SPRING TRAINING)

 

After starting 2019 Spring Training going 0-for-9, Little Yaz finally broke through with a 2-run home run with 2 outs in the top of the 9th inning, giving the Orioles a couple of insurance runs.

 

It was a line-drive shot over the right-field wall.

The Giants’ left fielders have a collective .437 OPS.    The bar is low.

6 days later, Little Yaz had an awesome game at Oriole Park in Baltimore ........ a Home Run, a Triple, and a Walk in 5 plate appearances.

His team didn't win the game, though.
