Remind me the last time we had a HR as huge as Jones' shot in the 8th. This team hasn't had a 6 game losing streak since Aug 22-28, 2011, Buck's first full season.

Well, Lough's game-winning walk-off jack against Boston comes to mind. That was in extra innings and was on the heels of a three-game losing streak. But this was equally huge, and arguably huger given the five-game losing streak.

This 2-run shot against Mariano Rivera in the top of the 9th inning in 2013 was very big:

It won us the game, and it prevented us from being swept by the Yankees.

Adam Jones scored all three runs today. Praise Adam Jones!

I almost started a thread on Jones, but this is a good place to discuss it. I often feel that as Jones goes, so does the team. He plays hard every day, slumping or not, but when he is hitting well it really seems to me that it picks the whole team up, and when he's struggling, the whole team starts to press. Hopefully today was the start of a hot spell for Jones and the team can ride along with him.

      You don’t downgrade Mayo because of the defense? Or do you think that the plus arm will allow him to play in RF?

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      I'd handicap it differently, even though Austin hit the ball more solidly the last week. After his 10-day stint on IL, I think there is perhaps a 85% chance he goes on rehab with the residual chance due to a gaping hole in the Orioles lineup/bench which has been exposed. Assuming he goes on some form of rehab assignment, there are at least 3 groups I'd offer as qualitatively different outcomes: 1. He goes on rehab for 5 days or less and either a hole/spot develops or he starts hitting right away 2. He goes on rehab for between 6 and 20 days (max rehab time for a position player) and the Orioles use much more, if not all of the shot clock before making a decision.  It could be a matter of Hays not hitting particularly well in the minors or the Orioles playing well with everyone healthy. 3. The club reaches the end of 20 days and uses the remaining option on Hays to leave him there because the O's don't have room given the set of quality OF/DH/1B they have and don't have an easy roster move to make.  The Orioles may be forced to trade him if this occurs, but I would not be shocked if he returns when an injury opens up a spot. Please let me know if you can think of any other possibilities that are not subsets of these 3 outcomes. If I am handicapping the 3 options, I'd say it's: Return to the big leagues immediately after 10 days: 15% Short rehab assignment (option 1): 50% Long rehab assignment (option 2): 25% Optioned after rehab (option 3): 10% Effectively, the Orioles will have already optioned Hays to the minors for a reset with option 2, but under the guise of the injury.   I'd like to hear from as many other posters as would care to handicap these 4 outcomes.  Simply post your percentages for each of the 4.

      I don’t know what Friedman or Stearns make. But I’m sure that will be the comp used by his agent. And whatever that number is I’m sure Rubenstein will work off of that to ensure that he stays running the Orioles for a long time.

      That was fun to watch. Seems like some hitters whiff on fastballs up in the zone because they can't help themselves. Trout watches fastballs up in the zone because he knows he can't hit it. It's the perfect pitch to Trout, but the margin for error is razor-thin.

      The 2 most overall talented players in the org are Holliday and Gunnar. Adley is the most important. You can argue that Basallo has the highest ceiling. Mayo is right there with them.     This is no shot at Cowser, HK or anyone else.  These guys are just that good.

      Kjerstad Norfolk splits (2023-2024) Vs lefties wOBA = .347 xwOBA = .336 K% = 21.5% BB% = 5.6% Whiff = 28.7% Hard hit = 41.0%   Vs righties  wOBA = .426 xwOBA = .377 K% = 20.5% BB% = 9.9% Whiff = 24.3% Hard hit = 47.2%
