vs. ASTROS, 5/26


OFFNY

Recommended Posts

I'm glad that I always have fairly low expectations so things like this don't disappoint me. If they are good, I'm rather pleasantly surprised. I notice as I get older, I don't live and die with each game. Too many other things in life far more deserving of that type of attention, I believe. :)

I agree. No Miller this year and no O'Day next year. Might as well get that going this year...bring up Drake, Gamboa, Wright, Gausman when he is back, hope Garcia gets well and better, and get the cheaper arms going in the pen and rotation. Get rid of Matusz, Norris, trade Hunter, O'Day.... This will be more likely obviously if we fall out of contention.

Drake and Wright are already on the team.

Matusz keeps his scoreless streak. Dude is a baller.

4 of 8 for inherited runners this year. Not good, but also an extremely small sample size.

.185/.214/.296 against lefties coming into tonight, which I believe is his job.

.242/.409/.364 against righties. Too many walks, but low average and low ISO.

In other words...he's been pretty good, but this is the game thread. Not a good place for actual analysis.

But it is not for a lack of effort.

Because we're better than the Marlins which means we're supposed to beat them every time, duh. That's how baseball works /s

This is either brilliant in its laconic humor, or indicative of a child who has stolen the babysitter's iPad...

    • 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.
    • 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.
