Buck hates Kim.

Seems legit. Bench the guy that homered to score the only two runs (and provided the winning margin) against the Diamondbacks, when the rest of the line up was useless. Same guy that is mainly used pinch hitting lately because he has one of the better bats going.

Also, can anyone verify that Paul Janish actually exists?

Is Pena still on the team?

He's two for 10.

Kim's three for 11.

Trumbo is two for 13.

You can't explain this one away using small sample size player matchups.

You can't explain this one away claiming defense.

You can't explain this one away claiming reverse splits.

Man I thought everyone was over-reaciting concerning Kim, but I really don't understand not being in tonights lineup

Also wonder what kind of numbers Flaherty has against Sanchez since Schoop has been an automatic out for the past month

Oh well let's win a defensive struggle... assuming we can keep them from hitting any fly balls to Trumbo

Pedro does have a HR against Sanchez, but I see no reason to play Trumbo over Kim if you are going with player matchups.

Buck on "Trum":

“Trum came here, we all knew he had a chance to hit and that’s where it fit for us in the outfield,” Showalter said. “He throws well and he’s engaged in it. He wants to be as good as he’s capable of being. And he’s done some good things for us out there.

“He’s not going to try to make a case that he’s a Gold Glover, but he’s been adequate for us, and especially when you couple the offensive things he’s done, I would have been real happy with it coming out of the spring because there was some real unknown. He’s been good.”

And Mancini.

Mancini is right-handed. I understand why he is not in the lineup against a RHP.

You don't want Trumbo's bat? Alvarez hits Sanchez well.

Ideally I would like to play them all. Right now, Pedro has cooled off a bit. My ideal lineup vs RHP would be Kim LF, Bourn RF, Trumbo DH. Sucks to lose Pedro but at least you get your leading OBP guy and your leading HR guy without sacrificing too much defense.

      Schedule challenges

      By SteveA · Posted

      Taking an off day to take a look at how the schedule looks the rest of the way.   We know a little bit more about the talent of various teams now than we did at the start of the season, but it's a marathon so there is still a lot we can't be sure of. Breaking the schedule the remainder of the way into sections: First, the Orioles are home for 12 of the next 18 games over 22 days starting today, and have three days off in that span.  And 12 of the 18 games are vs teams with losing records, while the others are against teams who are 19-18 and 20-18 at the moment.   So the Orioles have a chance to continue to build wins and continue that .600+ play during this favorable stretch.   Then, of course, there is June.  There has been much talk of June already.  There is only one off day in the 30 day month.   We also play May 31, so that is a stretch of 30 games in 31 days between May 31 and June 30.     And of those 30 games... 24 are against playoff teams from last year!   And the 6 that aren't are against Cleveland and Yankees, who have the 2nd and 3rd best records in the AL this year!   This is why we need to keep banking wins and getting further over .500, because June looks like a real challenge.   But does it get easier when June ends?   Well, certainly the grind does.   In the next two months (I'll call  July 1 to Sept 1, a 63 day span that ends on a Sunday, the next two months)... the Orioles have 10 days off.   Of course 4 are the All Star Break.   But at least there are some breathers for the pitching staff.   But in those 63 days, the Orioles only play 22 home games.   There are two 6-game West Coast trips (counting Colorado as West Coast), a 10 game Cle/Tor/TB swing, and a Tex/Mia swing in the heat of August.   So while June lacks days off, July and August have a lot more travel and a lot less home cooking.   Labor Day then begins a 3 week stretch, with 3 off days, 12 home games, and 6 road games, all against teams that are currently no better than 1 game over .500.   So it is similar to our current stretch.   If we are near the top of the division when Labor Day hits, this will give us an opportunity to take control of the division.   The last week of the season is spent on the road, potentially against two teams we could be competing with for playoff seeds... the Twins and Yankees.   Those games could be huge.

      On MLB just now the host were asking what should Baltimore give up to get Miller from the A's

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Man this is a tough one.  Yes you could trade for a elite stud who may, or may not put you over the top.  But do you give up a potential stud and a cheap replacement like a Heston K or a younger guy for the next 5 years? This is why Elias gets paid the big bucks.    I fully admit that Miller looks completely and utterly awesome.

      Yep.  That's something I would find a way to back up on iCloud if possible.

      On the record Poll: Hays or McKenna

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I have no problem being contrarian, but this one is too early/soon for me. Hays can at least be our 2nd best defensive OF.

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      This is a bench position for sure. The Milkman is the starting LF now. Career wRC+ vs LHP: Hays - 111 McKenna - 82 McKenna is a better defender by the fielding stats, but I don't trust him. He's a goofball. The starting OF defense is strong anyway so we're not desperate for a defensive replacement.

      Rosenthal @ The Athletic: Why top hitting prospects are having a harder transition to the majors than in the past

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I agree and honestly at least some of this is imo just a result of age.  He is a youngster and as such he lacks the experience dealing with MLB pitching at an elite level.    Only thing that can help that is experience and aging.....like a fine wine.    Same with an NFL QB or WR when drafted.  Most struggle as rookies but the talented ones learn and get better just through the aging process.   Which this is totally OT but take Anthony Richardson this year in your fantasy leagues.  IF, big if, he doesn't get hurt....he is going to have a season that few have ever seen in the NFL imo.

      I'm  surprised they weren't tossing around ideas how Cashman could steal him for the Yankees.
