He and you it would appear need time.   Rickard to show if he is or isn't an every day player.  You to see him play well enough to change you mind or confirm that he is just a 4th outfielder.

Ideally IMO Hays would hit like he didn't last year and win the right field job.   He has a better arm than Rickard.  Probably a higher ceiling.  But until Hays wakes up and earns a promotion to the majors, I would like to see Joey out there every day.

If he gets is batting avg. up a bit Hays numbers really aren't that bad. 

I'm fine with playing Rickard every day. In a perfect world he's take ABs away from players who are going no where in terms of helping the team long term like Alvarez and Valancia.

Previously throughout Rickard's  ML career, he has shown that he can hit lefties for .300. He just doesn't hit right handers good. Yesterday he got 2 hits including a homer off right handers.

Yes, if he hit the baseball instead of striking out, he would have better numbers.

He was also playing his former team, which can usually add a bit motive for some players.

He is no Jimmy Paredes or Chris Parmelee. Parmelee hit three  homers in his first two games. Parades if i remember was leading in batting in May for a little bit. But I would give Rickard a chance. He really is not blocking anyone right now. Don't think he is nothing more then a backup outfielder but we shall see.

Rickard, with his 5th homerun last night, now has more homers than Trumbo or Davis with way less at bats than either of them. And we have $200 million wrapped up in them because they use to be sluggers. Rickard makes minimum wage. Just sayin'.

And yet, it wouldn't shock me if they option him tomorrow when Colby Rasmus returns to the roster.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
