Kind of frustrating to see Gentry starting when he's an automatic out most of the time

Based on his career, Smith is an automatic out vs lefties.

We're facing our third lefty in four games.

Smith just had a 2 RBI double off a lefty 2 nights ago.

For his career he OPS's .611 vs lefties.

Gentry .691 career vs LH (.494 this year in just 40 ABs).

And Gentry is the better defender.

Whatever the "correct" decision is... we will have someone pretty bad in the lineup.

Let Gentry get a chance to get a little PT, as soon as Santander is ready to come up it's bye bye Craig.

When making a decision who to play today, it is always best to factor in how they did in 2013.

Wonder if the O's would consider calling up Chris Johnson to start DH against lefties with Mancini in LF. Dude has a 1.065 OPS against LHP this year.  Do this till Trumbo gets back. Appreciate Gentry's game winner the other night, but I don't enjoy seeing his name in the starting lineup.

There was an article this morning and Smith has a good average this year versus lefties. Gentry is hitting .180 against everybody

He has 18 at bats vs lefties this year.   Is that enough to prove he now hits lefties after he didn't for 494 at bats previously?

When it's close, or undecided, on the offensive side, I say go with the defense.

And he has as many hits in those 18 at bats as Gentry does in his 40 vs lefties.

Geez, here we are, 5 HRs away from 10,000, and the guy I picked in the contest to hit #10,000 is out of the lineup with a sore knee.

He better get back in that lineup tomorrow because that's when we're probably going get it.

The bottom half of that lineup leaves a lot to be desired. We really could use a solid bench bat. 

I'm fine with the bottom half of the lineup considering Mancini is out.  Rickard batting sixth leaves a lot to be desired.

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
