I saw a stat where Chris Davis has a higher batting avg that Manny since last July. He was raking before the All-Star break. Ever since then, he has not been very good.

.798 OPS second half of year.  

You do realize his defense still provides great value?

The guys that keep picking the O's for last place may have finally hit the jackpot with this years rotation and offense. :$

And if I predict a blizzard 6 years straight I will hit it one year.

2016

July .204/.288/.337/.625
August .312/.320/.616/.936
September .241/.282/.389/.671

2017

April .224/.343/.424/.767
May .210/.259/.429/.687


Four of the last five months and had an OPS under .700 in three of them as well as hitting well under .250 in those four months. So, yeah, he's been god awful four of the last five months of regular season play.

Thanks for the info.

I'm talking about offense. You know like I do, offense is what he will get paid for and what we need from him.

Would have been nice to see a little more aggressiveness on that blooper.

Smith was timid and didn't charge it.

Schoop didn't take the right route (which I realize is difficult running with your back to the ball).

Right now how many quality MLB pitchers do we have? Guys who would be on most rosters. Bundy, Miley, Gausman, Brach, Oday, Givens.

Virtually all of them, including Jimenez.

Looking more and more that 2014 was the best chance for this group make the world series.  I would love to be wrong, but don't see how they improve enough.  Without a healthy Tillman and Britton, and an inconsistent Gausman it is tough sledding.

If things really go bad you have to at least explore what Machado, O'Day, Brach, etc., get you in return.

I rarely do this but I have consigned the O's to TV #2 with no sound and am firing up the last episode of Homeland on the big one.  No spoilers please.

I feel bad for that one guy that has the thing happen to him with the stuff.

I just binged Homeland like February and got caught up in time to have to wait for the last 4 or 5 episodes. Really good show.

I watched the first four episodes in semi-realtime... within a day or two after they aired.   And I just wasn't getting into this season.  So I kind of put it on the back burner for a while and watched a bunch of other shows.

Then a week or so ago I re-started Homeland and found it really picked up and got interesting.   I almost stayed up an hour later than I should have watching the finale last night but I had the willpower to wait for tonight.

    • I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad  
    • What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.
    • I think Adley is the DH tomorrow. 
    • Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?
    • Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy. 
    • The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.
    • Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
