Austin Hays

Hayes should be starting tonight, bring Smith off the bench as needed.

Wanted to say I heard some good things about him. Likable, good personality.  Was good to fans.

The O's have to keep playing those veterans.  #respect #veteranleadership #nuggets #yougottotry

Rumor is that Seth Smith is hitting .260.  However, nobody has actually ever seen him get a hit.

Is there a joke here I'm missing?

It means that he is batting .260, but it is difficult to remember anything he has done at the plate to impact a game.

[Norfolk orioles]

Literally ANYTHING. 

 

He may had a clutch hit or two a few months ago but I'll be damned if I remember them.

Well, he's only had 54 at bats with RISP, and he does have an .800 OPS - which shows he has done his job pretty well offensively on the season - particularly in getting on base.  

[eddie83]

He is starting. Hitting 9th. At some point I would be right. 

[Pat Kelly]

Looking forward to a couple of key plays/hits.

I think all 3 of his in play outs have been to short. Not bad. Once he gets the timing down a bit, those are going to be in the gap in left center or in the bullpens in Camden.

I think he's seen at least 5-6 pitches each at bat, that's a good sign.

Should get some cheap infield hits with way he hustles. Pretty solid throw in from RF.

Is it too soon to cut the playoff talk and make the rest of the year about seeing what Hays and Sisco can do?

I think it is too soon for Buck.
