I wasn't aware Beckham could play 2nd. I was just about to ask who the utility guy was at this point. At least Flaherty is having a grand ol time with the Braves.

i honestly don't blame them for Flaherty. For 6 years he was absolute trash offensively and they had no reason to think that would change this year.

We don't know if it has changed.

In the last 7 days he is hitting 250/308/250 for a 558 OPS.

He did have a nice first few days.

Flaherty has a career. 649 OPS in majors.   Vielma has. 498 OPS at AAA.   I would rather have Flaherty.

Any ideas for how to hold things together while Schoop is on the DL? The thought of an Alvarez/Valencia or Davis/Valencia platoon at third is pretty frightening, and I don't think there's any ML-level talent in the system. 

This is another example of how the Orioles' refusal to invest in scouting, signing and developing high-level international talent makes it so hard to build depth in the system that's available to step in.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      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

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      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.
