First 13 games (16 1/3 IP): .258/.324/.435 - .759 OPS, 4.96 ERA, 

Last 13 games (10 IP): .333/.455/.533 - .988 OPS, 9.90 ERA

His walk rate on the year is 5.1 BB/9. Which, I suppose, is better than his MiLB career average of 6.6. But what he's made up for in walk rate, he's fallen apart in hit rate. In the minors he's allowed 6.5 H/9. In the majors this year? 10.6. 

Now, it's not all doom and gloom. His strikeout rate is fantastic at 12.6. But that matters little if when you aren't striking guys out, they're hitting you all over.

I hope Tanner Scott is a nugget for the future...and at 23 we shouldn't be writing him off. But he's been all over the place this year. There are times he's looked absolutely filthy like on July 5th when he struck out the side on just 10 pitches. But there are other times when he looks absolutely lost...like yesterday when he only went 1/3 of an inning and allowed 2 hits (one of which was a homer), 2 walks and 3 runs in the process.

Hopefully he comes out strong in the 2nd "half" of this season.

Hey - no "polish" jokes!  But speaking of polish, how long does D J Stewart stay away from the show?

When Adam gets traded. Or Joey gets hurt. Or Mancini gets benched. Days, maybe a week.

As long as Boom Boom keeps putting up those big numbers and making those tough plays no room for Stewart.

I’m agnostic as to when Stewart gets called up.    He’s been slumping a little of late, and his .253/.362/.419 line doesn’t scream call-up.     At the same time, I believe he wouldn’t be overmatched and at a minimum would put up a decent OBP at the major league level.    So, when the situation dictates, they can call him up, but they don’t need to force it, either.

I'm curious as to why this is a factor for you.

BTW, I find a 362 OBP at Norfolk pretty loud.

I prefer to minimize the chance that a guy will struggle when he first comes up and then start to press and get out of his game.   It’s hard enough to adjust to the majors without being called up at a time when you’re scuffling in the minors.   

Stewart’s .362 OBP speaks loudly to me, too.   You look at his track record (career .360 OBP at all levels), and the guy clearly is going to get on base.   But, walks are less valuable than hits, and if he hits .245/.345/.400 as a major leaguer, that’s not all that good for a corner OF.   I can get down with a line like he has in Norfolk right now  though.

Came in today with two outs and one on in the bottom of the 8th protecting a one-run lead and coughed up a game losing 2 run homer.    

Today was a good example of managing for the future as opposed to for today.    If we’d been in the race, I’d expect Buck to bring in Britton there.    But in a lost season, you may as well put Scott to the test, though he failed it.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
