I'm expecting a split in favor of Severino. 

I would start Sisco 75 percent of the games.  We are the worst team in the league I think it is time to give Sisco  a chance to see if he is a big league player.  Severino didn't have great minor league stats and is 2 years older.  If we were in any kind of hunt for the playoffs it might make sense to play Severino more but we aren't so let the prospects play every day.

He's been basically overmatched since AA. A high K rate with little power is a classic example of a guy who just doesn't have the bat speed to hit at the major league level. Chance Sisco AAA Slas

Honestly, Tony, you sound a bit defensive (no pun intended) in this post and a few others in this thread.   I didn’t see this game, and I will acknowledge your point that Sisco has a poor arm and his

Tony - I probably should know better than to insert myself into a dispute between you and another poster.    I don’t know anything about past debates between you and MurphDogg.   But after he com

I don't think it will have anything to do with playing the guy who gives you the best chance to win, nor should it.  I'm just not sure the organization values Sisco more than Severino at this point.  They may consider Severino a diamond in the rough and Sisco a defensive liability who still hasn't proven he can hit major league pitching.  

There are guys who figure it out a little later (offensively).  Maybe Severino is that guy.  I've been clamoring for Sisco to get a chance too I just don't think its as easy as making him the starting catcher because we need to find out what we have in him.  We need to continue developing Severino as well.  He's not Sucre.

It seems unlikely that someone who's about to turn 26 and has a career minor league OPS of .642 is developing into a solid major league hitter.

Sisco has been better v lefties than righties, but not significantly so. 

I think if you look at his overall minor/MLB record he looks like he has a fairly typical platoon split, but a lot of variability due to small number of ABs against lefties in a lot of years.  My guess is that they usually rested him against his weaker side.

Well, small victories I guess.  Sisco just looks like an overmatched little leaguer.  

I’m happy because now we can see once and for all what we have. 

I have major doubts myself. 

I would think Hays at some point is next to arrive and that may be it except for the pitching shuttle.

I think we all know what we have in regards to Sisco.

OTOH, Severino has absolutely mashed lefties this year with .351/.405/.649 splits against southpaws but has struggled against righties (.226/.333/.371). A straight platoon would make the most sense.

Yeah, just not excited to see Sisco back in the bigs.

I'm excited about not having to watch Wynns hit.

I agree with both of you. I'm the OP of this thread and I think it's good that the organization/fans did not give up on Sisco. That said for whatever reason I'm just not exactly buying what he's done at AAA this season. I just would rather see him do it for longer. That said, Wynns is disappointing/boring and it will be more interesting to see how Sisco fares this time around.

Why do you say this?    I certainly don’t know what we have in Sisco. In particular, I don’t know if his offensive performance in the majors last year is an indication of his vulnerability to major league pitchers, or just a blip.    Sisco could be an .800 OPS hitter or a .675 hitter.     I’m hoping for the former, worried about the latter.

I say this because to me, he just looks unimpressive in practically everything he does.  I'm not blown away by what he's done in AAA in 2016, 2017 or 2018.  Sure, he's done well this year but I'm not getting my hopes up.

He had 18 plate appearances in AAA in 2016 with a .958 OPS. I had to go look at his stats because your post made it seem like he was repeating AAA for the fourth consecutive season.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
