I'm pro Sisco, I've been involved in numerous heated discussions concerning his throwing and other aspects of his defense.

But missing two tags is getting me worried.  A missed tag at home is a run and a missed out.  That's a lot more important then a baserunner moving from first to second.

More or less where I am.   I’ve been a supporter all along, and don’t think his CS record is very important in the scheme of things.    But other defensive failures and now a dopey baserunning play have me concerned.   Not so concerned that I want him sent down or consigned to playing 1-2 times a week.    But concerned enough keep an eye on things.

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

I don't know what to think about the stolen base attempt.  I wasn't watching and can't fathom why anyone would think that was a good idea.

He said he saw Mancini getting a huge lead off 2B and decided that if Mancini took off, so would he.

He has over 2k at bats in our system and has gotten on base at a .378 clip. 

Yay, he tore up the GCL, Short Season, A, A+, and had a good AA showing and what amounts to a fullish season at Norfolk (where he has had 1 good month.) 

Good for him. He wouldn't be the first player to tear up the low minors then struggle. 

And no, I'm not writing him off right now. But the things that were concerns in low ball (defensive) and upper minors (hitting) still appear. Even if he did change his approach and had success in Norfolk recently, there is still tweaking for the majors.

At the very least, get in a rundown so Mancini can break for home then...

Runs well for a catcher?

Judging from what I remember from last year's sprint numbers not particularly. 

This year's data, SSS of course, has him at 24.9 ft/sc.  Mancini is at 27 as a point of comparison.

Davis is at 24.7 BTW.

Not sure how his hitting in the upper minors has been a concern. OBP of .352 at AAA and .396 at AA.

Either way I’m not arguing that he is a finished product, just that we shouldn’t be overacting to every bad play he has. Especially on a team that is going to lose 110+ games, and at any time may have a lineup with several guys batting sub .200.

I don’t think we should overreact to every bad play he makes.    But like every other player, we should point them out when we see them.    Especially when they’re the deciding plays in a game.

Point them out for sure. Let those mistakes lessen your view of his long term outlook though and that’s where you lose me.

Well, personally I’ve said nothing like that.    But certainly I’d like to see him make fewer of these types of mistakes as the season progresses.

If he's up here for the remainder of the year, getting a substantial share of the playing time, and still making a similar number of bad plays on a rate basis, then yes I agree we should be concerned.  Perhaps we are all on the same page, but I think what @El_Duderino is saying and I agree with is that we should be careful not to overweight what may be a one-off (or two-off) thing.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
