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

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 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.

Slimmer, leaner Davis.

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.

      I don’t see Eovaldi being dealt, doubt we deal in division and don’t want Anderson or Lorenzen for free. Scherzer yes but he also has to be ok to waive his NTC.

      Pitching This Week

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      They didn't do any of our imagined rotation reshuffling for the previous Yankees series. I'm guessing they won't this time either. I think Burnes will start Wednesday, get his ASG inning, and then they'll use the break as a chance to skip/delay Suarez and Povich. Burnes/Rodriguez/Kremer in some order start in Texas weekend after the break.

      Pitching This Week

      By vab · Posted

      If they didn't set-up Burnes to pitch vs NY when they were trailing them a couple of weeks ago, I don't think they're going to do it with, probably, a lead this weekend. By the way, Burnes could be in line for an all-star game start. I know this is an exhibition game but still quite a honor that he would probably like to be available for.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      By Malike · Posted

      Cowser worries me late in games. He's got the absolute worst clutch stats in MLB and he's one of the absolute worst players in WPA. He's the last guy I want at the plate if we need something to happen in a big spot.

      As a backup plan and for the next two years, ok.  As his big deal for a starter for the stretch run and playoffs.  No.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      By Frobby · Posted

      So far this year, the Orioles’ OF PA (1,078) have been allocated as follows: Santander (302) 28.0% Mullins (272) 25.2% Cowser (268) 24.9% Hays (136) 12.6% O’Hearn (45) 4.2% Kjerstad (29) 2.7%  Stowers (26) 2.4% Note that Santander (55 PA) and Kjerstad (17 PA) have also seen time at DH, while O’Hearn gets most of his time (225 PA) at 1B/DH. My question is, what do you think the mix will look like over the final 72 games?   Personally, I’d like to see something like: Santander 27% Mullins 25% Cowser 16% Hays 16% Kjerstad 16% With Santander and Kjerstad continuing to get some PA at DH, as they have been.   Kjerstad since his recall has started 8 of 12 games, 4 in the OF and 4 as DH, and pinch hit in two other games.    I think it’s time to play Cowser less, unless his bat picks up.  16% basically means he’s still playing half the time, split evenly between CF and a corner spot.
