Very unbalanced.   Not good OBP vs righties.

.234/.266/.290/.556 vs righties.   Low in the order seems about right.

.422/.432/.550/..982 vs lefties.

Wow.  Maybe he should play against lefties. Then again .556 OPS is better than Martin, Davis and Broxton.

That would definitely help explain in part why Sisco went three days in a row behind the dish.  He will probably sit these next two with Severino starting both with a LHP expected.

I wonder if there are any stats backing up the day game after a night game thing. Maybe the front office has decided platoon splits are more important and just as effective in getting rest.

At least he is batting 8th. Did he bat 8th even one time under Buck?

No, not during 2013-2018, which included the abysmal 2014, 2017 and 2018 seasons, not even once. He did bat eighth some in 2011 and 2012.

I don't think he's the answer in CF.  This has to be because Hyde is tired of seeing Broxton and Wilkerson strike out.  I say give Mason Williams a shot next.  Is Mullins an option at this point?  He seems to be struggling still in AAA. I wonder if Mullins could be a throw in for a trade as he seems to be wasting a 40 man spot at this point.

May seem like an odd question, but could Richie Martin get some CF innings?

I think, with DJ Stewart on his way back, the O's want to see if Santander is a passable CF. If so, they could part ways with Broxton or possibly Wilkerson and still have room for Stewart, Santander, and Smith all in the outfield.

This. Santander has been surprisingly good in RF so far, and if he can move over to CF without embarrassing himself he can be a much more valuable player going forward.

    • There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch. 
    • We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs. 
    • Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…
    • I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.
    • It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?  
    • My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.
    • Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
