His OPS just jumped .900 with a bullet. If he's still over .900 at the end of May, I'll be impressed. The combination of the power surge and decreased strikeouts has me cautiously excited but I've been burned too many times before.  

Sisco only had 160 at bats last season.  I don’t know how many times you have seen anything as he is still young and has consistently hit in minor leagues.  Wynn and company aren’t going to help win games now or in the future.  Time to let Sisco be the starter in the bigs and see what we have,

He didn’t hit that great in 2017 in AAA.    He didn’t hit anywhere last year.   He didn’t hit at all in his first 11 games in AAA this year.    It’s not unreasonable to want to see more than a hot two weeks before calling him back to the majors.    I’m excited he’s heating up but don’t mind if we just let him succeed in AAA for a while.

His defense is awful. sure, find a place for him to play, but catcher is not it.

Can we find out the quality of the pitching that Sisco is hitting against?

AAA pitchers are a far cry from those in the show.

Cease today, who is better than anyone in the Orioles rotation. But that was just a single I think.

Except he is better than everyone else. I hear Caleb is better and Wynn’s is better and Sucre is better but then they all let easy past balls and wild pitches that should be stopped and make bad plays,  I will take Sisco over any of them.

That sounds like a reasonable plan.

If his defense is better than everybody else,(a sentiment with which I do not at all agree) then we need to find somebody better. But his defense isn’t better than everybody else’s. It’s not good at all.

Give this a read please.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/is-jesus-montero-more-valuable-at-catcher-or-dh/

I will read it as soon as I get home, but defense from catcher is very important. A bad catcher causes problems everywhere on the field, and you have to hit really really well to make up for it.

Besides, we can just stick him at first base. He doesn’t have to catch.

I don’t know how long Severino is going to stick around, but Severino/Wynns is fine for now.

I would take everything atomic says with all the salt in the ocean.

Every catcher makes bad plays at some point. Unless you wanna provide evidence that the other catchers make bad defensive plays at a higher rate than Sisco, you aren't convincing anyone.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      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.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      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.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
