A question I think is important to his future: How well is Mancini hitting as a DH? I tried MLB and CBS and their stats did not give me a sorted stat for when he was just DH.  Does anyone have a source that separates this?

Baseball Reference breaks this out:

For the record, the Cubs won 71 games the season immediately before Theo was hired.   So they were 10 games worse than before his first year with the Cubs.   He took payroll from $136 mm to $86 mm, th

But 49 PA are not enough to reach a conclusion.

You're certainly correct.

FWIW, he has an .836 OPS as a DH this season, his highest for any position in 2018.  In 197 PA at DH for his career, he has an .897 OPS, higher than as a 1B or LF.

Can't draw a conclusion from it, but the (limited) evidence most certainly doesn't indicate that he's worse as a DH.

How about Bobby Dickerson for manager?  He is the only coach I want to keep.  The team is going to suck.  Maybe give him a shot.

I think this is a decent idea.  Bobby managed in the minors for 10 years and is well respected by the current players.   I do think Russell is good with the catchers. He might be a good coach to stay also

What the heck happened to him in the first half?

It’s not really the first half, more like the middle third.

First 41 games: .787 OPS

Next 58 games: .550 OPS

Next 36 games: .973 OPS

I wish there was some obvious reason, but I think the truth is that Mancini got into a rut, started pressing and had trouble breaking out of it.   It happens a lot in baseball.

I thought I remembered him having some sort of injury.   I'm wondering if it was a nagging thing that he's finally over?

Yeah, this has been discussed before, and I think it’s unlikely.   Mancini hurt his knee on April 20, and had a .771 OPS at the time.   Over the next 19 games, he put up an .806 OPS.    Then his slump started.   I don’t see a connection, nor do I see why he’d suddenly get better on some random date at the end of July.

OK...I thought the slump coincided with his injury.   Nice to see that he's "recovered".

Sounds like the pitchers made an adjustment, and he was slow making his adjustment.

      Various Org Leaders for 2024

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      The fact that Justin Armbruester led all Orioles minor league pitcher with just 119.1 is pathetic! The pitching development guys are babying the SPs. This is emblematic of a philosophy that is destined to fail. Guys need to pitch to get better. Guys need to learn to get hitters out the second or third time through the order. I think this is a combination of a bad philosophy and not drafting SP talent in the early rounds. Broken system.

      The wall was yet another case, in the case of many’s. Where Elias thought he was smarter than everybody  and decided to make hitting homers to left field almost impossible and so in his “genius”he only drafted left-handed hitters. Hence, we have trouble hitting left handers ( the only good thing that came of this is they got Gunner Henderson Earlier than anybody else was willing to draft him. ) No right handed batter would sign  here ever unless it was an extreme overpay. I have hated that wall from day one and I don’t think it lasts much longer. Once they start doing the major renovations, I guarantee it comes in maybe not the extent of what it was before maybe  but it’s coming in.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      And that's fine. I'm not trying to pick on you, because there are literally dozens of posts I could have responded to but didn't, but it seems to me a lot of people are asking for contradictory things.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Something that was an open question during much of the year was if Burnes' line about not trying for strikeouts was BS. Broadly I think he gave the market evidence in the end game that he is a master craftsman, and of course 30 year old pitchers have to regulate intensity to complete the season. The 2021 season was just weird.     At ages 25-26, he got most of a year off, and then he got babied like basically every pitcher in the world in Year 1 after COVID. In 2022 they pushed him for more, and the per-batter effectiveness eroded, setting up that notable 2023 Arbitration hearing that helped make him a 2024 Oriole. A GM wanting his services....don't nitpick.    There will be bidders. Unless Rubenstein is planning for three or more mega contracts at the end of the decade, I think there are places it makes more sense to go.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Pickles · Posted

      It only takes 2 arms if you'd have him in the rotation over Suarez. Personally, I'd have Suarez in the rotation over him going in to next year as things stand now.

      I feel like they did it because our pitching sucked. Now it doesn't suck, so let's split the difference. I think it would be a mistake to go into 2025 with the current park dimensions.
