I don’t think Hays needs AFL. Put him in the lineup every night for the remainder on the season and get someone else the AFL experience. Maybe Diaz, maybe Grenier.

Agreed. Hays is the OD centerfielder right now. Love the guy. He almost plays too hard. I'm afraid he's going to get hurt. Love it though.

Yeah he totally should have robbed a homer and instantly thought "Man, I wish we were over .500 so I could be excited by that." and thrown the ball in. ?

Just watched the replay, and timed it.   If he had IMMEDIATELY thrown the ball back in instead of beating his chest, it might have saved 2-3 seconds.  Tonight's game lasted 10,380 seconds according to

This makes some sense I guess.

Hays needs major league at-bats.  His injuries have only interrupted his development and slowed down his path to the majors - they have not IMO impacted him physically to downgrade his potential impact from where it was two years ago.  Hays has dominated AA, dominated Spring Training, has a large number of at-bats at AA and above, and should be (and as I advocated - should have been) in the major leagues.

I think our front office has shown with the very slow advancement of our better prospects - Mountcastle, Hays, Diaz, Stewart and pretty much all SPs at AA and above - that the name of this game is delaying service time and, as a result, most guys will get their opportunities starting next year.  I would have preferred to have this happen more this season, but that's not how the AP version of Delaying Service Time is handled.

Nice that you remembered our posts.  Many don't.

I just went back - they are on pp. 2-3 of this thread (on my phone, this is p. 12).    We were talking more about statistical performance (specifically, how he hit this Sept.) than anything else.    I still think Hays’ offensive performance won’t tell us that much, but I’d rather see him do well than poorly, for sure.   Right now he’s at .333/.379/.481, so no complaints there.   But as I said, beyond the numbers, I just like his style of play a lot.    He was already my favorite prospect (which doesn’t mean I think he’s our best prospect, just that I personally like following him), and he’s done nothing to change that so far this September.

Nice catch at the wall against the Jays. That was an amazing play. I didn't enjoy watching the beating on the chest afterwards. It was silly, and completely uncalled for in a meaningless season. Never would have happened under Buck.

 

 

I enjoyed the youthful enthusiasm.  It wasn’t meaningless to Hays.

And now on Sprockets is when we dance.  (after a catch)

Are you really comparing him to AJ10?

You said that sort of thing " Never would have happened under Buck.".  You don't think Adam's little sidestep is showboating?

Unless of course you mean Buck would have ripped a rookie for doing the type of stuff a vet was allowed to do.

You might be right if that was the point you were making.

Buck allowed AJ10 to carry on with the pie stuff, which I always though was beyond silly. I couldn't stand watching the post game pies. Beating on the chest after making a great catch, that's not my idea of baseball. Especially 100 loss baseball.

But that little dance Jones did is fine?

Odd lines you draw.

They are kids, let 'em be kids.

Vlad didn't mind.

I’m not a fan of players calling attention to themselves, but to me that was just a spontaneous moment from a very young player who made a great play.   Bothers me far less than a guy standing around posing after a homer.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.

      That is strong language coming from you.  The only recent guy I really couldn’t stand was Jimenez, though I sure wasn’t keen on Kimbrel for most of the season either.

      Did you really say tonight’s game didn’t mean much?

      What is the O's magic number for home field advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs?

      By Frobby · Posted

      To state the obvious, the magic number for home field in the WC series is now 1, with 4 games remaining.   Would love to v close that out tomorrow va. the Yankees and then relax all weekend.
