Love this guy.   He’s a really fiery player who so obviously loves playing baseball.    Was watching his homer on the highlights and he was just grinning ear to ear as he crossed home plate.    I really like his skill set, but beyond that he’s just fun to watch.    I’m really hoping he can stay healthy and show us what he’s capable of.

It tells me that they believe these are very good players and that our organization has the ability to develop them well.   They can sort out who to keep and who to trade for other assets later.

Did you read how his Dad came up with his HR ball?   The whole family couldn't sit together because of Covid restrictions so Dad was out in the outfield and everyone else from his family that came to the game was behind home plate.   And somehow his Dad wound up with the HR ball.

I think he's shown us the 2nd part of the bolded, it's just a matter of him succeeding with the 1st part.

Yep..I have full confidence that he is the best CFer on the team and in the organization and that if he stays healthy, he will be an asset.

 

I do not have any confidence that he can stay healthy and become the asset he can be.

Hoping he proves that wrong because, like Frobby, I’m a big fan.

Other than the injuries whats not to like? Hays has got speed and power and plays a premium defensive position. Now If they could find a SS with those attributes. 

I’d love to see a little more plate discipline.    That’s his one weakness, other than injuries.   But I feel if he can make modest strides in that area he could be an outstanding player.

I'd hope to see a little more power this year. Pretty small sample size for him last year but he didn't really tap into the power he's displayed at times. He only had 6 extra basehits.  I think he has the raw power and bat speed to improve those numbers.

In an ideal world that would be nice if Hays could draw walks in addition to all his other skills. But as it is, I think hes a solid player. Probably not an All Star. unless the O's have no better options, but still a valuable player.

Hayes is projected to OPS .770 Austin Hays Stats | Baseball-Reference.com (baseball-reference.com)  If he does that and stays healthy, we got ourselves a good situation in CF going forward - with more upward potential.    

Adam Jones' career OPS is .771. If Hays can throw in some plus defense he could stick as part of the next core and replace Jones' production. Some of his antics are a little much but I'd rather have too much energy than too little.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
