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 real

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.

Knowing Hays this slight discomfort will result in him being out for 8 weeks. 

These were my thoughts when I saw this happen. It didn’t look like a bad pull. Anyone else I wouldn’t expect to miss much time (if any) but with Hays it seems like a multi-week absence is in order.

I like Hays, but he is the Glass Man to Cal's Iron Man.  How many times did Cal play through a sore hamstring, bruises, stiff joints, etc?

How many times did Cal follow up a 11-WAR season and an MVP with hitting .251 with 14 homers?  Streak was cool and all, but man did Cal have some wild swings in performance.

I'm not sure those wild swings in performance would have been quelled with a day off here or there.  

Even if he wasn't getting it done with the bat his defense still brought a lot of value.

On your first point... we just don't know.  Could be that he alternated hitting .320 and .250 because he changed his stances every 20 minutes on the advice of Cal Sr.

Second point, yes, his defensive value helped smooth out the curve.

I'm inclined to agree that the changing of the batting stances at the drop of a hat played a part.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.

      9/19: No Sweep For You

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I commented  in another thread that as bad as the Orioles have been and they have been bad the one thing I will say about them is they are avoiding sweeps for the most part. They are losing series left and right but they aren't getting swept.

      Os vs NL

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.

      I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.
