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.

I don't think a new stance is going to help Davis with what ails him.  

Obviously not, but Davis never changing his approach at the plate ever was a bit perplexing. Not saying that would have fixed him, but almost every other hitter would have done something different to try and bust out of that rut.

Somewhat ironically, the oft-injured Hays saw his first bit of action in his return from the IL because of an injury to another player during the game.

John Means post-game comment on Hays: “Once he gets hot he usually doesn’t stop.   I’m looking forward to watching him over the next month.”

Hays on getting in the groove: “Before my last at bat last night I told Cedric Mullins I felt like the game had been speeding up on me and I wasn’t having comfortable at bats.   He told me to try walking up to the plate more slowly than I usually do and just take things in, and that’s what I did and it worked.   Always good to take advice from a guy who’s hitting .350.”

Reminds me of last year when he missed the first half of the season, started cold, and then from 8/13 thru the end raised is BA from .197 to .279.  If he can stay healthy, he should be the most complete player we had since Machado.

Talent is there, no doubt about it with Hays. But until Hays can stay healthy, he's going to more resemble being the next Nolan Reimold. I believe to this day that Reimold would have been an all star player if he was capable of playing 140 games a season.

That was my paraphrase.   Here’s the actual quote per Roch:

“I felt good the first couple games in Miami, and then felt like I was trying to do too much,” Hays said. “I was a little bit out of control for some reason. Things were speeding up on me. Before my last at-bat last night, I was talking to Cedric in the dugout and I told him I felt like I just wasn’t seeing the ball that well, and he’s like, ‘Why don’t you just try walking up to the plate a little bit slower, and all the stuff you do before, just try to slow it down.’ And I saw the ball a lot better my last at-bat last night and then I just felt very comfortable today.

“It’s definitely good to talk to the guys who are hitting .350, because there’s something they’re doing right. So, yeah, he gave me a good tip.”

Hays is kind of tantalizing me at the moment.   He’ll have 1-2 good days at the plate followed by 1-2 bad days.   His strike zone judgment is very much a work in progress.   I feel like he could take off at any time.     

Right now he’s at .260/.316/.479, and he’s been good for 1.2 rWAR in  only 19 games played.   The BB-ref defensive metrics really like him, to the tune of +6 Rtot, +6 Rdrs.   On the Fangraphs side, they have him at 0.9 fWAR and +3.7 UZR.  Statcast’s OAA dissents, scoring him at -1.   One thing to remember is that OAA only relates to catching the ball, whereas Rtot, Rdrs and UZR taking throwing into account.    Hays has two assists already in his 19 games played and he’s holding runners at a very high rate - only 2 of 17 runners have gone two bases on a single or three bases on a double.    

He’s exciting to watch and I feel the best is yet to come.

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Flightless · Posted

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
