In CF, having great range is usually more important than having a strong arm.   Therefore, defensively I prefer Mullins in CF to Hays, and when they play together it makes sense to have Mullins in CF

Not as rare as spotting Kjerstad on the field in an Oriole uniform.

Hays is so talented, but some guys just can't stay on the field. Like Jeffrey Hammonds and Nolan Reimold, it sucks to see a player with so much talent who's body doesn't let them stay on the field.

At this point I think Mullins is our everyday CF for the next five years.

I don't know.... he was hitting over .800 earlier in the season.  He's been slumping badly as of late and has now slipped down to .455.  If he doesn't turn things around soon he'll be back at AAA in no time.

Yeah and what's with the sub-1.200 OPS?!

I don’t think enough could be said about Mullins’ play so far. He was left for dead a couple years ago, and last year seemed to be a one trick-bunting pony. His power from his early minors career never manifested itself and he seemed destined for a 4th outfielder role with all the prospects in the wings. Just an incredible start to the season and even if it all falls apart he’s had a top tier major league month.

Hays Mullins Stowers Neustrom

Dorrian Urias Vavra Westburg Mountcastle

Rutschman Cumberland

Mancini or Mundy

 

Make it so.

 

Is this by the end of 2022? 

I doubt we see Mundy next year. He starts next year at Bowie having not played above A-Ball and if he's swinging well, will get to Norfolk, but I'm not sure we see him in Baltimore. The rest are possible, but Rutschman, Stowers and Neustrom are the only ones I completely expect in Baltimore. Vavra should make it if he stays healthy. I'm fine giving the back-up job to Cumberland, though I am not convinced he's the answer. I love his .356 OBP in AAA, but that .188 average and inflated K rate are scary. 

I'd love to see a lineup of (or like): 

Mullins, Mountcastle, Rutschman, Mancini, Hays, Stowers, Urias, Vavra, Mateo 

by midseason.

      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?

      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.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      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.

      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?
