This is true - I'd like to see DJ out there both games.  To be honest, I don't know if the two Marlins pitchers the Orioles are facing are lefties so that could play a role too.

They have a RHP tonight (Neidert).  And they are using a Lefty tomorrow afternoon (Rogers).

By the way, has anyone noticed that Mullins has hit .158/.158/.211 in his last 19 PA, spanning five games?   Demote the man!   Off with his head!

Geez Frobby, everyone knows you have to have twenty plate appearances before you can start making declarations about a player.

Take off the 5-5 game in Boston and he's not a .300 hitter..

Galvis will play just about every day regardless of how he is hitting. Who else are you going to give semi-regular playing time to at SS when his bat is cold?

Valaika is not the greatest SS but Urias is more error prone at SS than Valaika.

Neither player should be getting semi-regular playing time at SS. If they are the options, they need to keep trotting Galvis out there regardless of how deep of a slump he may be in. And if he goes on the DL, play Martin there for a week or two

Going against a LHP today. Urias will play at 2nd. Do we play both Hays and Mountcastle, and give Santander the day off?  

Santander seemed like he rolled his ankle pretty badly last night at minimum.  I would expect him to be out for at least a few days if not more.

What, exactly, is the point?

That in a SSS, one game can make a player look much better than he is.  
 

Chris’ point isn’t that we should take away Mullins 5-5 game, just that we need to recognize that any time we are dealing with extreme examples (like judging a player on 20 at bats), we need to remember that SSS mean nothing.

Mullins is off to a great start regardless but if he goes 0-5 in that game, he is hitting  258.  If he goes 2-5, he is hitting 290.  So few hits can really skew stats early on.

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
