The O’s last year had played 37 games when Santander got hurt.  All those conclusions about what a great season he had were based on that much baseball.   We’ve played 37 games now, so keep that in mind when you look at Mullins or whoever.  Still 125 games to go.

My main takeaway is that Frobby is convinced that Maikel Franco is about to take off.   Glass half full.

It absolutely works both directions.   I didn’t consider my post to be negative.   Just pointing out that in a 60 game season, 37 games feel like a lot, but in a full 162 game season, it’s just a fraction that won’t really be noticed at season’s end.   Different players will get hot and cold over 37-game samples and it usually won’t prove a whole lot.

He also had a decent 2019. Markakis did worse numerous times than Santander's .773 OPS. Even if he does not sustain .890 I think it is fair to expect he might sustain .820-.840 and end up being a decent player. He could also struggle with injury and suck but I don't think it's wrong to expect him to be at least decent.

The point is of course valid, but can be considered incomplete. He was fine over 37 games. It’s only a third of a season, but he was good over 37 games, and he has been average or better during his entire time with us, when looking at the whole. There are certainly players Who are good or bad over 37 games who have a dreadful overall performance.

We’ve certainly seen enough of Sisco and Severino, and there’s no reason to keep either, unless the replacements are even worse, a bar that keeps getting lower.

We saw too much of Dwight Smith Jr and Mike Wright, and we’ve heard way too much of Melanie Newman and Scott Garceau, too.

What bothers me most is that Santander was only available for 37 of 60 games.  And now he's only been available for 16 of 37 games with no clear return date in sight.  At 24 of 37 games played, Austin Hays is downright sturdy this year in comparison.

Have you ever noticed that Austin Hays and Anthony Santander are never on the same field at the same time?   Hmmmm...?

Honestly though, it’s not far from true.    They’ve only played 4/37 games together this year, even though at least one of them has been on the field in all 37 games.   Last year, they played together in only 19 of 60 games, even though at least one of them was on the field in 51 of 60.

It’s too bad, because Hays/Mullins/Santander is a really nice defensive alignment.

If they were the same person, he would be available 110% of the time.  Wow!

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      By Frobby · Posted

      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.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      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.

      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.

      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.
