Lakins was outer half the entire AB to Urshela, never changing the the eyeliner to come inside. Part of it is Severino not being very good at sequencing and the other is the guys throwing three ball don’t have an idea. 

This. Later pitch, Seve put the glove down and away, and Laikins missed way up and in. He STILL just fouled it off.

This team can't back up the mean Oriole image on the field. I think something like this is more appropriate.

Freddy Galvis becomes the 6th Oriole to bat cleanup year. Franco - 15 games Mountcastle - 11 Mancini - 5 Severino - 3 Stewart - 3 and now Galvis

Why Plutko wasn't used for 2 or 3 innings we'll never know? Seems like the perfect role for him. Then he bails on Sulser quick when he's been better than Lakins all year. 

Hyde wants to use a bunch of relievers which means he takes the chance that one will throw up a cookie like Lakins did.

Agreed. There's your "quick pull". Let him pitch 2 at least.

I'm sure the media will ask probing questions as to Hyde's strategy.

As I recall, when Plutko joined the team, much was made of the fact that the Orioles needed guys who could pitch multiple innings, and Plutko supposedly was able to do just that.

Can't do it when he's pulled after only one inning, though.

Agreed. When you use  a succession of relievers who aren't very good -- and these guys after Plutko aren't very good -- the chance that one of them will screw up is pretty good. As long as you're not witching L/R, you're better off using fewer mediocre pitchers in a game.

I just keep wondering if Mounty can hit ML pitching. 

I think he’ll turn it around.  He’s got all the bat speed in the world.  He just needs to adjust to the off-speed stuff.  The guys I worry are the ones who struggle with the plus fastball (e.g. Chance Sisco).

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Can they? - Yes it's possible. Anything is possible.  Will they? - I have my doubts. The team was abysmal (minus Cedric Mullins and O'Hearn's pinch hit appearance) with the bat in their hands yesterday. And for many of our hitters this was nothing more than a continuation/carryover from the second half of the season.

      Right now Geronimo Gil is better than Adley.  But I'm not gonna kick Adley while he's down.  Let him get a reset, work on some things in the offseason, and hope that this 2nd half ends up being just an aberration in a good career.

      Which is crazy since they put 7 on the board vs Ragans hitting all singles. They had an approach that worked and then they went away from it.

      It’s what this board does.
