Monday June 28: Orioles at Astros Are we losing yet?

[spiritof66]

Pretty good game. Orioles' lineup has only four bona fide major league hitters, but those four are getting the job done so far, going 6 for 12 with all three runs and RBIs.

This pitcher's just some scrub.

Maybe enough voters will look at home runs, rbi's and batting average over WAR and other advanced metrics. 

Who does that?

Trying to think OTTOMH.  Is that guy Walsh for Anaheim a rookie?  Casey Mize.  Haven't checked Arozarena's numbers lately.   Those are the names that come to mind but I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. 

Walsh played in 34 games in 2019 and 32 more in 2020.  I don't think he still has rookie status.

108 OPS+

-0.2 WAR tho...

I think a lot of the negative war comes from poor OF play and he is playing much less OF now than he was earlier.  So as the season goes in the hitting will be more of a driving factor in the WAR.

Thank you.  I am sitting in my recliner and too lazy to look that up myself!

Isn't there an appropriate song for you to post here?

I don't know who you guys are talking about. But BBRef has their Rookie Status (one way or the other) listed at the top in their profile.

How many MLB players have there been with the double B in the last name?
