Kyle Stowers 2022

[Orioles Jim]

 

We called up Terrin Vavra in the middle of a hot streak (he was OPS'ing 1.1.12 over his last 7 games in the minors and .910 over his last 28) and we see how well that worked out for us.

On the other hand, Rutschman was called up during a cold streak and while he of course did eventually right the ship, he was definitely hurtin' for a little while up there.

I'm all for getting a guy while he's hot up here.  Both Henderson/Stowers are hot right now (and Westburg is decidedly not), so I'd bring both of them up, IMO.

LOL does he qualify for the team lead with only 38 PAs? Phillips only has 37. That’s quite the SSS you’ve built your decision on. 

Yet It seems to be a large enough sample size for you to call him a terrible hitter. Go figure

What are you talking about? I’m saying he’s a poor hitter based on 314 career PAs where he’s put up a .610 OPS. You’re using the 38 PAs this year as an argument.

McKenna posted  a .558 OPS IN 2021

McKenna has thus far posted a .694 OPS IN 2022

He has also posted a .927 OPS in 35 ABs against lefties.

All in a whopping half season of combined MLB play

I think it's a stretch... in fact a little silly to dismiss that as a terrible hitter

But whatever.

Yeah. McKenna isn’t as bad a hitter as some on this board make him out to be, but it’s not the strength of his game either. 
 

on the other hand, lumping him in with nevin/phillips (and odor who wasn’t even mentioned), is equally ridiculous 

He’s having a much better season offensively than last year (.694 OPS vs. .559).  At .694 you can justify carrying a defense-first OF.

So glad his bat isn’t in our lineup.

I am scared to death to post anything critical on here but seriously, what is going on?

Odor is vital to the teams success.  Duh!

Why are you afraid to post anything critical?   Plenty of people are wondering the same thing.

Haha I thought my mildly critical post of Bradish would end up being the worst aging post of the night but you win. 
 

for the record game winning home run and all I am ready for Stowers to come up. Send down Nevin and Odor to the bench

That's the correct move as I don't see the need for Nevin on this team, especially at the cost of not having Stowers on the roster.

I think we will see Stowers next week or the week after.

Pretty sure this exact comment has been said for about a month and a half!

8/24 is my guess.
