Not sure where Urias fits into the future infield, but he's certainly going to be part of next year's conversation.  Westburg, Henderson, Vavra, Urias, and Mateo will make for an interesting mix.

With Mancini gone, a pretty good assumption, who backs up at 1B next year?  Someone not named Nevin, I would hope.

Urias is under appreciated by some because he did not come from our system and was a waiver claim from St Louis.  He's been pretty unlucky this season so his numbers don't look great overall, but

Maybe not, but as @Tony-OH explained earlier in this thread he had been unlucky earlier this year. Urias is in the 73 percentile for average exit velocity, 90th percentile for hard hit percentage, 79t

He’s a second baseman.  That’s where he should be. He has always hit, so that will come but you need to put him at second and leave him alone.  He doesn’t have the arm for the left side of the IF

I would guess we find a rental 1B/DH type until Kjerstad is ready to move into that role.

Beast Mountcastle for 162 games and 150 RBI's!

Maybe they ask Stowers to practice a little.    He could have Trey Mancini's life experience in reverse; play OF your whole life and get asked to learn 1B at the last minute.     I'd guess that'd go better for Stowers than it did for Trey.

It could even be Adley if we're really not catching him 130 times.   Young Posey at his most energetic put out a couple 125 C, 25 1B type seasons, and 25 games would be more times than I'd want to see Mountcastle sit next year.

Totally forgot about Adley having played at first.

Urias’ OPS is up to .767 after tonight’s game.  I think that’s second on the team currently.   

Looking at the lineup tonight, only Odor and Mateo were under .700 OPS.   There’s no big star, but a lot of solid hitters.

Any of those players can play 1B, not a problem. I'd probably put Vavra there unless he is DHing.

Vavra and Westburg should be up yesterday so you could start getting an idea. Santander will probably be gone as well so we will need a DH

He’s only behind Mountcastle (.776) and Hays (.773). No idea why Hyder is batting him even lower post All Star break.

Odor was batting way too high in the lineup last night. Can't "protect" Hays with Odor. Screw righty-lefty-righty, it's ok to have 3 righties in a row against a RH SP. We obviously won the game, but Odor should be batting no higher than 8th.

For most of the season, 2B/3B/SS were a black hole in the last three spots in the lineup.  I’m pleasantly surprised that on any given night, two of those positions have been very productive with the development of Urias and Mateo.  When Westburg and Henderson arrive, they may be utility options or trade bait.  But they are fun to watch for now.

Urias is 6ft even. He can play 1B with Mountcastle needs a rest.  Event with the potential arrival of Vavra, Westburg, and Henderson, I think Urias is pretty much in the lineup every day between taking his turns at 2B, 3B, SS, 1B, and DH.

      Will the Orioles get home field advantage during the Wild Card?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Wait, are you saying that it's the combined H2H? I guess that does make sense. So, in that circumstance, in a 3 way tie...the Tigers get the #4 seed, the O's #5, and Royals #6?

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Bubic is really good. Zerpa has a pretty bad K-BB rate on the season though and gives up hard contact, so it looks like that may just be a good stretch for him. His xERA is 4.49 on the season. Lynch is solid but he’s a low K, low BB lefty. Definitely not bad, but he’s going to give up contact.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Yeah, I was tracking #1 overall at some point, not next year. Unless Basallo still has rookie eligibility, I don't see anyone having a chance after next season.

      Cano has been great since June 1st even if the last week has been rough. 11.27 K/9, 3.41 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.73 SIERA. Perez’s ERA is worse than last year but his K-BB rate, FIP, and xERA are all better than last year, while his xFIP is slightly worse. I don’t feel notably different about those two this year than heading into the playoffs last year. If anything, having Cano as a 7th/8th inning option instead of the closer like last year is probably better.  The pen isn’t great but I don’t think it’s that bad. Cano, Perez, Soto, Dominguez, Coulombe, Webb, and Akin have combined for a 3.37 ERA and 9.81 K/9 this year with the O’s. They’re missing a go to back end guy (which is evident when pitching to guys like Judge and Soto) but they have a number of solid options that can strike guys out. Guys like Kimbrel, Irvin, Baker, Smith, Tate, Ramirez, and Heasley really hurt the overall bullpen ERA and they won’t be pitching in the playoffs. I’m definitely taking them over KC’s pen and I’m not sure it’s that much worse than any other AL playoff team’s besides Cleveland.

      Your conclusions are 100% correct, but it has nothing to do with division records in that 3 way tie It is head to head results among the tied teams: 1) Det 10-9 (4-2 vs Balt, 6-7 vs KC) 2) Balt 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det) 3) KC 9-10 (2-4 vs Balt, 7-6 vs Det)

      I assumed the OP meant next year.  I don't think there's anyone on the international side who has a chance at this point to blow up that quickly.  I agree that if we're looking beyond just next year then yes, that's more likely.

      You are wrong. If Detroit wins out and the Orioles are swept (and KC doesn't sweep), we fall to the #2 wild card due to our tiebreak loss to Detroit head to head.  Detroit is the #1 wild card in that case.  We are the #2 wild card.   If KC wins 1 or 2, they are the #3 wild card, otherwise Minnesota is the #3 wild card. If Detroit wins out AND KC wins out and we are swept, it is a 3 way tie for the 3 wild card spots.   Based on head to head among tied teams, we are 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det), KC is 9-10 (2-4 vs us, 7-6 vs Det), and Det is 10-9 (4-2 vs us, 6-7 vs KC).   So Det is the #1, we are the #2, and KC is the #3. So to be the #1 wild card and get home field Tuesday, we need either one win or one Detroit loss.   KC's results are irrelevant to whether we get the #1 spot or not, although they could jump us and Detroit by winning out if we lose out and Det wins out.
