I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

Henderson should come up to play third or SS.  If he needs to fill in on the right side here and there, thats fine but that's not where he should or will play long term.  

Agreed.   I think he should be on 3B, with Urias taking over at 2B.

Good. Now, stick him at third, Urias at second and leave it alone.

 

Also, if Mateo continues to slump, give Gunnar some SS time as well.

I don't think they like Urias' SP turn at 2B. I could be wrong, but they may like Henderson there better and if so, he could debut there even though longterm he's going to be a 3B.

The 2B DP turn is quickly becoming Hyde's TTTP. :)  But I agree. If they're going to replace Odor at 2B, they want it to be a guy who has a strong arm. I think we'll see Gunnar at 2B mostly, with some starts sprinkled in at 3B. That probably changes next year, but who knows.

Except you aren’t screwing up an entire pitching staff.

Batting 6th, playing third base.

Urias is at DH and Odor stays at second.

No Stowers.

Every time I read someone say Odor stays at second when they see the lineup I can't help but thinking back to Moneyball.  Pena at 1B no Hatteberg 😂

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      This.  Baseball is a game of failure, but my goodness these guys went above and beyond in that department. Productive outs shouldn't be that hard.  Watch Witt in the first inning of Game 2.  And while the two playoff games perfectly told the story of the 2024 Orioles offense, I am hopeful that national stage embarrassment provides a real learning experience and motivation for fixing what is wrong with them.  As much as I am sure it hurts to watch your own hand being broken, Cowser should be watching that AB every single day from now until next October. Same thing with Adley channeling his inner Chris Davis and staring at that 2-0 meatball like he has never seen a major league pitch before.

      Could fit the profile Elias likes of veteran free agents who might be willing to sign for few years at higher AAV's. I love the splitter. I'd be interested. Free agent means no posting fee, correct? Not that it matters.

      All the talk about facing LH pitchers and needing RH bats to match up - I think it’s a bit overblown. Our approach was terrible and our guys failed to play team baseball just as much against RHP w/ platoon advantage. Guys just consistently failed to do their job.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I agree on both parts here. I’ve been reflecting on my love for baseball. Even the postseason helped me realize I enjoy the slow burn of the regular season.  I also am far away from MD and for me Baltimore is part of my cultural roots (both parents from the area). So in some sort of way, like you said, maybe there’s a healthy separation and more tolerance for failure. Maybe even nostalgia, lol. But I’ll take it.

      I don’t live in Maryland either, but I still have family that are there and most of them are more into the Ravens, yet they send me O’s stuff all the time — which really isn’t a great pulse for O’s fan expectations. I think from the time I lived there until now (which is a few decades), Baltimore is definitely more of a football town. Maybe my family does reflect the times? As for OH and representation, that’s a fascinating question. To me, the OH feels like the place is generally a group of the hardcore of the hardcore baseball fans, with some part timers mixed in. The differences tend to break on personality types (cynics, optimists, realists — and a handful of comedians). If Elias only tweaks a couple things and doesn’t make any fundamental changes (like maybe drafting more pitchers) or pretending nothing can be done about RISP — then any glow about the rebuild will truly fade, at least in my house.

      The lack of velocity will be issue I think in majors at his age but the secondary pitches must be very good.  It is interesting that in Japan the splitter is like the cutter/sweeper is in MLB.  It seems Asian league goes more for the up and down movement while MLB pitching strategy is the lateral movement of pitches.
