Some of the posters here remind me of the Carrie Fisher character in “When Harry Met Sally”: “he’s never going to leave his wife, is he?”    Well, duh no, he isn’t.    When Elias traded Mancini a

The gist of this entire thread for many posters seems to be: 1.  Play your nine best players everyday and never give any of them a day off, because we’re in a playoff race, dammit! 2.  The b

What the heck is the ever-loving fascination with Tyler Nevin??? Does he have dirt on both Hyde and Elias?

Nevin at DH?!?!?  Good Lord we need some better batters on the MLB roster.

I am sick and tired of seeing Nevin.  But, he is starting because we are facing a lefty tonight.  And aside from Diaz, Chirinos, and (Westburg?), we don't really have any other options with Mancini gone.  Now, it is definitely poor roster management that this is the case, but these are the facts unfortunately.

On the bright side, Vavra is at 2B and Odor is on the bench. For what we've got it's not a bad lineup but I can't for my life understand why Stowers isn't up yet.

I had check it because I didn’t believe it. Call up Stowers now this is a joke. Nevin is an AAAA player and why not give a chance to a player who has promise.

Or call up DJ Stewart if Stowers is going to remain at Norfolk? Stewart is an upgrade over Nevin plus you can hide him at DH/1B with Mancini gone.

Mullins sitting in favor of Nevin playing is piss poor management. Mullins facing a LH is preferred over Nevin, plus our defense significantly improves. Hyder is back I guess

PATHETIC AGAIN

C'mon, why is McKenna leading off?   Put Mateo there!  Why's Vavra 8th?

Nevin, seriously?  I never thought I'd be pining for the days of DJ Stewart but holy fried ****, I'd take Stewart over him no problem.  Even though Stewart is a lefty, I'd rather see him tonight vs. Kikuchi as a DH over Nevin.

I don't typically get uppity over lineups but these past two days are terrible.

I agree with that statement, but maybe they want to give Mullins a day after three days on turf? Don't know.

At least Phillips isn't starting.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By interloper · Posted

      Sheesh. Once again, I do not mean any offense Tony, and this was in no way a personal shot at you. "Skepticism" was apparently too harsh of an adjective here. My apologies. And I am not suggesting you weren't aware of his age or upside. Of course not. Nor am I trying to take any credit for pointing out his age. I never said that and I'm not sure how you're taking that from what I wrote.  Just a side note: I feel like I've been getting a lot of downvotes from you lately, and I even tried really hard to explain that I was in the wrong with the Basallo post I referenced, and was right to get a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure where I went wrong of late, but I hope I can get out of the doghouse at some point. I feel like my posts are being written one way and read another way that I'm not intending, so maybe I need to evaluate how I'm wording things.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Thanks for the kudos, all! Last year, at A+, Basallo slugged .688 w/ an OPS of 1.131. At the age of 18.  That OPS put him 5th overall (minimum 50 PA). The names ahead of him (in parenthesis are prospect rankings for 2024): Xavier Isaac (#43 prospect overall) - 19 years old Aaron Palensky - 24 years old Jonathan Clase - 21 years old Agustin Ramirez - 21 years old That's it. Behind him were names like: Drew Gilbert (#39), Wyatt Langford (#6 before season started, 21 y/o), Junior Caminero (#2), Colson Montgomery (#9), Matt Shaw (#40), James Wood (#3), Jett Williams (#31)...I can keep going.  https://milbtracker.com/hitter-stats?levels[0]=A%2B&sort=ops&sort_direction=desc&org=&timeframe=2023&min_walk_percentage=0&max_strike_out_percentage=100&paginate=612

      Why Bochy walking Kjerstad to load the bases made me smile...

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I'll be honest, he's surprised me a bit with his defense and speed this year. His spring speed is 67th percentile and better yet, he's looked pretty decent, if not a little awkward, even while playing giant left field in Camden yards. Now, saying that, his reaction times have been quite poor (-2.9 ft/sec) and his burst is not great (-1.1 ft) but his routes have been pretty good and he's still getting used to MLB stadiums with upper decks. Heck, he even maxed at a 96.1 MH throw which is more arm strength then I've seen before.  So I have to give him some credit for doing some things this offseason to better his defensive abilities. Even Colton Cowser, who is is 9 OAA this year in the outfield and covers 34.8 ft/sec (1.3 ft better than average) was 1-.2 last year so sometimes it takes a bit.  Is Kjerstad better suited for RF than LF in Camden Yards, sure, but his defense has actually been ok out there. He's playable and should get better.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By orioles22 · Posted

      Kremer hasn't been very good at Norfolk. How much longer can he stay there? Maybe we make two trips through the rotation until the All Star break. I also wonder if Burnes makes the AL squad, and he almost certainly will, does that mean he has to skip that last Sunday start?
