Did Aguilar insult your sister or something?   He got a career 107 OPS+, was at 111 last year.  He was having an off year before we picked him up, but he’s capable of getting hot and contributing down the stretch.  Maybe the O’s coaches feel they can get him on track.   

Same with Brett Phillips, right? I hope they don't give Aguilar 17 AB to prove that yes in fact he stinks. Fact is, he should not in a the lineup of a playoff contending team. He was cut by a team 20 games under .500.

Because even in this year, his worst year, he has a .800 OPS vs lefties.

Stowers and Vavra are LH hitters and their season OPS's are in the .600s.

You really can't understand this?   

Vavra sure. Stowers no. He hits lefties.

All this panicking and condemnation of Hyde over the lineup before taking the time to look up such simple stats as career and season splits vs. LHP and recent slumps--it's very disappointing to see and very unlike the ethos of the 2022 Baltimore Orioles. I haven't used the Ignore button a single time this season, unlike previous ones, but I see it's likely that I'll have to soon if this keeps up. Respect the team.

OH NO! PLEASE NOT THE IGNORE BUTTON!

What makes Vavra and Stowers such great MLB hitters? 
 

When it is all said and done the Stowers HR may be the biggest hit of the year. That’s said he is strikeout prone and Vavra is scuffling.

We'll never know if they don't get the oppotunity to show us.

They should get the opportunity in situations where they will do the best, not vs a tough LHP.   There have been other games I would have liked to have seen Stowers in the lineup and he wasn't.   Tonight isn't one of them.

Remember when Nate McLouth was 8-for-57 (.140) for the sub-.500 Pirates, the Orioles picked him up, he turned it around and was one of the keys to the '12 playoff run?

This is a joke, right?  

Just Hyde's version of this lineup.

They are trying to get to the playoffs. This isn’t dress rehearsal time. They are doing what they think gives them the best chance to win. They may be wrong but that is what they are doing.

Two RHP rest of series. 

[spleen1015]

Last time I'll say it. I agree with everything you guys are saying and all of that can still happen with Aguilar not in the lineup. He gives us nothing that can't be had some where else. The guy is a scrub.

I mean, I get it, not every lineup is going to be the A lineup.  And there's a doubleheader on Monday.  

But....JEEEZ.
