In a year of terrible lineups, this might be the worst one yet.  Had to DH Urias so we can get Owings "bat" in the lineup.

No way is it the worst, it's got Hays & Mateo in it.   Tough to be worse than a couple of those lineups in Det or Game 1 vs the Yankees that didn't have either of those guys.

Ryan and Adley will both be in the lineup by Saturday…..

Zimmermann is going to have no margin for error against the Yankees with today's Orioles lineup.

I never had a doubt.

Adley Rutschman is batting sixth tonight in his MLB debut. Dare I say the lineup is looking a little frisky tonight with Mountcastle and Adley playing.

Adley bumped Odor from the 6th spot to a more appropriate 8th.

I like it!

Now if Henderson can come up to be the 3rd basemen.  Need to trade the OF depth in minors for a second basemen.

Stinky bating 8th is not horrible just like him and Urias needing to platoon at 2nd.

First legit lineup in quite a while!

[Going Underground]

Mancini in the outfield again today.

Love the lineup. So much better than a week ago. Now we just need to get Hays healthy. Hays in and AR catching is a watchabale lineup. 

[Just Regular]

In the first 41 games, the Orioles greatest margin of victory has been five runs three times.

In the 5-0 win over NYY on Apr 17*, the team had to use A relievers Bautista, Tate and Lopez

In the 9-4 win over MIN on May 4, the team had to use A relievers Perez, Tate and Lopez

In the 6-1 win over KC on May 9, the team had to use A relievers Bautista and Lopez.

*dropping the now 29-10 NYY to 5-5

There hasn't really been any of the 16 wins where the next day the bullpen was in really good shape, or we've had occasion to use the Nice to have a Laugher Once in a While thread.    Predicting here the Bats are going to get us one of those in the not too distant future.

Rutschman is the DH again today because he played part of yesterday's game at catcher. Hyde says Rutschman will catch the next two games this week. Not really a surprise with how the organization has treated their prospects under Elias. 

I'm assuming when Rutschman gets more experience he will start catching more often.

The two games that I was at this week  Mateo looked  homer happy. Mateo either strikes out or tries to hit an outside pitch out and pops up. He did walk yesterday, so 2 walks in last 33 games  Having three guys in the lineup with a .260 or less  OBP is not ideal.Long season so maybe one of the infielders will get hot.
