Aside from the check swing he had a few other borderline calls go against him.  

All in all I think he's having terrific ABs.  You can see the elite plate discipline and pitch recognition.  I don't think he's barreled up a single ball yet though.  Just missed on a few of them.  I expect he'll struggle for a few more weeks and then start to turn it on.

True.  I look back on Cal's career and often wonder what people would have thought about him if the OH existed during his career. Can you imagine 1989?  "He's hit .258 for the past three years co

But my point was very obviously about Adley.

It wasn't a generalized statement.

I don't think that, for instance, Creed Williems should be learning in the majors.

 

Considering your past comments about Gunnar Henderson, I really wasn’t sure.  In any event, we agree on Adley, so enough said on this.

I'm still feeling pretty good about the idea of signing 2021 Gunnar to a very team friendly 10 year contract.  😉

Some players you can push and some you can't.

The game is faster in the majors. The pitchers are better.  Adley is a talented guy.  He will adjust.   Give him time.

Why would anyone send him down.  He is as good right now as Chirinos and Bemboom both offensively and defensively.   Just chill and watch Adley learn the league.

Not that I think he's overmatched but even if he is, how is going back to the minors going to solve the issue?

He has to learn how to adjust to major league pitching.  The best way to do that is by facing major league pitching.

If the scouting reports were all wrong and he just doesn't have it more time in the minors isn't going to change that fact.

All good points. The Orioles are not competing this year, so at the end of the day, this year is all about his adjustment to the major leagues. Let's see him get 200 PAs under his belt and access a bit.

My guess is with a combo of the heat and Ray pitching he is sitting. Possible everyone’s favorite McKenna even gets a start. 

And we're likely getting a Chris Owings sighting tonight with Robbie Ray a southpaw getting the start. It worked out Monday against LHP Rich Hill....well except for McKenna and Owings not doing anything against a supposedly favorable pitching matchup.

How often did he ambush first pitch fastballs in the minors? It feels like every  count he has 2 strikes on him.

From what I've read not often.

I know he was running into a lot of deep counts in the minors last year, just like he is in the majors this year.

It's almost as if he's collecting data.

Certainly possible. Odor for what’s it’s worth has been better vs LHP than RHP. Maybe no Owings? 
 

Mullins sat Monday. I think it will be about whether Santander starts or not. If he starts then no McKenna.

He has had some real good at bats fouling pitches off with 2 strikes. Just doesn’t feel like so far he has had a ton of 2-0, 3-1 counts.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I hope that Elias is not that dogmatic when it comes to FA pitching acquisitions. If you don't draft them and you don't sign them, you are limiting top pitching acquisitions to come only via trade. That strategy is not sustainable. Another Burnes type trade will hurt us bad. I would to go after any of the first four names on your "not in play" list. If we are letting Burnes walk out the door, most of these names cannot give you anywhere near the production and you will likely be at a disadvantage come game 1 in the playoffs. Some of the names from your "possible free agents" list should not even be considered IMO. Max Scherzer/Justin Verlander/Alex Cobb are all the end of the line and are very likely to be injured just like they were this season and the season before that. Those guys need to retire. Again, if you are not going to fish at the deep end the pool, then we will probably need two guys from your "possible free agent targets" list. Maybe Eovaldi +Montas? It's not great but gives us a shot to have a deeper rotation to go along with Eflin, Rodriguez, and Kremer. Then maybe you get Bradish back for the postseason? Maybe?

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      I’m pretty confident in saying that he won’t be the consensus #1 prospect like the others were.

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By waroriole · Posted

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.
