Labor Day afternoon: Game 1 of the Orioles biggest doubleheader in decades

[Moshagge3]

Real real bad by Hays and Mateo there.

[tntoriole]

Impatient.. really poor at bats by Hays and Mateo .. 

[O's84]

Don't deserve to win if you can't punish mistakes likes that, pure and simple.

[O's84]

Completely unacceptable.

[Alasdaire]

Were there two balls off of his glove or just one? There was a diving play early where maybe Odor/Urias are in better position. And there was the miscommunication with Mateo on a ball up the middle. And then the inability to turn a DP. Am I missing any? All in five innings. Maybe those balls don't turn into outs with Urias there, but it spells trouble for Gunnar being suited for the position right now.

Gunnar is not a bad fielder obviously. It's that he's learning a new position AND is adjusting to the bigs in general. Now is not the time. Let him play 3B.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Just about done with Hays personally.

Would love him at DH if Odor is at 2B. But not counting on it.

Berrios career splits:   .763 OPS vs LH, .675 OPS vs RH.   This year, .887 (!!) vs LH, .739 vs RH.

Gunnar will be in the lineup at 3rd.   Odor at 2nd.   Adley at DH.   Stowers probably in the lineup instead of Hays too.   Gotta get your LH bats vs Berrios.

[Moose Milligan]

Of course. 2 on and none out, it was just a matter of how they’d squander the opportunity. 

[Fiver6565]

We have just lost the ability to score runs

I agree…. Hays was especially bad. Total meatball right in the middle of the plate.

[Emory Eagle]

Late on the FB and off balance on the off speed pitches.  The offense still stinks.

[tntoriole]

We are not scoring any more today .. Gausman is in the groove and may go 8 with his pitch count.

He'll make up for it later.

In 2023 or 24?

Different angle. 
 

I’m well aware. Can’t tell me playing a new position has zero impact on you mentally. 

Gunnar I’m sure has been on that side of the bag countless times with the shifts nowadays.

Adley is 2-3 with a HR off Berrios, he'll most likely DH IMHO.

I thought of that too, but when things seem to make sense, does Hyde always make that move? I'll wait and see. Yet, for 3 games in 24 hours, Adley would have been DH, C, DH. Will Hyde rest him? Again, we'll see.
