I would have much rather Henderson sat against Cortes than Sears (right?? I mean if you know you're facing a bunch of lefties and you're picking and choosing spots for rookie to face them....???), but I do have to agree that defensively this is probably the best possible lineup. 

Agree on Henderson sitting yesterday instead of today, but I'm not going to nitpick this early in the season. Hoping the offense wakes up tonight after being quiet the past two games. Weather is going to heat up this week and interested to see how that effects ball hit into play at OPACY.

I've griped about the lineup a few times this year only to have the Orioles come out and put up a good amount of runs. But I am not trying for a reverse lock here when I say that this is a dog***

LOL. Don’t let 64-41 stop you guys from criticizing every single lineup. If Mateo batting ninth is our biggest issue we’re in great shape.

Kinda hoping that’s our starting lineup in 2024, if not sooner.

Yep, another head scratcher. Why start your rookie who has struggled against lefties against a guy who dominates lefties?

"Sig, what does the data say to do against a reverse splits guy?"

"Play the normal splits babyyyyyyy!"

Sig when programming his computer for lineups:

Against Left-handed pitcher:
RHB>LHB unless rookie LHB who struggles against LHP. 
No Stowers under any circumstances

For those keeping score so far in the early going...

Santander, Mullins, Mountcastle and Rutchsman have started all 10 games thus far.  8 games at C for Adley, 2 at DH.  Mountcastle has started all 10 games at 1B.  Santander with 5 starts in the OF, 5 starts at DH.

Hays has appeared in all 10 games but only started 9.

Frazier has appeared in all 10 games but only started 8.

Gunnar has started 4 games at 3B, 2 at SS, and 2 at DH.

Since you have this 3 catcher nonsense right now, don’t you need to at least give Adley a full day off?

Adley could get a full day off if there were two catchers.   One has nothing to do with the other.

I thought the whole purpose of 3 catchers was because of 74 lefties in a row, it allows them to DH Adley to give him a day off while having Benbom as the backup so they wouldn't burn the DH if McCann has to come out of the game.

It's only for 4-5 days. What's the big deal?

Well, it’s horrible roster management.

That said, Adley does need real days off and you should take advantage of this poor management in that way.

I agree it's silly management. But the purpose of it is specifically to keep Adley in the lineup during this stretch. So... he's not going to get that full day off probably.

I guess wildcard was right about Adley playing all 162.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
