Did you see the new Jaffe chat?

Someone asked a question about an 29 year old player, a six year vet, who is having a breakthrough season.

The player in question is of course DJ Stewart.

Should the Mets throw out all the previous data on Stewart?

Of course, he's the real deal man.

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.

Didn't they "fix" Mateo earlier in the year?

Didn't they "fix" Voth last year?

Mateo had one month of success. O'Hearn has had 5 months worth. Similarly, DJ Stewart has had less than half the PAs that O'Hearn has this year.

For the record I'm saying saying it's impossible that O'Hearn has figured something out.

I'm just not in favor of throwing out data.

 

It's absolutely possible, but he's gotten 288 PAs this year. They are putting him in situations to succeed.

He's had half a seasons worth of at bats.

I find it hilarious that you draw a line that says Mateo and Stewart are too small a sample size but O'Hearn has shown enough you can throw out everything else he'd done in his career.  What at bat made the difference?  I'm guessing #233.

What at bat made it clear Jose Bautista was not the same hitter with the Blue Jays that he was with the Pirates?

He put up an OPS+ in the 90's for three seasons with the Pirates.  He didn't really start improving with the Jays until his third season.  He also had over 400 at bats in year two with the Jays.

So maybe at bat 700 or so?

So which at bat was it with the Jays? I'm gonna say #569.

O'Hearn has respectable career splits vs LHP at .250/.700, albeit not as good as this year's .300/.800. The big difference is the extreme length the O's have gone to to protect him vs LHP, which is enabled by their unique roster construction (ironically he is slugging .700 in his 20 AB vs LHP!). I don't know that he will sustain .300 but it isn't some unheard of breakout. It's also not like he had some crazy hot streak, he has been pretty consistent all year. That being said, trading O'Hearn might be a sneaky smart move to get something for him and open opportunities for Kjerstad.

Sure.

So a LOT more than we've seen from O'Hearn.

Not sure why you are talking this up, it doesn't support your point.

If O'Hearn is still doing this at the All Star break next season that means a lot more than him doing it now.

You'll just keep moving the goalposts.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
