Our first all righthanded hitting lineup of 2023.

As Roch points out, lefties hit .196/.224/.321 vs Suarez, while righties hit .286/.356/.433.

Mountcastle OPSing over 1000 since coming off the DL, Mateo and McKenna having good season #s vs lefties.

I like this lineup, hope we can put up some runs.

 I admire the optimism.

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**** lineup.  Hays has cooled significantly, Adley is whatever at this point as much as it pains me to say it, Santander is having the most quiet .814 OPS month ever, my position on Mountcastle hasn't changed despite the fact that he's looked better since coming back, Westburg is whatever, Urias is my guy but is whatever at this point, McCann couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, I am confident a Little Leaguer could get Mateo out and I don't know if McKenna knows what day of the week it is.

They'll probably score 8+ tonight.

Normally, I would be griping about a lineup like this one today, but I’m not. I’m not going to fake being angry, but if Gunnar is going to be out until next week I want to see some roster movement with tomorrow being an off day.

Ranger Suárez has a 6.14 ERA in July and even with this lineup the Orioles can score runs. Once Suárez is knocked out of the game we’ll see the O’Hearn and others pinch hit. 

And Roch just posted this update on Gunnar:

I don't think this one has anything (much) to do with Sig's super computer, just with the injuries and who we have currently available on the MLB roster.  If this is Sig's chosen lineup, then it's time to upgrade that PC!  🙂  

What if he is a Macintosh man? LOL

Yup.. every time we've bitched about these crap line ups they've scored a bunch. Hopefully they do so tonight. I had no idea Suarez's splits were that bad. Makes sense Sig spits out this RH heavy line up.

That said really surprised Mateo is still here esp after last night.

    • I don't doubt his stuff.   I doubt his command.  
    • Language like “…salvage the season” is beginning to appear which is more than a little premature. I share the concern about having enough pitching for the postseason. 
    • Suarez needs to go the bullpen and he could definitely help there in a long/middle relief role. Suarez's fastball is averaging 95 MPH this year maybe pitching in relief and can add 2 to 3 more MPH when he needs it.
    • The trade deadline is a while freaking month from now, plus a few more days. I know it’s hard to believe because this board can’t go thirty minutes without discussing a trade and the Trade Deadline thread was created a long time ago (lol) but come on. Why are you convinced Elias will do nothing? Angelos is gone. There’s no reason to expect he will have to go to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet this time.     
    • I floated this idea the other day.  Going to try a slight different version today. For Crochet,  Kjerstad, Norby, DeLeon For Fedde,  Bradfield, McDermott, Chace 1. Feel free to call them overpays or underpays 2. Do the White Sox say no? I think those are two strong packages or one overall very strong package.  I think the Crochet deal is clearly stronger than the Burnes deal was at the time for a pitcher with more control but durability questions. We still hold onto our top 3.  They can try to manage Crochet’s workload if they/you believe in that.  Bottom line, we strongly upgrade the starting staff.       Burnes, GRod, Crochet, Kremer, Fedde.   You’re back to having depth with Irvin to the pen and Povich to AAA.   You can use Crochet as an opener to manage his innings. We still have chips like Beavers, Willems, Baumeister, Fabian to get rental relievers. Of course, this guts a lot of top and mid level prospects but it keeps Basallo, Holliday, and Mayo here.  With the upcoming draft, and the Latin program showing real progress in the lower minors, I think there’s no doubt we can take the position player hit.  Losing McDermott and DeLeon is tough but if you get two starters from the Sox you have to send some arms back.      
    • Teams have slumps, with or without injuries.  Add in a beyond belief amount of injuries,  and you have the 2024 Orioles.  
    • Elias plan is pretty simple and has been executed to near perfection.  Give the team as wide a window as possible to be a playoff participant and build a team capable of winning the whole thing if things break their way.   Based on the last several post seasons the team that hits the most home runs in any given series has won that series.  I think he has accomplished those goals. This organization is setup to have a 3-5 year run as a world series contender.  I have no issue with the plan or even the overall execution and anyone who does is not seeing the bigger picture in my opinion.
