I think Mateo is someone's secret love child or he's got some pictures somewhere.  

OK, I know.  look at his OPS against lefties.

Yeah, because that .650 OPS against lefties since May is SO good....

I was just quoting many posts I've seen on the subject.

Gotcha.  Yeah, that's been the silly/ridiculous excuse folks have used to try to justify something that can't reasonably be justified.

I love watching Mateo play.  But with the talent in this organization it makes no sense.  

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

No Mateo in CF tonight.

I feel sorry for the Astros!

I love how Westburg has made it difficult to keep his name off of the lineup card.

He's at 1.1 WAR in Baseball Reference for his 30 games thus far.

I'm not a fan of O'Hearn in LF...AT ALL!

Rutschman - DH

Henderson - SS

Santander - RF

O'Hearn - LF

Mountcastle - 1B

Frazier - 2B

Hays - CF

Urias - 3B

McCann - C

This could quite possibly be the WORST OF defensive lineup the O's have seen since the 80's.

I don't know.  Buck had some doozies.

Me either.  Plus, Cowser had a couple of solid ABs last night (one really loud out too).  I would have rather kept his defense/bat and played Urias at 2B.  They could have kept the same amount of LHH in the line up then.

We had some games in 2018 with Jones in CF, Trumbo in RF and Mancini in LF.  Jones was -13 DRS that year, masquerading as a CF, and the other two were essentially statues out there.

OUCH!  I'll take back what I said!   

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Hays not in the lineup tonight.

It’s nice that we can let someone the caliber of Hays take a night or two and it doesn’t necessarily impact the lineup negatively. Watching a team with depth like this is a lot of fun!
