Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night.
2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS
MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS
His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup. It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level.
If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs:
1. pitching
2. pitching
3. pitching
4. damn, forgot the 4th one.
oh yeah, its pitching.
I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen
Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment.
Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
