In his 10 games as an Oriole, Hicks has arisen from his Bronx grave to go:

10 for 29, with 7 BB, incl. 2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 1 SB, 4 RBI, 8 R

.345 / .472 / .586 / 1.058

SSS, but he leads the team in BB/K and BB%, and is second only to Adam Frazier in low SO%.

SSS, but he looks happy and active in the Oriole dugout as opposed to the morose sulker he had become in the Yankees'.

SSS, but combined with his last 7 games with the Y's, "Hicksie" has gone 16 for 46 in 17 games, with 10 BB, incl. 4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 12 R. BA/OBP: .348 / .565.

It's too bad that the next series against the Y's are not until the beginning (away) and end (home) of July....

Now 16 for 49 with 10 BB as an Oriole: .327 / .441 / .551 / .992

Combined with last 7 games with the Ys, Hicks has gone 22 for 66 in 23 games with 13 BB: .333 BA / .468 OBP.

In several years we are all going to look back fondly at the few weeks of awesomeness we got from Aaron Hicks. Soak it in while it lasts.

It's really interesting watching his at bats, great eye-knows the pitchers and has a plan.  Despite their limitations I don't doubt Hicks and Frazier will advance a runner late in a game.

June month to date Chase Rates on the ballclub (I hadn't a clue O'Hearn has gone full Soto this month):

O'Hearn 20, Hicks 29, Gunnar 30, Adley 33, Hays/Frazier/Santander 39, Urias 40, Mateo 56

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=40&type=5&season=2023&month=6&season1=2023&ind=0&team=2&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2023-01-01&enddate=2023-12-31

The team walk rate is next to last, notwithstanding O'Hearn and Hicks sharp June eyes.

Impressive that he has both a big leg-kick and good eye and bat control.

I have a good friend who is a Yankee fan. He is so pissed that Aaron Hicks is doing well for the O's. He also bet me (on Sunday when the Yanks were 4 games behind us) that the Yankees would not only be even with the O's by July 16, but they would be 2 games better

Gotta find a way to keep him in the lineup when Cedric comes back as long as he’s hitting this well. 
 

I said it in the game thread, get rid of Mountcastle, Tony to 1B, Hicks to RF.  O’Hearn can DH. 

I reached peak Mountcastle and McKenna months ago. Mountcastle was great on a losing team. Now he is a drag on a playoff team.

That's exactly what I'd like to see, but unfortunately I don't envision that they would be willing to get rid of Mountcastle at this point.

Drop Lester and McKenna. Platoon Mountcastle and O’Hearn at first or DH.  Santander DH’s or plays first. Hicks in right. I would not totally give up on Mountcastle just yet.

I concur. On all of this. I would still play Santander in RF occasionally though. There are times he shows flashes like when he guns down a runner with this arm or like that time in Chicago this season the batter smoked the ball and the data showed percentages would suggest it would be a hit, but Santander got a great jump and read on on it to beat it to the spot and catch it.

But I like the idea of Mullins, Hicks, and Hays playing the outfield together.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.
