It's a day game after a late afternoon game. Why do people think Adley should be in the lineup? The guy looks absolutely gassed, hasn't hit for power in forever. Series is already won. We need to be r

This won't be a walkover.

With so much talent in the organization (Triple A and MLB) we are still managing to put a lineup out there where 6 out of the 9 starters realistically belong on the bench or not even on the roster.

I don’t really see the issue with the lineup… only one really missing is ADLEY. 

Well, technically you are correct. The bigger issue would be some of the players getting starts at the moment. I can't even get my head wrapped around how they are winning.

I guess this is my point.

It’s truly amazing to see lightning in a bottle being caught time and time again with guys who historically offensively suck. Frazier, Hicks, McCann, O’Hearn.

They have some kind of secret sauce.

You are forgetting the folks over the last few years that they missed on.

Dwight Smith Jr as an example.

Also, McCann-

2023- 64 OPS+

2022- 56 OPS+

2021- 76 OPS+

Career- 82 OPS+.

I'm not seeing any McCann lightning.

Frazier is also below his career average OPS.

And we are trotting out a hideous lineup!!!

Probably still enough to beat the Royals.

I’m confused…McCann is straight up terrible…in fact he is even worse than I expected him to be. Frazier is having one of the worst seasons of his career and it only doesn’t seem that way because he is doing better than his insanely bad 2022 season. O’Hearn doesn’t have much history whatsoever at the MLB level. You’re right about Hicks though

I guess what I’m saying is with all of these names consistently in the lineup, they are continuing to win.

Individually they are demonstrably bad, yet the collective results are 40-24. It’s fascinating.

It makes me wonder how good could they could be with the right call ups...or, would it have a negative effect on the team.

Frazier is also below his career average OPS.

Of the four players referenced, Hicks and O’Hearn are doing significantly better than expected.   Frazier is pretty much exactly where I’d have expected, slightly below is career average at an age where most players have declined a little.  Only McCann has disappointed me among the group mentioned by @Hank Scorpio.

      Yes that is what happened last year to Adley.  I hope it is not a repeat even though this is someone from the Royals not Rangers where they stuff the ballot boxes and beat him out. Or the Yankees fans who think we are so evil vote for anyone going head to head against us.

      Enrique Bradfield Jr. 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      And 2 steals. Good enough to put him at .726 OPS and 39 SB through June. Cowser only put up a .795 OPS there. All things considered, EBJ only maybe is slightly under where we hoped he would be. I’d still like to see him finish up in Bowie.  The ASB is June 15-18. Any word on if EBJ has made the team?  I think we could see him promoted afterwards possibly???

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Both are more of regular season arms. They’re not going to be back end arms in the pen. Suarez wasn’t used like that in his brief stint. He pitches to contact vs hunting for Ks. Both are suited to be regular season SP or bottom half of your pen relievers.

      I hope Adley beats out Perez. I believe this is where he lost to Heim last year. Mounty and Westburg will likely lose heads up.

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?

      When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs.
