O'Hearn has been a good story but I have to believe Cowser will be a better player for the rest of the season in the majors.  Play Tony at first.  Listening to Elias on the broadcast today he thinks he is ready.  See if O'Hearn can get through waivers and go down to AAA in case of injuries.

He was in a slump from 2019-2022.

Mind says O'Hearn is reverting back to who he's always been, heart says to give him a few more games.   I hope Cowser comes up soon, though.   In regards to what to do at 1st base, Urias and

I was an advocate even up to a week ago of leaving the kids down while O'Hearn and Hicks rode their hot streaks/good play. But the luster appears to wearing off of both of them quick.

Now, I am definitely in the camp of bring up both Cowser and Kjerstad soon. However, it should be McKenna who goes while Hicks is the 4th outfielder. O'Hearn can still be a useful LH bat off the bench to pinch hit in certain situations.

But the problem is that he hasn’t done that in a while and the BA/OB/slug have been plummeting. We can’t have a guy getting consistent ABs at the cleanup spot to be doing absolutely nothing like he has been for pretty much the entire home stand.

I'm all for giving guys with a track record a chance to work themselves out of a slump but O'Hearn is the opposite of that.

He went 2 for 4 not even two weeks ago on June 18th. He has been in a slump for like ten days.

Look, I'm not saying he should be given forever to figure things out, but this thread is reactionary.

And he very well could return to being that player. I think he's earned at least a few weeks to show that's not the case. Besides, what are we going to do at first base, Ramon Urias? Anthony Santander?

Ryan Mountcastle?

Thinking he is good after years of being poor to average is reactionary.  Loved his hot streak, but if it's over time to move on.   Let's not ride him for two months like we did Mateo hoping for him to get back to something he had never before been in his career.

He doesn’t have a track record suggesting what he was doing was sustainable or his norm. He appears to be turning into a pumpkin and the only reason that he was blocking (the superiorly more talented) Cowser and Kjerstad is because of how well that he was hitting. He should not be given much rope as it is much more important to the franchise that Cowser and Kjerstad begin to get reps so that they can establish themselves.

Santander with Cowser taking over primary  RF duties.  Hicks as outfield backup/relief.  Others,  like Westburg, Urias, etc can fill in if needed on occasion.

Or heck,  bring up Kjerstad!  (Joking... kinda)

I'd rather have Santander at first and Cowser in the outfield given a choice.

Mountcastle does have three hits tonight so he might be ready to come back soon as well.

As badly as he's struggled this season Mountcastle has the better track record of the two.

A few weeks?? No thanks. There's nothing in O'Hearn's career to suggest that he deserves that much rope. Pretending that a journeyman's hot streak is something more is what bad orgs do.

I honestly believe that he (Kjerstad) is just passing time by being down there. If he is really as advanced as a hitter as he has always been touted to be since draft day, he’s probably ready right now to come up. The AA manage said he was ready to hit in the bigs when he left Bowie.

      Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      By gtman55 · Posted

      I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By gtman55 · Posted

      Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season.

      The Savannah Bananas are coming to OPACY

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
