Jorge Mateo 2024

[wildcard]

Just because Maton or Norby is called up does not mean either is going to play much.   Urias has a  364/462/545/1007 over the last 30 days.  And he is a good fielder.

Norby deserves a shot though. Plus the lineup is already fairly balanced between right and left, no need to go out of your way to insure a left handed hitting 2B.

I’m happy for him.

I hope Norby would get at least a couple of starts.  But yes, Urias has done well lately.  It should be mentioned that in “the last 30 days,” Urias has only played in 10 games and made 7 starts.   So, that’s the kind of playing time I’d expect Norby to get now.

So, how likely is a lineup with Westburg at second and Urias at third, and Norby decorating the bench for 6k per day?

Bad enough that Mullins can't hit his weight but now he hits a teammate in the head with his bat?

How much negative WAR was that worth?

Don't know if this was a good baseball decision

Don't know if this was a good financial decision

I do know that I will never buy a ticket to watch Mateo or Wong play baseball.

At least you can now buy a ticket if Mateo is still out when they return from the road trip.

0 since it was Mateo's own fault he got hit.

I like stories like this one about Tony and Jorge playing chess together in the clubhouse that Roch posted on his twitter today, so I'll put it here.

Great to hear that this isn’t one of those really bad concussions or else he wouldn’t be doing this stuff.

Any update on Mateo’s concussion?  Does Norby go for him or Stowers?

I imagine it will be Norby, so he can play every day. If he stays up, he may get one start a week.

Welcome back Mateo. .753 OPS. Huge HR. It’s nice that he can plug in and play SS too.

Can he play CF ?  He has more speed than Mullins

Unfortunately BBref has him pegged as minus defender in CF.

[Bahama O's Fan]

I'd start playing him in CF vs lefties
