People get so upset over jokes nowadays.  Get over it.

That on deck swing that Mullins hit Mateo with... was probably Mullins best contact with a bat  on the day.

He certainly made the 8th inning more exciting.

Not good.

Every cloud has a silver lining.   This means, most likely, Norby or Holliday get extended time at 2B.   Norby looks like first man up.

And here’s hoping that means reduced playing time for Urias.

Dislocated elbow. Norby likely in lineup tomorrow and is being added to the roster.

Hope Mateo recovers well!

Is this something that could impact his ability to play the field?  Could he be ready to bat before he's ready to field?  Not sure you carry bat only Mateo in the regular season but probably in the postseason.

This looks like Norby’s golden opportunity.   I think he can win the full time job which would mean Westburg full time at 3B and limited time for Urias.   The question is, will Norby be here next Thursday?

You never carry bat only Mateo.  I guess you’re thinking of the PR aspect?

A sort of three headed monster approach where Westy/Holliday/Norby split time between 2B/3B might be a way to get all a fair amount of playing time (and keep Urias out of the starting lineup).

Not sure if we’d want to do a straight platoon with Holliday/Norby at 2B, but it’s good to have options.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The Royals have completed 14 games in 14 days all against CLE-MIN-HOU like this, a testament to the rollercoaster of baseball: WWW-LLLLLLL-WWWW Bobby Witt heads to the Bronx for the next 3 games with his best chance to make some noise and shake up the AL MVP contest. Cubs avoid the sweep to keep the AL East at 0.5 games.

      Sweep in Boston

      I think it's just trying to be predictive rather than a jinx.

      He needs to catch up to the scouting report. Needs to start looking for pitches on the edge of the strike zone early and driving them. He's failing to adjust in my opinion. I also have serious concerns about his bat speed from the left side.

      Norby did some of the damage to get his OPS up to .900. It is invigorating what being inked into the top of the lineup for a 100-loss team can do for a player.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      Norby would be a very valuable member of the team right now. It’s difficult to say we should’ve kept him, when nobody knew that Urias would be injured, but I think it is quite accurate to say that the trade was bad because we gave up much and got little. Even when discussing potential, before Roger showed up and was horrible, it was still a bad trade because Rogers has been in decline and there was no logical reason to expect him to be anything other than mediocre. And if you’re willing to sacrifice defense for offense, as the Orioles obviously are with mayo, then any defensive shortcomings that Norby might have are irrelevant. edit: I am aware that the Orioles aren’t playing mayo in the field very much, so they are obviously concerned with his defense, but they aren’t so concerned with his defense that they are unwilling to play him anyway. they are just hoping he improves.

      Players grappling with the fact the people with pocket protectors have done the math and even Keegan Akin 17 pitches at a time might be better than Corbin Burnes 93 pitches at a time. Lot of off days in the postseason. You have to be a workhorse and a showhorse to keep your regular season role.    Thanks for the innings though Nestor (and Kyle Gibson).
