I'm thrilled that Jackson is looking better than he did earlier in the season. It is extremely important that he turns into a good player especially after the large amount of players that the Orioles have traded in favor of him. Can Jackson be as good of a player as Westburg is what I want to know? Jordan Westburg is going to be an excellent player for the Orioles.

If this thread was on the correct board, this never would have happened

Can someone please get rid of this guy? Hasn’t he violated some rules or something? Not sure I remember another poster making this board this unenjoyable.

You have to give up something of quality to get quality. Absolutely Ortiz would be a plus defender at 2B and would be doing well "IF" the Orioles would have given him that chance. I think the Orioles

I like him in the 9 hole for now.  Lots of speed in front of Cowser and probably Gunnar soon as he heats up.  Cowser 2nd, Santander 3rd?

I like Jackson in 2 hole eventually. He can exploit the bole between first and second plus he has speed not to be doubled up. Cowser, Jackson, Gunnar, Santander, Ohearn would be pretty formidable first 5.

Jackson Holliday is 4/5 years younger than Westburg and already in the big leagues. I don’t see the logic in the comparison.

The Holliday family has a long running feud with MLB umpires it seems.

Matt Holliday's 45-game on-base streak ends with ejection

Quote

ST. LOUIS -- Matt Holliday of the St. Louis Cardinals was ejected for arguing a called third strike in the seventh inning Tuesday night, ending his National League-record 45-game streak of reaching base safely to start the season.

Plate umpire Joe West also tossed manager Mike Matheny, who had gone out to aid Holliday's cause, in the Cardinals' 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Holliday tossed after arguing strike call

Quote
ST. LOUIS -- Matt Holliday threw down his bat in disgust in the seventh inning of Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox, a 3-2 Cardinals win, and an ejection from home-plate umpire Mark Ripperger quickly followed.

After the Cardinals had evened the score at 2, Holliday batted with the potential go-ahead run on second and two outs. He took called strikes on the first and third pitches of the at-bat, both of them sitting on the lower outside corner.

Following the third strike, in a similar location, Holliday slammed down the bat and began yelling at Ripperger, who quickly tossed him.

I like Westburg, but you are correct Jackson is two years out of high school and hitting against MLB pitching. His ceiling is way higher that Westburg's as a prospect. Whether Holliday becomes a great player or not is another thing, but he has the potential.

He was getting comically jobbed his first callup too.  Don't get me wrong he still looked awful but some of the called strikes were in another zip code.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Aglets · Posted

      Heston looked solid at Aberdeen yesterday.  Two solid hits and then a walk.  They removed him from the game again after 3 PA.   As the Ironbirds are now finished for the year I presume he will get bumped up to Bowie or Norfolk.

      The other thing they are missing is Burnes...where is the "Ace"?   His sudden mediocrity and inability to keep runners off base and control the run game have been dissapointing and sure to be exploited the rest of the way. This scares me more than anything else.

      Vance Honeycutt

      By Aglets · Posted

      I went to the game with my son yesterday.  Honeycutt had a spectacular leaping grab near the CF wall and made solid contact as noted above for 2 singles.  Looked like an exciting player to watch.   Hopefully a sign of things to come; i imagine he will be right back there to start 2025.

      Take one for the team Adley

      By InsideCoroner · Posted

      Adley got hit on the right hand June 27th, missed a game on June 28th with swelling in the hand, and hasn’t been the same since.  Even during those last 188 ABs, he’s got 27 walks to 28 K’s, so it’s not like he’s not seeing the ball or overmatched, his power and hard contact has just been complete sapped. And then I think the back issues came on top of all that. I don’t think he’s lost the ability to be a really good hitter… I’m just not convinced he’ll be right again this year. It’s not proven we can win consistently without “good Adley” either. As he went south, so did the team.

      Holliday replacing Mateo has been a downgrade as well. Offensively and defensively. Just reality.  We miss those two RH bats and their defense.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The Os haven’t had guys hitting on all cylinders at the same time in a while. We know about Adley’s struggles but Santander, while he has hit some homers, is hitting 212 with a 289 OBP since Aug 1. O’Hearn has a 631 OPS since Aug 1. Adley, OHearn and Santander are basically out machines right now. You also take away the injured guys and factor in the struggles of Holliday (playing everyday) and playing the guys we have to play and it’s no wonder the team is struggling. Right now, I think you the top 2 hitters in the lineup should be Gunnar and Mullins. Slater can be the second hitter vs lefties. After that, you don’t have anyone that stands out. Cowser is inconsistent and could lose ROY to Wells if he doesn’t pick it back up. And we have no idea what we are going to get from anyone else right now.    But I would at least have the table setters at the top of the lineup and just see how things go.

      Mounty, Urias, Westburg and Kjerstad. That’s a lot more than you are saying especially since you are playing guys more often than you should (see OHearn), you are playing too many bad players because you don’t have anything else and you are also trying to play rookies at a time where they are learning but are being thrusted into more everyday roles. And that’s also assuming Adley is healthy. So basically, you have multiple “easy outs” in the lineup every game. Your lineup doesn’t have length. You have guys who are tired because they are playing so often.
