ChuckS Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Santander. Cowser plays every day in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotelian Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 We will find out! I would start Cowser with Santander at DH regardless of matchup. If Cowser is on the roster I assume he has mastered hitting lefties at AAA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BohKnowsBmore Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 4 hours ago, Warehouse said: ZIPS 2024 OPS projections vs. LHP suggest Mateo. We don’t have great options here. Mateo - .693 McCann - .685 O’Hearn - .676 Kemp - .676 Cowser - .675 Nevin is .711 per Zips projections and is .798 by historical performance vs. LHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy F-Face3 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm not sure why Nevin is being mentioned if he's not even on the roster. I think we see either Mateo or McCann in the lineup against the LHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy F-Face3 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I just dug into some statistics vs LHP and I was surprised to discover that Westburg struggles vs lefties. He's better vs Right Handers than left handers. Cowser also had difficulties against lefties in his AAA Career. I don't think Santander is DH because he's going to be in Right Field.

Billy F-Face3 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'll go out on a limb and guess that Austin Hays has a good chance to bat in the lead off spot. He's good vs LHP and he was batting in the #1 spot vs LHP last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahama O's Fan Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 So...I guess it's Westburg with Mateo at 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1984 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Historically, maybe decades, the opening day lineup was the All-Star voting ballot for all of MLB. was surprised Westburg DH’d, but believe Hyder and analytics are going full on veteran to start the season and will adjust, as needed.

Bahama O's Fan Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Would have been nice having J. D. Martinez or Mayo or Norby for the first nine games of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Guy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It would also be nice to let our young players get shots against lefties so they can learn to hit lefties…especially when you say minor leaguers don’t see enough good lefty pitching. The hypocrisy of how they go about this is maddening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriolesMagic83 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I checked Stowers' stats. He hit surprisingly well against LHP in the minors, including a 1.018 OPS in 2023. I know he's a long shot to get to the majors unless someone is hurt. Would have been nice if Elias signed someone who mashed LHP instead of Kemp. That would have at least made sense.

Aristotelian Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Santandet, with Cowser starting in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goob Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I actually think it is Connor Norby. If you have to sacrifice Mateo to bring him up so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
