Been going downhill ever since Roy started calling for him in the pen. The jinx goes both ways.

Eh, this was his first definitively bad start IMO. He was always going to go downhill from the ~1 ERA he posted in April. I'm still interested in seeing him called up for Suarez's spot, though I'm guessing he won't at this point with Suarez already taking two turns and performing well.

Bradley has pretty distinct splits. I think we throw all the LH bats at him tonight:

(If Westburg is ready)

Gunnar - SS
Adley - C
O'Hearn - 1B
Santander - RF
Cowser - LF
Westburg - 3B
Stowers - DH
Mateo - 2B
Mullins - CF

Wrong, Idiot. Mullins is too bad to use.

Rays at Orioles | O’s Starting Lineup | MASN2 | 4:05 p.m.  SS - Henderson C - Rutschman DH - O'Hearn 1B - Mountcastle RF - Santander CF - Cowser 3B - Westburg LF - Stowers 2B- Mateo P - Bradish  The graphic features an image of Mateo and Santander jogging back to the dugout from the field. They are both wearing orange Orioles jerseys.

Hopefully, these guys have a better June than they did in May.

Cowser .580 OPS

O'Hearn .653 OPS

Cowser has had a lot of HH contact and nothing to show in recent weeks - still, the production has been down now for a bit and would be nice to see some results.  Though the extended scuffles of Hayes and Mullins still make him a pretty clear regular at the moment imho.

His BABIP was .395 in March/April and .255 in May. He's been unlucky in May but was super lucky in March/April.

Why is Stowers in the lineup? Did Hays get hurt again, or is it because Stowers batting avg is 216 points higher? 😎

 

This is a joke right? Stowers has had 18 ABs. He went from a .564 OPS to .915 OPS in the game he hit two doubles. He's an 0-5 from falling like a rock.

We already know that Mullins and Hays are flailing away at the plate like they have blindfolds on. 

The time has come to give Stowers 100 AB in a row, lets see if he can hit.

Sure, but you were surely joking about Stowers' batting average, right?

I don't post on here to argue with people. I merely make suggestions to get us more wins.

Every win is important. In a 162 game season, one single win can make a big difference in a teams playoff position.

You’re no fun.  Who are the suggestions for?

Hyde or whoever makes the lineup each day.

Sticking with established veterans who can't even bat .200 is not helping us get wins. 

I would play the hot bats. But that's just me.

    • That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.
    • There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.  
    • I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.
    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.    
    • I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
