Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!

I don’t know why people keep lumping O’Hearn in on posts like this. The guy had one of the few over .800 OPS on the team last year. He’s not remotely the problem.

I heard that he was initially scheduled to be DH, but told Hyde, “if Burnes doesn’t want me to catch him, then I don’t wanna play!”  Then he was seen softly sobbing in a corner of the locker room.

Would like to see then maybe not give Westburg a day off same day as Adley is off. But overall I get it. Brutal stretch lately and eve though we’re getting a day off finally, it’s just so they can travel across the country for the next run of games. We have a deep team so might as well use that depth as much as reasonable. And Adley being off makes a ton of sense if you saw the play last night where he got hit in the hand. That did not look good for a second there m, no surprise swelling etc would have him out

Santander just had the day off, Mullins has been great lately and they rightfully don't want Silent J playing LF in Camden

If Ryan O'Hearn played first tonight instead of DHing. You could DH Kjerstad against the RH Scherzer.

What do I know? Watch Mountcastle hit a bomb off of Mad Max tonight.

I am not usually a lineup complainer, but don't understand taking Westy out tonight, with Adley already on the bench.The Yankees are struggling, and we have a little momentum. It doesn't seem like we are putting the team in the best position to win. But Hyde must know things I am not seeing.

I'm not going to pretend this is 2018 Max Scherzer on the mound tonight so I'm not going to freak out about the lineup. It's his 2nd start of the season.

The Orioles can knock around Scherzer and lower the Rangers' asking price for him next month. 🙂

I think Scherzer has some pitching ability left, but like you said he older now and making his second start of the season. Even in Scherzer's prime the Orioles had some good outings against him.

Adley's bruised hand from the foul ball last night are probably factoring him into getting the game off. I would have liked to seen Kjerstad in the lineup though. Maybe you give Mountcastle a night off and play O'Hearn at 1B with Kjerstad at DH.

You can always play Mouncastle later if a southpaw enters the game.

This is probably the weakest lineup that we can field. I guess we are trying to take it easy on Scherzer tonight? lol

I have no idea why Kjerstad wouldn't be playing again after yesterday.

Or, Westburg....he's easily become my favorite player because of his steadiness and versatility to hop from third to second without a drop off defensively. And he goes to RF with ease as a hitter which reminds me of myself back in the day.  🤠

I love Jordan Westburg also. But you might want to check those defensive metrics. There is a precipitous drop off defensively when he has moved from from 3B to 2B.

He’s better at 3B for sure, but I think that’s a result playing time. If he’s at 2B regularly I think you see the same caliber of defense over time.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Angelos did fight the relocation.  He voted against, lobbied against it, withheld permission to adjust TV territories, and threatened to sue if not fairly compensated.  As long as the team was compensated for the loss of broadcast exclusivity, I don’t think he had any other case. From all reports, he drove a hard bargain and it took like 9 months to negotiate a compensation and settlement agreement. There was a wide discrepancy among various parties about what constituted just compensation with Angelos taking more pessimistic views of the impact of the Nats franchise and less optimistic view on MASN. Also, MASN was in perpetuity not temporary.  In hindsight, MASN probably didn’t provide the revenue protection intended because of how the dispute played out and how the RSN market collapsed, but that’s in hindsight. Overall, Angelos “won” the MASN dispute (at least the RSDC process) more than he lost it - the Nationals advocated for rights fees intentionally designed to bankrupt MASN but the RSDC didn’t use their comps. Overall, I think it’s fair to say that relocating a team to DC has hurt the Baltimore club’s market size and ability to fund a top-10 payroll.   HOWEVER, had the Nats not come to DC, the specter of an Orioles relocation to DC would have been hanging over our heads especially as Peter’s health declined, the stadium aged, and the lease approached. Peter would never have moved, but are we sure JA would turn down a higher offer of say $2.3BN offer from Ted Leonsis or someone with the intent to move the club to DC? I think as an Orioles fan it’s probably best to have another team in DC than have to worry about the Orioles ever relocating there.

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
