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 goes when Kremer comes up?

      By interloper · Posted

      It's been disappointing how Dean has pitched in his rehab starts, but sometimes you gotta give a guy the benefit of the doubt and just assume he turns it back on when he's back up here. I think he's earned that, and I'm not even the biggest Kremer guy.  I say call him up, chuck Irvin in the pen, and go from there.

      Kremer can stay at Norfolk for the rest of the year if that is what Elias thinks is best for the team.   His rehab can go until July 15th.   And he can be optioned to Norfolk if that is the right thing to do. The question in front of Elias is:   Is Kremer ready to be a better starter than Irvin?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Which is why it’s not getting done. You are willing to overlook the warts. I doubt Elias would ….. look at the Cease deal. They got Thorpe #4 (#64 of the top 100), a RP that has a 3 era so far this year, and 2 DSL kids ..one of which was their #7.    So this year that’s Kjerstad/Mayo, Norby , Armbruester, and a DSL Kid. Honestly, you feel Crochet is worth more than Cease? Because that’s what you’d be doing. Based on injury risk abd stuff …I don’t. I’d say Norby, Arias, Nolan Hoffman, and a 20 year old DSL player is more than fair

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      By interloper · Posted

      I don't have any doubt this team can, too. But they haven't given themselves much opportunity from a numbers standpoint.  That said, I think this is the first year we're really seeing some guys developing from the last few drafts. Plenty of interesting guys, but they're all pretty much below the AAA level.  Re: the OP, the GM was Andy MacPhail and his head and heart were in the right place, but ultimately we can see now that was kind of a flawed premise. Position players stay healthier, they have less variance and risk, and they play every day. It just makes sense to make them a majority of your draft.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By Philip · Posted

      The write up at MLB Traderumors said he was going to the KBO but remained in the US because his wife was expecting. Now the baby is here, maybe he reconsiders the KBO as a great way to get away from 2 AM feedings.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I just don’t know why this horse keeps getting beat to death.    Yes, the Orioles are fairly adept at drafting position players and bats.    I’m hoping they’ll buy some pitching soon. Regardless, this is one of the top teams and the top front offices in the game. That doesn’t excuse that they haven’t done a bang up job on drafting and developing pitching but it’s clear that they know what they’re doing.
