O'Hearn in the outfield is never a good idea.   Yeah I want his bat in the lineup,  but yuck.  Plus with all the extra foul room in Oakland, just don't love the idea.   

I’d rather Santander in the OF. Also, no reason for Hays to play over Cowser and Kjerstad with a RHP.

Hyde’s probably just giving Hays a chance to keep up his momentum from yesterday, even though 2 of his 3 hits were vs. LHP.   Cowser’s done diddly lately.  As to Santander vs. O’Hearn in the OF, I prefer Anthony but Hyde probably just wants him off his feet for day.  O’Hearn has played much better in the OF this year than last year.

Rockies Designate Dakota Hudson For Assignment

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/rockies-designate-dakota-hudson-for-assignment.html

Dakota Hudson has been very good in the past. Is he possible help to us relief or starter?  He was 16-7 in 2019 for the Cardinals.  If he is still good, it is better than trading our farm for 1 pitcher!!!

Why is it ok for them to use splits this way but yet they won’t play guys like Stowers and Kjerstad vs lefties when their splits say they should?

The inconsistencies are incredible sometimes.

He's pretty upfront that the splits, reverse or not, are only one part of the equation.  Further, he directly addresses the Stowers/Kjerstad stats, and is pretty upfront: They don't really trust the MiL splits.

Well you can’t have ML splits without trying and you have at least some reason to try.

Its a weak and really dumb answer…especially when the alternatives aren’t that great anyway.

As we've seen with Cowser, they're willing to give guys more and more ABs based on performance, and that includes against same handed pitchers.

Nobody is just going to be handed an every day position- as you define it- coming out of the MiLs w the possible exception of Holliday, and we saw even that was not open-ended.

    • Gunner been in a slump so the Pitt GM would not even answer the phone
    • No, the 2005 collapse started with lack of talent. Instead of Burnes and Grod as the 1, 2 punch you had  Bruce Chen and Bedard before he broke out, you think it gets bad after our 1, 2 , how Lopez Cabrera and Sidney Ponson. On offense you had a very respectable top 3 oh Roberts, Tejada and Mora, but after that the rest of lineup was replacement level or worse. So instead of complaining about the bottom third of our line up in 2005 it was the bottom two thirds. I'll let somebody else do the BP.the comparisons to 05 are laughable . Pump the Brakes
    • I think this is how the 2005 collapse started. Some major beatdowns. I remember the White Sox sweeping us and we kept dipping in the pen early and having starters having to pitch in between starts. Then at the end of that series Raffy tested positive for roids. Oh my!
    • Mother's Day Massacre was 2007. I remember it well. Started with a dropped foul popup. Ugh! Javy overrunning first base was also 07. I said at the time, "leave it to the O's to hit a two-run homer and only get one run!"  2005 broke my baseball soul I thought beyond repair. Then I thought 2012 was 2005 part deux as we fell to two games above .500 shortly after the AS break and then rattled off a 5 game winning streak. 
    • Funny thing is the Astros used to be part of the NL Central. If they still were, that's 5-13 against the NL Central and 52-23 against everyone else.  It's all just a coincidence and pitching matchups at the time. Also, who's hot and who's cold at the time. Cards have the Kryptonite soft tossers. Cubs were hot, we were cold, as another example. (Yes, I know there was more to it than that). But our stellar record against the AL East is about to take a nice little dive. 
    • Norby hitting for good power this season, but I have the feeling he won't be an Oriole by the July 31st trade deadline. I have to think Norby can be part of a package to get a good bullpen arm.  
    • The Orioles finished this season 5-10 against the NL Central, losing their last six: 1-2 vs PIT 1-2 vs MIL 3-0 vs CIN 0-3 vs STL 0-3 vs CHI They're 52-26 against everyone else.  Is there something to this we don't know about, or it is just Small Sample Size?
