We'll see by Sunday morning if they are topping off Adley to the tune of catching three straight NYY games including the Sunday brunch one.

There is not a chance in hell Adley is catching Sunday. Day game after a night game plus a lefty pitcher. That pattern has been McCann all season long.

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.

Such an awful lineup tonight.

Mullins should never, ever start against lefties. .156 AVG/.182 OBP/.416 OPS against LHP this season. Putrid.

I'm sure Mullins will manage to get a couple hits tonight since I'm pointing it out, but it's bad baseball to be giving him regular starts with this level of production from him this season. And he's been struggling going back to last season. It's just veteran favoritism at this point.

Cowser and Kjerstad should be playing every day. This is poor player development and lineup/roster management by Hyde and Elias.

Is it against the rules these days for Cowser to be in the starting lineup vs a RH pitcher?

It feels like it’s against the rules for Kjerstad and Cowser to be in the lineup together.  Santander is slumping right now..how about a day off for him?   Maybe no Mounty vs a righty?  Mullins off?

The first thing I look for when seeing the lineup is whether Mayo is listed at 3B (or wherever LOL), followed by Kjerstad.

Lol...yep..the first thing I look for recently when coming to OH is a new thread saying Mayo is on his way to wherever the team is, and then whether Kjerstad is in the days lineup.

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
