Earl in Weaver on Strategy talked about how he liked his best fielders to be the starters most of the time, but he also had 8-9 pitchers covering the entire season.

I hope at least on the day we learn Westburg's cast is off this is a tea leaf they are pretty sure they won't need to push Mayo into an October lineup, whether it is a favorable prognosis on Westy or even Urias.   

Day to day, you might expect LH SP Povich to put more pressure on the 3B/SS behind him.

I doubt Mayo is making an October lineup since he can't make a September one.

Yep. If they aren’t willing to break him in now over Rivera or Jimenez, it’s not going to happen this year.

WHY ISN'T EMMANUEL RIVERA IN THE LINEUP????????????????????????   WTF IS WRONG WITH HYDE?

Well, if Mayo makes 2 errors and costs us the game, this might be a valid question post game.  😄

It amazes me that Rutschman is still entrenched in that #2 spot in the lineup.   Then I look at the rest of the lineup and can't say who else I would put there instead.   We really need Westberg back and/or Holluday to start hitting.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
