Been going downhill ever since Roy started calling for him in the pen. The jinx goes both ways.

Eh, this was his first definitively bad start IMO. He was always going to go downhill from the ~1 ERA he posted in April. I'm still interested in seeing him called up for Suarez's spot, though I'm guessing he won't at this point with Suarez already taking two turns and performing well.

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.

Bradley has pretty distinct splits. I think we throw all the LH bats at him tonight:

(If Westburg is ready)

Gunnar - SS
Adley - C
O'Hearn - 1B
Santander - RF
Cowser - LF
Westburg - 3B
Stowers - DH
Mateo - 2B
Mullins - CF

Wrong, Idiot. Mullins is too bad to use.

Rays at Orioles | O’s Starting Lineup | MASN2 | 4:05 p.m. SS - Henderson C - Rutschman DH - O'Hearn 1B - Mountcastle RF - Santander CF - Cowser 3B - Westburg LF - Stowers 2B- Mateo P - Bradish The graphic features an image of Mateo and Santander jogging back to the dugout from the field. They are both wearing orange Orioles jerseys.

Hopefully, these guys have a better June than they did in May.

Cowser .580 OPS

O'Hearn .653 OPS

Cowser has had a lot of HH contact and nothing to show in recent weeks - still, the production has been down now for a bit and would be nice to see some results.  Though the extended scuffles of Hayes and Mullins still make him a pretty clear regular at the moment imho.

His BABIP was .395 in March/April and .255 in May. He's been unlucky in May but was super lucky in March/April.

Why is Stowers in the lineup? Did Hays get hurt again, or is it because Stowers batting avg is 216 points higher? 😎

 

This is a joke right? Stowers has had 18 ABs. He went from a .564 OPS to .915 OPS in the game he hit two doubles. He's an 0-5 from falling like a rock.

We already know that Mullins and Hays are flailing away at the plate like they have blindfolds on. 

The time has come to give Stowers 100 AB in a row, lets see if he can hit.

Sure, but you were surely joking about Stowers' batting average, right?

I don't post on here to argue with people. I merely make suggestions to get us more wins.

Every win is important. In a 162 game season, one single win can make a big difference in a teams playoff position.

You’re no fun.  Who are the suggestions for?

@Warehouse

Hyde or whoever makes the lineup each day.

Sticking with established veterans who can't even bat .200 is not helping us get wins. 

I would play the hot bats. But that's just me.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
