Tampa is a very hard place to play so you want the best defenders out there dealing with turf and roof so no surprise Millins and Urias get start.  

It's been in limited at bats, but during the last two weeks in 17 PA's Urias has put up a .500/.588/1.000 stat line.

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.

Mullins has 2 homers off Civale as a bonus. 

We have seen Vets mired in slumps Urias and Hayes come out of it recently and with Hayes banged up again, now would be be perfect time for Mullins to come out of His.

At this point a 5 year old girl could get Mullins out.  He had a few balls hit hard other day but now back to striking out and weak contact.  I am not sure what you can do with him if it goes another couple weeks.  He is headed down towards .150  He is 10 for last 90 with 2 extra base hits.

I was about to ask what are people going to be upset about with both Stowers and Norby in the same lineup, but I guess @DirtyBirdhas already answered that question. 🙄

Why should we be happy with two unproven guys in the lineup when they are alongside arguably the worst hitter in the league?

We are set up in good position for a 4 game sweep. Why would we give away outs?

So is your only complaint that it should be Cowser over Mullins?  I would say defense plays into that significantly, especially with O’Hearn in right. Mullins’ additional range is needed. 
 

Regardless, the hyperbole of ‘worst lineup of the year’ is absurd, even for someone like you who only seems to post negative thoughts.

Good point. I don’t know how we could get by with Cowser’s range alongside O’Hearn.

I agree with Dirty that Cowser should be in CF. I don't agree with it being the worse lineup of the year. I'm sure there's a lineup out there with bad Hays, bad Santander, bad Mullins, and bad Urias in it, and maybe even Tony Kemp.

Wouldn’t Dodo Bird be more appropriate?   The extinct flightless bird.

I vote NO. Poor Dodo Bird. We drive it extinct and then disparage its name? 😄

No McCann in the lineup either today so this is far from one of the worst starting lineups this season. Outside of Mullins this lineup is pretty strong, but I'm not a fan of O'Hearn playing in the outfield.

      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.
