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.

This lineup makes a lot of sense. We’re not trying to lose this series. A lineup. Possible playoff preview if things stay the same roster wise. Mounty batting 7th with a RHP. Cowser and his .600 OPS since April is sitting.

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.

Never asked for everyday..but real opportunity should be there and hiding behind some stupid archaic rule when the info you actually have suggests otherwise is dumb.

Westburg is an every day guy this year.

Holliday was given every day reps when he was up.  I suspect when they bring him back up, they'll bring him back up when they're ready to do that again.

Cowser played himself into an every day role, and now they've backed off on that a bit since he's been scuffling.

Kjerstad, this call up, has been playing almost every day.  He's played 10 of 13 games since his call up in June.

Who are all these guys not getting opportunities?

The one with a legit beef is probably Stowers, but unfortunately for him he's been surpassed by Cowser and Kjerstad.  Surely you don't want Stowers getting Abs over those guys.

So exactly who isn't getting an opportunity?

Are you actually following the conversation or are you just trying to argue?

I don’t know whose turn it is in the Cubs rotation for tomorrow, but if it’s a RHP, I’d like to see Kjerstad DH, Cowser in left, and O’Hearn and 1st with Mounty on the bench.

I believe we are getting there 3 best pitchers. Imonaga, Tailon, Steele.

Of course we are. 

While those three SP are pretty good. The Cubs problem is their bullpen but even more so (like much of MLB) their offense.

I'm very confident that we will handle them like we do everyone else.

I think we will struggle to score runs against these guys.  Imanaga is the real deal, the kind of pitcher that will give us fits.

Can you get Roy to start a thread on it?

Yawn.... Orioles record 57- 33. Cubs record 42- 49. 

I like our chances.

I like our chances against them but this smells like a bit of a trap series, too. @Sanity Checkis right, Imanaga seems to be the type that will give us fits.  

I acknowledge that the 3 starters that they have going this series are very good. But their offense and pen are not. I don't worry much about "trap series" or even "big series" with this team. Over the last year and a half (in the regular season) they tend to roll no matter what.

      She’s awful.  I wouldn’t take anything she says to mean anything.

      This Twitter thread is interesting. A lot of things track. I generally think she doesn’t know much but she does seem to know people around the team. She’s also been a Hyde defender.

      I feel like they did it to entice pitchers on short-term deals to come here and now have their stats blow up.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Here was the Wheeler extension from this past spring - he is finishing 2024 under the terms of his original 2020-2024 contract, so these are guarantees Middleton and Dombrowski made blind to whether Wheeler would hit any health bumps in 2024. Wheeler 5.30.1990 is 4 plus years older than Burnes 10.22.1994, but has a ton more October achievement, including 7 shutout innings this afternoon.    30 Swings and Misses!!! 3 years/$126M (2025-27) signed extension with Philadelphia 3/4/24 25:$42M, 26:$42M, 27:$42M

      Elias: It's on me

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It wasn’t Cowser and Ortiz for Burnes..it was Cease.  And at that time, they did have to give that to get him, clearly. I never wanted to lose Urias for nothing. And yea, I wanted to trade some of our vets and play the kids…and put more emphasis on the pitching staff. I wanted Hays gone and wanted Mounty gone.   And it was definitely you but whatever.

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million
