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.

We haven't had to worry about this for about a month.

True, but I'm not too worried about Gunnar at the plate. In the field, though...

Gunnar also would ideally have better protection than Adley can frankly provide. Not that Adley is a dud, but I don't think many pitchers are scared of pitching around Gunnar for fear of Adley being up next.

You can’t look at WAr because most the guys in the lineup tonight are part time players so they won’t have much WAR.   The Guardians guys are full time players that are at least good defense guys so will have higher WAR from that. 
 

There offensive game though is terrible  Ops+ There catchers Hedges is 23(yes 23) and Naylor is 74,  There SS Rocchino is 73, and 2nd baseman  Gimenez is 78.   McCann at 75 is better then there starter at 74.  Slater is 60 ( they should have upgraded this position I agree there). Jimenez is 81 but does hit lefties well and has hit good in past.   

He's got a 730 OPS over 50 PA.

If I got a guy that can't stay healthy, field or run I want him to mash more than that.

So you wanted Pillar ? 

I would have taken him or few other guys.  It didn’t have to be center fielder because Cowser can play there so a right handed center fielder or left fielder that can hit some would be fine.  Derek Hill who got released has been ok this year.  The Marlins claimed him but why not offer trade before deadline.  I honestly thought they got Slater just to get Soto and would eat his contract or send him to Norfolk.

I think the only surprise there is Eloy Jimenez instead of Mountcastle.    There could be competition between those two over AB’s against RHP.   May the better hitter win

Mountcastle sits.  

As he should right now vs a lot of righties. This lineup with Mayo at DH and Westy at 3B when he’s back is absurd. Love it.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!

      O’s look done

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.

      And the thing is it's not like the Orioles have only been struggling just in September but since about mid June. I'm not sure if Texas or Arizona played like 6 games under 500 as the Orioles have for 3 months but if they did feel free to tell me.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      Yeah it's interesting because we thought the run D would struggle and the pass D would be a strength. The run D has been very solid through 2 games.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I’m going straight positive on his potential and his trend was going up before the trade. Jake Flaherty comes to mind, based on IP maxing out before the trade. But Roger’s is more a deception Povich type lefty.    Believe ME is going on bounce back potential with a full season in. This guy could be a #3. This was a glad you can pitch season for Rogers.   As a #567 SP, will take it. I like Stowers off the plate hit capability and that is missing in this lineup to some degree. will be following this for years, hopefully! Norby too, as a natural hitter. We need contact hitters!
