Yeah no way he should be playing if only we played the guy hitting .067 we would have won.  It’s not like they are playing guys hitting .100 when leaving .300 hitters on the bench.  Complaining about Eloy vs Mayo is like asking out the fat girl or the ugly girl with braces.  

Mayo hasn't been given a fair opportunity to play every day and get acclimated to MLB pitching. Jimenez has shown all season that he's a horrible hitter. And his history of a multitude of injuries make it easy to conclude that he's a shell of the player he used to be in prior seasons.

Just looking at Mayo's limited at bats in a part time role is overly simplistic. If Mayo ever gets regular run and starts hitting, I'll make sure to remind you of my assertion that Mayo - a top 10 prospect in all of major league baseball for a reason - should have always been given playing time over a washed up bum with the running ability of a 60-year old man.

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.

I agree if Jimenez was lighting it up let him play or any of the other veterans. Mayo is never going to settle in pinch hitting or playing once or twice a week. Let Mayo take his lumps now he's going to be part of the future unlike the veteran retreads.

Yea, as bad this offense has been I just don’t see the upside in continuing to play guys like Jimenez and Rivera.  No chance they get into a groove and carry this team offensively in the playoffs, whereas it’s not an impossibility with a Mayo or a Kjerstad.

No Mayo or Holliday, and O'Hearn getting dropped down out of the cleanup spot.

We are facing the same opener from yesterday. Do we know who the bull guy will be? If it's a LHP we will probably be stuck with O'Hearn multiple times through. What is our over/under number for hits today?

There's something about Detroit.     The weekend before the Adley debut, I think we got a near bottom of the barrel one when Hays and Mountcastle were both out.    Skubal and Eduardo were winning, Gregory Soto was saving.

Urias, Odor, Nevin, McKenna, Bemboom and Owings 4-9.

First 3 times through we'll do better than 0-for-26 with a walk...I think.

Gerrit opened the door for Burnes to put it back to 2.

But last year we went 6-1 against the Tigers.

Apparently it's a righty, Ty Madden.

I tried to tell folks that when they wanted to throw Mountcastle into every trade scenario.

Prolonged play at first and against left handed pitching exposes him.

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Flightless · Posted

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
