Mayo made his 9th start of the year at 1B last night. Elias is in a bind. He wants Urias’ defense at 3B as a sub if we pinch hit for Mateo in the playoffs, but Mayo is looking like a star. 

Silliness. Just move Westburg there and put Mateo at second.

I still don't think some people realize how special Mayo is going to be. He's the impact bat this Orioles lineup needs. He was a bit better the rest of the week at 3B and 1B then he was in the first t

I think we should go with Mayo, but the situation would be her Westburg starts at 3B and Mateo at 2B. You pinch hit for Mateo in 3rd or 4th AB then Westburg has to slide over to 2B with Urias/Mayo at 3B?

If the playoff game is so close in the late innings(Mateo 3rd/4th AB) that you pinch hit for Mateo, do you want Mayo coming into the game?  Especially considering if it goes to extras with the bunt in play with the runner starting on 2nd. 

Urias doesn’t have any options to send down till September. Our only in house option would be to call up Holliday in September and the playoffs. Westburg could stay at 3B and Holliday come in for a pinch hit Mateo at 2B.

Mateo wouldn’t be starting in the playoffs.

No matter what?    Lol

Yeah, he could start against LHP.   

 

That above scenario is the only reason I could see us keeping Urias right now. Would we want to lose a close playoff game because we pinch hit for Mateo to tie a game/get the lead, but lose the game because Mayo isn’t the defender Urias is. 

We have options after we trade Urias,

1. Just simply have Holliday on the playoff roster. If Mateo is pinch hit for, then Holliday just comes in at 2B. 1-1 substitution keeping Westburg at 3B.

2. We make a small trade for a defensive wiz that can play 3B and stash him on our roster and make sure he’s playoff eligible. 

Either way, this is a likely scenario in the playoffs, but it’s fixable. Get Mayo up here.

I’m not ready to concede that Mayo needs to be lifted for defense.

I respect your opinion, but there is no other reason to have Urias over Mayo right now. 

I guess we could get creative and keep Urias till September by option Cowser to get Mayo up here. Or we could go with a short bullpen and rotate fresh arms in the 7th pen spot.

If you pinch hit for Mateo, you put Mayo at third and Westburg at second.  That's more than fine.

Elias likes his depth.  I think Mayo is up before the end of July.  Urias might even stay.

Asset management.  The team is doing fine w/o him.  He can be brought up when rosters expand allowing the team to hold on to Urias.  He will be up the next time there is an injury for a position player.

Coby struggling with throws at 3B tonight.  2 bad throws in first 3 inning.  Threw one in dirt that was picked.  Threw another one down the line that pulled 1B off the bag for E5.  I missed the first one (it was mentioned by the broadcaster).  On the E5 he was looking the runner back to second base, took an extra step and pulled it.

Thanks for the info. Tough for Mayo. As much as our offense is celebrated, you have to be elite defensively to crack our lineup.

I would not say the bar is set at elite.  He has to be major league average, or close.  It’s not clear that he is.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t see why Cowser needs a reset.    This year we keep hearing about how the gap between AAA and the majors is the biggest it’s ever been w/r/t pitching and yet people have the solution of saying, let’s send down guys so they can learn to hitting ML pitching better.    The solution here is simple. Trading Urias can not be difficult. He makes very little money, has been hitting since mid April, plays Ok defense in a few spots and has service time. You may not get a ton for him but as bad as hitting is around baseball, he is an easy guy to trade. You trade him, bring up Mayo and send Mateo to the role that suits him the best.

      Hypothetical trade for Yates

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I tend to agree. Mounty potentially represents a player we could use to bring back stuff we need while not giving up more and more MiL pieces. My thought is that we only have so many bullets to fire off. Now, you never know how teams feel about our players but if we are rightfully keeping our top 3 plus any young player on the ML team, we start to run out of ammo. As has been discussed, the Os system starts to thin out a little and once you have dealt Norby, Stowers and Beavers, the options start to dry up fast. So, how else can you do it? Well, with the extra WC and so many more teams involved, I personally believe you will start to see more contender/contender trades. Now, in this case Texas isn’t a contender but they think they will be next year and first base is a potential hole. The Os, who have been playing Mayo at first recently, have other first base options and Mounty is a guy who is likely not here next year. So for me, he makes sense to shop if you get the right guys for him. Im Not sure I trade him for guys who can’t help this year or not, it would depend on the trade but if Mounty can be the key (only?) piece in getting Yates/LeClerg/Robertson and Scherzer, I’m all on board for that. I think that makes us a better team.    Now, if we can use MiLers to do that and we have enough left to make other moves, that’s fine too.

      Even if Heim were available, don’t you think a team that really needs a catcher is more likely to offer a better deal.

      I can’t see them moving anyone from the ML team, except maybe Hays or Urias, in a deadline deal. Maybe move Mountcastle in the off-season.

      Frobby in particular is a big Hays fan, so I think he’s very biased.  Hays is hitting better and that’s great but just because he’s hitting better, doesn’t mean you play him more. Part of the reason he’s been successful is lesser playing time imo. Same with Mateo early in the season. He was playing occasionally, which was great for him. Now that he’s everyday, he’s exposed and back to not hitting.  I don’t get the Cowser stuff either.  People talk about the importance of defense but then they want to bench our best defensive player. Cowser also brings a lot of speed and good base running as well. But ultimately the funniest part to me is how reliant this board is on statcast stuff and how many on here quote it but yet choose to ignore it w/r/t Cowser. Now, I agree that actual results would be nice and the SSS of RISP/clutch stats are really pathetic on his part but it’s also a SSS and not sure we should be putting that much weight into it. For me, Cowser would start vs every righty and somewhere between 25-50% of all lefties. If we can rid ourselves of little bit of this vet depth we have on the team, Kjerstad would be the same. The problem with Kjerstad right now is that the defense isn’t there (at least as well as Cowser) and while I would like his bat in his lineup more, he’s impacted by the DH/1B guys more than Cowser is.

      Sending Cowser down or going with a 7 man bullpen?

      I say send Cowser down for Mayo. This will give Cowser regular AB’s until you forget out what you are going to do at the deadline. I am in no way down on Cowser but think he could use a small reset.
