It was a weird carom.  Looked like the LF was playing LCF.  He threw the ball from deep at 1B and it hit the runner, but not flush in the back.  The ball shot into shallow left field and continued into foul territory.  The LF & 3B weren’t anywhere close to it.  

Rgr, thanks for the context.  Three runs scoring on a ground ball to the first baseman definitely had to have some uniqueness to it.

Managerial malpractice that Mayo got no at-bats in a 9-3 game.

Yes you do.  You will have Urias OR Mateo.

No, because one of them is in the starting lineup.  If Mayo is a DH and you waive Urias then your regular infield is Westburg-Gunnar-Mateo-(Mountcastle or O'Hearn) and there is nobody on the bench you can bring in to play 2B, 3B or SS, unless you are willing to play Mayo at 3B and give up the DH for the rest of the game.

Kinda weird play. It wasn’t a terrible throw.  I think the runner thought it went through the infield.  He took a wide banana turn.  He wasn’t sprinting on a direct route to slide into 2b.

Oh...I was assuming that Mayo was playing 3B.   Mayo, Gunnar, Westburg, Mounty/O'Hearn with Mateo OR Ortiz as backup.

I think Mayo comes up on 9/1 when rosters expand from 26 to 28. His floor with the MLB team will be DH vs LHP in the playoffs, with a chance to beat out O’Hearn/Mountcastle for ABs at DH full time as his ceiling. 

I don’t think we see him much in the field this season.

That also leaves him in line to be AL ROY eligible in 2025.

If the plan is to bring him up with just enough time to keep his RoY candidacy in 2025, then they'll promote him like they did with Gunnar on 8/31/ This would allow him to be playoff eligible if deemed needed.

It’s more so the extra roster spot on 9/1, the ROY is a bonus. Mayo will still be a big factor for this team even just with the bat September and October. 

Hope he can give us what Evan Carter gave the Rangers last year. Sometimes it’s good to come up late in the season so that advanced scouting doesn’t have time to get you.

Evan Carter gave the Rangers a boost in the playoffs.   If Mayo isn’t called up until 9/1 he won’t be eligible for the playoffs.

Couldn't he just replace an "injured" player?

They could try it but it will look pretty fishy if Ramon Urias is the injured player.  Of course, you need a player and his agent to agree to the fake injury.

As if anyone would blink an eye if Hays got hurt.  😉

Could Mayo transition to corner OF? I wonder if his future is RF at Camden Yards. He obviously has a cannon arm. Certainly doesn't seem to be working with him and either IF position.

At first I got excited that I might see him then, when I'm at the Rockies series.

On second thought, though, seems more likely on 9/2, to prevent him having to join the team a mile high with Canadian Wildfire smoke.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.

      Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday. I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur. The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th. Let's get a sweep, guys.

      I don’t care what Slater did before he came to us this season. Just like I didn’t care what Hicks did before he came to us last year.  Since we acquired Slater he has a .707 OPS vs LHP and Cowser has a .500 OPS vs LHP.  It’s a coin flip. If we stick to what we’ve done, then it will be Slater. He hasn’t not started versus a LH SP since we acquired him.  I’m good with him or Cowser. Mullins is a lock. If I had to bet I’d think the lineup will be, 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Westburg 2B R 3. Santa RF S 4. Mounty 1B R 5. Adley DH S 6. Slater LF R 7. Urias 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. McCann C R
