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

I think his future is 1B/DH type. 

Maybe, but he has a lot of work to do to be a competent 1B.   He made  6 errors there in 19 starts at Norfolk.  By comparison, the entire Orioles team has made 5 errors at 1B in 114 games.

How do you have seven assists in 20 games at first?

I don't think the Orioles think he has anywhere close to the foot speed sufficient to play the outfield given that he has a big arm and yet has never once been tried out there. If that was an option, we would have seen it by now.

He can't do worse than Mark Trumbo

Future OF seems to be Cowser, Kjerstad, Bradfield, Honeycutt… well probably the plan anyway, no saying if brad or honey pan out. — He is probably future 1B but has a lot of work to do this offseason.

Larry Sheets.

Delmon Young.

Nelson Cruz.

Trumbo was bad but he wasn't Adam Dunn out there.

As long as Elias is the GM, this team will not tolerate substandard defense from a regular position player.  

I'm sure Mayo will start hitting if he stays up here long enough, but he sure doesn't look adequate at 3B, and I don't see why playing defense at the MLB level should require an adjustment period comparable to the adjustment period we usually see with hitting.  I think he should go back to Norfolk and play only 1B for the rest of the season down there, to prepare for next season.

I'm not completely convinced that he won't be able to get his throwing together and stick at 3rd.  

I think the throwing is a secondary issue, and also result, of poor footwork.  He’s looking pretty clumsy out there..  He has also been hampered by rushing and trying to make up for a previous error.

I was just commenting that Trumbo was not the absolute worst outfielder I've seen.

I want to see how he looks in spring training next year before I start jumping to conclusions.  He's not great now, but for some reason I think he can improve.  He's not a bad athlete by any stretch.  The arm is a cannon, he just needs to figure out how to dial it in.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

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

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
