Stowers not showing the urgency on that play

Seriously.  What’s that? He’s got to know runner is going on contact and with 2 outs is gonna force a play.  Hard to see what happened in the corner, but like you said didn’t look like a lot of urgency on his part.

It was "only" 406 feet and 106.6 MPH off the bat.

Sure looked further than 406.  That ball was scorched.  Announcer was impressed.  Mayo makes announcers say funny things when he gets into one.

Sometimes a wonder about the estimated distance in minor league home runs. I've noticed on many occasions where the distance seemed short.

I had to turn off the game early, but my brief observations:

I didn't notice anything hit to Mayo or any issues with HK at 1B (at least in the 3 innings I watched).

It's looking like the defensive work excuse was legit with Holliday. 

 I love Holliday's confidence and patience balanced with aggression in the box.  Dude's gonna be a great table-setter with benefits.

Mayo had some loud fouls.  I missed the HR.  Same for HK.

McD had flashes but little command.  The high FB looks strong but couldn't locate.  CH and CU looked average to me but could have been the angle of the camera.  But he had good swing/miss on the CH.

    • Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.   
    • Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.
    • I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?  
    • Can they? - Yes it's possible. Anything is possible.  Will they? - I have my doubts. The team was abysmal (minus Cedric Mullins and O'Hearn's pinch hit appearance) with the bat in their hands yesterday. And for many of our hitters this was nothing more than a continuation/carryover from the second half of the season. 
    • Right now Geronimo Gil is better than Adley.  But I'm not gonna kick Adley while he's down.  Let him get a reset, work on some things in the offseason, and hope that this 2nd half ends up being just an aberration in a good career.
    • Which is crazy since they put 7 on the board vs Ragans hitting all singles. They had an approach that worked and then they went away from it.
    • It’s what this board does.
