I like Adley, and think he's a very good hitter with getting on base. BUUTTT, I'm starting to have concerns over his lack of power.

He starting to become Joe Mauer.

The first ballot Hall of Famer?

Mauer is in the Hall of Fame.

I think we'd all take that.

Just got a popup that O's announce Bradish will be starting rehab in High-A soon. Sorry if this is already known.

It was posted in the Bradish thread earlier. AND... what game are you watching? Ben mentioned it earlier..... :D

Burnes at just 69 pitched through 5, so hopefully he can get us 7 today to limit the bullpen need. But we need runs.

I think the shadows are really working to the pitchers’ advantage now.   And Burnes knows how to work it.

My only thought is that to produce power he may be sacrificing contact. I’m fine with Realmuto type numbers.

The point is not that Adley is a bad player, which is EXACTLY why I said he's very good hitter, but I think we all expected more power.

The more I see of Burnes, the more I want to give him the conteact he wants. Especially with how durable and reliable he is. I can't say I have the same confidence in how durable and healthy we will be able to keep Grayson because Rodriguez's mechanics are kind violent to provide his 97MPH all game long.

    • Does the "insanity" label mean it's something you expected Hyde to do (like using Kimbrel yesterday against the near-bottom of the Phillie lineup with a four-run lead) or not to do?  
    • Every time I see Nestor Cortes I think,”Damn, we sent him back.” The man responsible for that should have been fired…and was! The worst team in modern history couldn’t make room for a promising Rule 5 guy. Grrrrr
    • I would love to see Seattle win. They seem to have such a fun team even when they aren’t scoring, which is usually. But definitely they have some pitching
    • That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot. 
    • In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.
    • I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.
