With all the young players coming up and the fact that O'Hearn was basically a waiver claim (purchased from the Royals), he gets overlooked by fans a bit, but what he's become is remarkably consistent

Many people dismissed 2023, but thus far in 2024 he’s looking every bit as good: .314/.400/.600 in 40 PA.  And he’s only struck out 4 times.

He's hitting the ball hard, too, which is a good sign.

He's been awesome. Super reliable and confident ABs. I am in no rush to jettison him for a rookie as long as he's producing. 

If I have one qualm it's that he's missed a play each (that I can remember) at 1B and RF that I think Mounty and Santander would have made.

I was skeptical that last year was for real, given that he fell back to earth quite a bit in the 2nd half.  And while it's a bit too early to crown him yet, he's looking very good so far. I hope he can keep it up and we can either start considering him a long term piece and can trade some of the youth that may end up playing first or can trade him for a nice haul if Elias thinks that's better.

The missed play in the of was rated a potential 5-star catch by Statcast.   O’Hearn got a good jump, took a good route, is faster than Santander, had his glove hand on the best side for that catch, but looked awkward going up for it.   It’s very doubtful Santander makes that play.

Hmm ok, that's fair. Yeah it was just the awkwardness about it, like he just couldn't quite figure out what to do at the last second. Good to know it was a tougher play than I thought at the time.

As much as I like O'Hearn, I do think the O's should at least consider trading him while his value is high and to free up space for Kjerstad or Mayo (unless the O's find a very good pitcher that might cost them Kjerstad or Mayo).

But there is a risk that whoever replaces O'Hearn will take time to adjust.  On top of that I'm not sure how much O'Hearn has since he's really a platoon DH.

Statast has still not changed that. It was plotted correctly at more of a 2-star catch, but somehow gave it a 25% chance of catching it. O'Hearn took a bad route and ball ended up behind his glove as he awkwardly pulled up because he as scared of crashing into the wall.

Nobody could watch that play and think it was a 5-star catch with a 25% catch probability. It's obviously was an error in the catch probability score.

This is what a real 5-star catch looks like..

I'm not sure why some of the catch probabilities don't match the plot. The plots seem more accurate.

There is something weird about how they are reporting it. The header is - Maikel Garcia triples (1) on a sharp fly ball to center fielder Cedric Mullins. Nick Loftin scores.

That wasn't near Mullins's ball. I get that he had to pick it up because the ball went over O'Hearns head, but it should not be called fly ball to Cedric Mullins.

Can’t trust that Statcast data anymore, Tony.   😁

If they can screw one up then who knows how many more they could get wrong?

I actually have been looking and there's a play for Cowser that was really a two-star nice catch that had a 5-sta catch probability. And low and behold, he got credit for making a 5-star catch, yet it wasn't. Something is up. I don't see a way to contact anyone anymore.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      A very emotionally explosive player that will punch people right in the face?  I fear we are filled with too many mega religious Lego playing softie white bread error machines.  What is the saying about nice guys finish last?  Frank Robinson was famous for being rough.  83 team was famous for being fun and great team mates but no one ever said they were just a bunch of super nice guys.   I would rather be winning playoff games and be thought of as a bunch of douche bags than keep losing.  I want to be the 86 Mets not this clown show we have.   I guess we need some more cocaine if we are going to be the 86 Mets.  This team is soft soft soft like baby poop.   Hyde cant be the guy to lead us anywhere.  Get a Davey Johnson or a Billy Martin.

      Should Mullins go back to leadoff in 2025 vs RHP?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      Because SG has wanted to trade him for years.   IMO, I think Mullins is here to start the season but whether or not he's here for a full season hinges on what Bradfield does in the minors.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I don't know if this explains the Dansby Swanson contract accurately.  Yes, he plays a premium defensive position and does it fairly well, but he was just coming off back to back seasons with 25 and 27 homers.  There was a thought that his bat was finally coming around.  He was a 1st overall pick, teams will always gamble on a guy like that, especially if there's a whiff that he could reach his full potential.

      My choice would be Burnes My thought is why not him And Snell AND Roki ?   We can afford it

      Yes. Why is this even a pressing question let alone a question at all? He's been worth 6, 3.6, 1.9, and 2.3 fWAR over the last 4 years. He's 30, final year, plays solid to excellent defense, still has plenty of speed (averaged nearly 30 SB the last 4 years), great clubhouse guy, can actually hit righties well and he'll probably end up around $9-$10m. Think you play it back w/ Cowser and Mullins in LF/CF and spend your money on a replacement Santander (O'Neill?) and another OF.

      And this is before the Off Season has even begun. I'll wait and see. Elias isn't going to telegraph his moves.
