Adley:  “Ho hum.  I’m just rolling along at an 8 rWAR pace.   Pay no attention to me.”

It kind of got overshadowed by Irvin’s pitching and O’Hearn’s homer, but Adley’s double to break the scoreless tie was just a very professional Adley at bat.  He knew his job was to get a deep enough

I didn’t see a thread yet for our leader so I figured it was high time to start one. 
 

The bat looks slow and slappy right now. What do we expect OPS-wise this year?

I read a OH post in the last several months that compared Adley’s first two seasons as a catcher and he had the best career start. @Frobby may know this stat, but my novice searches are not coming up on OH. Baseball reference has searchable filters, so it may have been a @DrungoHazewoodpost.

Adley May have a career year as a hitter. Or a very good average season. Still perplexed at the volume of usage. No catcher has played 150 games a season

He's had 1 full day off and 5 games as a DH.

Sure they have.  Johnny Bench played 150+ games four times, topping out at 160.   He had 130+ starts at C four times, topping out at 139.

Kutter Crawford seemed to have his number but since then he is getting the mojo back on track. I didn't like that he was chasing a bit outside the zone which is unlike him.

He doesn't need to go for home runs all the time because I think he is best when he is hitting doubles with extra loft mistakes being home runs. His early years at OSU he had to make a lot of adjustments and his growth was huge. He has always been a really hard worker that overcomes challenges and his third year he really started ascending. It seems he has had the time now to make adjustments. It's a long season but hopefully he will be building toward the most important part of the season in October.

It is funny that it is Bench, as a last name. Anyone else? I’m still looking 

Realmuto tops out at 139 games. I think Bench and Adley are anomalies. It is not a standard fora Catcher to play 150+ games a season.

Pudge Rodriguez broke 150 in '96 and '97.

Thurman Munson played 150+ three times, and once had 142 starts at C.

Carlton Fisk played 150+ twice and started 150 and 149 at C those two years.  

Ivan Rodriguez played 150+ twice and topped out at 141 starts at C.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Eno Sarris of The Athletic Two who might just make it Cade Povich, Orioles The four-seam fastball almost landed Povich on the worrisome warts list because it’s not good. It has less ride than most four-seamers and sits 92 mph, a full two ticks below league average. Stuff+ hates the pitch (73) and that lines up with the FanGraphs scouting grades (45 present value), but he’s managed to locate it almost exclusively at the top of the zone and (so far) out of the happy zones (.190 slugging against). If you’ve read this far, the caveat for Povich will be of no surprise: His cutter looks decent, and he featured it more heavily in his second start. That pitch has more vertical and horizontal break than the average cutter, hums along at a decent 88 mph, and though it’s been hit hard so far, has better underpinnings for future success. The best news for Povich is a decent mix of three secondary pitches: an above-average sweeper, a big slow curveball, and a changeup that doesn’t have much to speak for it movement or velocity-wise but hasn’t allowed great contact so far (.200 slugging). Povich got a 45 current command grade and a 60 future from FanGraphs, and there’s a gulf between those numbers. If he succeeds, it’s as a command-and-mix guy who throws just enough four-seamers and cutters to keep the batter guessing. This is not the profile of a pitcher who will overpower hitters with any of his pitches. It’s also worth pointing out that the league is getting better and better at hitting sweepers, which might not be a great thing for this starter, as that pitch grades out the best of all of his offerings.

      Going up against a LHP, so you know we're going to see McCann. There will be lots of complaining.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Our whole outfield situation is very unsettled.  It would be hard to guess today who will be starting playoff games in the OF, other than Santander.   I’m hoping Cowser eventually takes off again, but he’s been pretty tough to watch at times over the last 6 weeks. Stowers could grab a spot.  Hays has been hot of late and we’ll see if that continues.   Mullins has sucked for 6-7 weeks but I haven’t given up on the guy.   Kjerstad continues to rake in the minors and you have to think he’ll get another opportunity at some point.  It’s just really hard to know how the rest of this season will go for our outfielders and who will be hot when playoff time comes.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      After all of the positive comments about yesterday's lineup, I find it so ironic that most times when Hangouters hate the lineups, we end up winning.  And when we like generally like the lineups and seem to like our chances in a matchup, we lose.   Going forward, we need to make sure there are enough complaints about that every day's lineup to increase our chances of winning. On that note, I already don't like tonight's lineup at all, even though it hasn't been released yet.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By dystopia · Posted

      Only because MLB is turning into hockey in terms of playoff teams. They remind me of the Vernon Wells years - forever mired in mediocrity. If they don’t do a full rebuild they’re likely to be screwed for a while because they don’t have much of a farm system.    The yanking of Berrios in that playoff game told me all I need to know about their GM and skipper. Haven’t seen anything since to change my mind.

      Nor is it about signing FA.  It's about winning plane and simple.
