Adley with his fifth dinger and a 3 for 4 night tonight.   He didn’t homer in the first 12 games, so that’s 5 in the last 20.  4 of the 5 from the right side of the plate.

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 said in the game thread and I have no data to back it up, but it feels, to me, that he's chasing a lot more as a LHB than he is as a RHB.

He struggled mightily from right side rookie year.  This year he is hitting .470 from right side.

#4 in the AL Batting Title race. The crazy thing is he still has a massive reverse split. He is absolutely on fire as RHB (1.268) vs somewhat alarming slump as LHB (.552). I expect both to normalize but something is up with him on the left side right now. He also has an uncharacteristic 3:1 K/BB this year.

It seems like teams have figured out that he always takes the first pitch. It goes against his approach but he might want to start ambushing those first pitch middle middle FB's.

If that continues I imagine he will make an adjustment.

The home run off Andrew Abbott in the 2-1 game this weekend was first pitch - Brown was attuned to asking about it during the postgame interview.

Adley's response was something like "I was seeing him pretty well and took my chance".

I feel like Adley is the glue for this team. Others can overshadow him a bit, but the winning started when he showed up and he feels like the type of guy that doesn’t need the recognition. 

His skillset pairs well with this. Solid defense. Great approach at the plate. Nothing crazy flashy but absolutely essential. A quietly, insanely productive player.

It's not a coincidence the Orioles turned into a better than .500 team the moment Adley joined the Orioles. Having a good catcher makes things so much easier for a baseball team.

Yes, that is interesting.  Of course, several of the listed seasons were in the pre-DH era.  Torre in 1970 played 161 games, including 88 stsrts at catcher and another 72 at 3B.  And people worry about Adley DHing so much when he’s not catching.

It's funny, on the Reddit thread I found it folks are "Is beating it by only 5% really obliterating it?"

Yes it would.  That's a huge number to break a record by.

I’d also say that Adley hitting .324 over a full year isn’t too likely.  But you never know!

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By eddie83 · Posted

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.

      Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.

      I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.

      That's good. By the time he gets back he'll almost 31, so there's some age decline uncertainty to go with the health uncertainty. I certainly won't be counting on him for anything. But you can hope 2 years of light workload (and a reinforced ligament) will rejuvenate him.
