He hit .302 with an .880 OPS last year vs Lefties, but once again the Orioles just think lefties can't hit lefties. 

Maybe he should DH in place of O'Hearn vs lefties 

I like this idea, but it seems they end up playing Adley at DH and McCann catching against LHP.

I don't write that great.  In real life I have a massive stutter and failed my Maryland writing test in High school the first time and had to retake it.   I honestly was just trying to make a jok

Kjersatd was recalled and started in his first game up (Apr 23rd) and had one pinch hit appearance since. He obviously was not going to start against Cortez tonight, but it's pretty clear the Orioles

What an idiotic comment. If this is the brilliance you want to bring to the board, keep it to yourself. This is a community for conversation. If you think for one second I think they care what i have

I think Kjerstad gets in the game today vs a RHP one way or another. Could be Cowser in CF or (most likely) Santander on the bench. Both look like they could use some rest. Probably makes sense to rest Mullins vs LHP tomorrow and start McKenna or Mateo in CF. 

Nailed it. Kjerstad in, Santander to the bench today.

Good call. Tony has looked a little lost up there. He faked me out with a few hot games earlier in the month, but then went kind of ice cold again.

I don't mind the occasional slump but I felt his final swing last night he just looked mentally defeated. At that point it's time to sit and get a reset.

Man wish I could sense mental defeat via swing analysis. 

Sounds like it be useful for prop betting.

The thing I find the most interesting is this is among the best months of April he's had and here we are saying he's toast.

I just caught up on this thread, feel like I’m watching Dallas and hoping Bobby will be stepping out of shower any minute now.  
 

I agree about HK getting buried.  It is frustrating but so was watching Holiday struggle and not get a day off.

As for Sigbot, if there’s a chance that it’s making the call at bat to at bat, I sure hope it says drill Soto at some point.  FWIW that was self deprecating humor from another thread where many disagreed with me (ducks looking for chairs being thrown).

A lot of players have significant hot and cold stretches.

He's one of them.

I didn't say that, only that he could use a day off and why not since Kjerstad is here

My eye test has about 17 metrics. More advanced than statcast actually.

Heston missed a 2-0 meatball, but crushed the next pitch for a single. He also had a nice sliding catch in the field. We’re facing a string of lefties, and we have some off days, so he might only start 2 times in the next 9 days because of that. 

It is what it is. No knock on big Heston. He’s a part of our future. We’re just playing winning baseball and need to win each game.

I thought the sliding catch was a play he made look much harder than it should have been.

Catch probability agrees with you making it a 99% probability (1-star). Looked like he may have gotten a late start and ran a bit of an arc route.

I’d like to see Kjerstad start tomorrow with righty Hunter Greene on the mound.

Kjerstad started for Santander Wednesday so pretty much no chance Santander gets another day of rest this fast so I could see a scenario where Kjerstad plays for Cowser who has been ice cold the past week+ both offensively and defensively.

Reds have a small park so it’s not as if Kjerstad would have to cover a ton of extra ground if he was to start in left.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.

      That is strong language coming from you.  The only recent guy I really couldn’t stand was Jimenez, though I sure wasn’t keen on Kimbrel for most of the season either.

      What is the O's magic number for home field advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs?

      By Frobby · Posted

      To state the obvious, the magic number for home field in the WC series is now 1, with 4 games remaining.   Would love to v close that out tomorrow va. the Yankees and then relax all weekend.
