Tuesday 6/25 vs. Cleveland

[Philip]

Why aren’t they taking him out? He’s obviously injured, and he can’t play at 100%. Is this going to be like that stupid game where Kimbrel insisted on staying in and lost the game against the athletics?

I don't know why McAnn threw to second. Get the sure out.

If Mateo stretches for the throw instead of keeping his glove on the bag the runner is out

Why was the IF in there?

[O's84]

Can't get the bottom of the order out.  This is not likely to end well.

I think so. I mean Hays has an OPS of 7/15/30 days of 1.015, .989 and 1.020. He's trying to keep pace with Kolton Kowser who is rocking the .301/.614/.604 OPS, with a 31% K rate, but he's so much better than Hays, you see that throw on a line he made to nail the runner the other night? Me neither.

He is young and is the future. Present doesn’t matter.

Makes no sense.

I agree if you aren't trying to win games.

1- The poster I was responding to was talking about it helping him.  If they had said that for the good of the team he needs to be replaced...

2- AAA is a wasteland of pitching and the automated strike zone makes it a poor substitute for the majors.

3- Gunnar and Adley stayed in the majors and made their adjustments there.  Elly De La Cruz didn't get sent down and learned to hit in the majors, Bobby Witt JR has gone from an OPS+ of 102-117-142.  Machado learned to hit in the majors.  I'd wager more high pedigree guys learn in the majors instead of having an epiphany when they are sent down.

 

 

Hitting is also about confidence. Hitting mediocre pitching can be helpful to a young player's confidence. If they are old veterans, that's a different story.

I hate Cleveland. Cole Irvin and Suarez do not need to be starters anymore. ME please get someone else in here.

[O's84]

This team is just pushing all the right buttons to lose.

They always do that. Must be analytics. They did it last year in Houston up 2.
