I do think the lack of being able to manufacture runs is a concern, and maybe there is some truth to this team being "streaky". The Rays are threatening right now, and we still have a couple of more chances. 

Rays had based loaded one out and don’t score and 1/2 nobody out can’t get bunt down and don’t score.

No, but he could impact this lineup as a DH or playing 3b with Westburg going to 2b...Im just stating the obvious...

I’m all for him at DH. Now find someone to send down.

    • You are probably right. Also the bullpen looks a lot better with Bautista coming back. It's a tally been solid since we demoted Kimbrel and picked up Seranthony. Bautista, Cano, Seranthony is solid along with Cionel, Akin, and maybe Soto. Might not need much more than that.

    • Since August 1, below are the results between our Young Core vs. Role Vets.  Keep in mind that the Young Core’s metrics are boosted by Gunnar’s 800+ OPS in that time period.   OPS xOPS Young Core .676 .683 Role Vets .739 .750 Young Core - Rutschman, Henderson, Cowser, Holliday, Mayo Role Vets - O’Hearn, Urias, Mullins, Slater, Jimenez, McCann, Maton, Rivera Not included as everyday vets - Santander, Mountcastle
    • They won’t. They also demand that prospects come up and mash right away. 
    • We'll never know but I'll wonder where we'd be today if the 275/28 ratio between Urias and Mayo PA were different - basically going to Mayo on something like the '22 Adley timeline. One of the PECOTA previews BP did a couple years ago guessed the Orioles might beat them because it seemed like Elias/Sig had that Cardinals thing where their Bats would "hit the ground running" more than typical Clubs. Adley and Gunnar did that, but those early successes haven't seen repeated results with Westburg, Cowser, Kjerstad, Holliday or Mayo. In Westburg and Cowser's cases, growth came.    But it looks a lot like the long term deployment choices are going to end up with 2-3 positions being papered over some during a postseason run. The Orioles have enjoyed some good play from Urias this season as for several seasons, but in 2024 it also included an opportunity cost of acclimating Mayo to the show.    The 2023 Orioles were much greener in their first playoff appearance than they had to be. I'm not that worried about Mayo putting up numbers in the Cowser like workload I believe he has coming his way next season, but I am worried somebody's going 1-for-10 or 2-for-20 in an upcoming Yankees series or two.
    • There’s no reason to add Van Loon or Pham now.   If next season, they’re performing well and we need to put them on the shuttle, they can be added then.    Frankly, I don’t even think Young would be selected by another team but I do think he’ll be added.
