He doesn’t play outfield.

Nope.  He doesn't play anything well other than DH.  I'd wager Mayo could become a solid 1B, like Mountcastle did, or eventually a decent OF with his big arm.  Doesn't seem like either position got much of a consideration before some recent games at 1B. 

Norby can play OF though I'm not sure how well he actually plays it.  I'd still try Westburg out there; good speed, smart player.  While we know he's hurt now, we never gave Mateo a real chance in CF either, where he looked comfortable in very limited time.  For all the playing prospects in different spots, it feels like there's some opportunities missed. 

If Adley, Mayo, Kjerstad, Basallo, and maybe others, all need DH reps, that's not going to work well going forward.

I suspect the answers to this poll would look different if Dominguez had a bad outing tonight.  Although we definitely saw the downside of having Kjerstad playing LF tonight.

Like it.  Solid deal.  I didn't cancel any plans to celebrate.

This trade IMO is addition by subtraction . Hays is no longer starting RHB OF with us .  Hays has done great job with us when we were rebuilding.   The other good part of this trade is RHP for bullpen

Sure.  For another team that doesn't have multiple MLB-ready prospects looking for roster spots. 

True … but you realize this wouldn’t be a discussion if he hadn’t been so bad offensively

He's played sporadically. It's hard to get in a rhythm when you aren't playing every day. I hope Hays kills it for Philly.

Is that supposed to matter to me?  I have watched the guy everyday for 7 years and while he has had some good seasons, he’s not an everyday guy, especially right now.

By your definition, practically nobody’s an everyday guy.   That’s fine.  Hays lost his everyday job fair and square this year.  He’ll get more opportunity in Philly I think, and we’ll see how he performs.

Me too but at the end of the day he’s a .315-.325 OBP ball player. I was hoping the Orioles would move away from that type under Hyde and Elias but it’s back with force due to the 1st pitch swinging ratio.

Pache has a career .698 OPS vs LHP and he’s young. So that number includes the early part of his career. He should get better in a defined, niche role, as a RH CF vs LHP. 

He’s an upgrade to McKenna. 

Elias did a good job at the deadline of making the playoff roster snug with role players. Incremental improvements. 

I hope we find a way to keep Pache around. He pairs with Mullins/Cowser/EBJ as a platoon partner in CF.

It certainly won't hurt Hays to have Harper and Bohm hitting right behind him in the lineup

Bad pitch to Ramirez there (who has been on fire), but I still really like how Dominguez has looked. Besides that, he got two weak pop outs and made Thomas look silly on a strikeout. His stuff is nasty.

Yeah I don’t know who scares me more Judge or Ramirez. They both just kill us.

Hate to see Hays hurt.  The trade was just resource allocation.  We needed to reallocate our abundance of OF options for a back end relief option that we were lacking.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Aglets · Posted

      Heston looked solid at Aberdeen yesterday.  Two solid hits and then a walk.  They removed him from the game again after 3 PA.   As the Ironbirds are now finished for the year I presume he will get bumped up to Bowie or Norfolk.

      We're going to be okay.

      The other thing they are missing is Burnes...where is the "Ace"?   His sudden mediocrity and inability to keep runners off base and control the run game have been dissapointing and sure to be exploited the rest of the way. This scares me more than anything else.

      Vance Honeycutt

      By Aglets · Posted

      I went to the game with my son yesterday.  Honeycutt had a spectacular leaping grab near the CF wall and made solid contact as noted above for 2 singles.  Looked like an exciting player to watch.   Hopefully a sign of things to come; i imagine he will be right back there to start 2025.

      Take one for the team Adley

      By InsideCoroner · Posted

      Adley got hit on the right hand June 27th, missed a game on June 28th with swelling in the hand, and hasn’t been the same since.  Even during those last 188 ABs, he’s got 27 walks to 28 K’s, so it’s not like he’s not seeing the ball or overmatched, his power and hard contact has just been complete sapped. And then I think the back issues came on top of all that. I don’t think he’s lost the ability to be a really good hitter… I’m just not convinced he’ll be right again this year. It’s not proven we can win consistently without “good Adley” either. As he went south, so did the team.

      Holliday replacing Mateo has been a downgrade as well. Offensively and defensively. Just reality.  We miss those two RH bats and their defense.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The Os haven’t had guys hitting on all cylinders at the same time in a while. We know about Adley’s struggles but Santander, while he has hit some homers, is hitting 212 with a 289 OBP since Aug 1. O’Hearn has a 631 OPS since Aug 1. Adley, OHearn and Santander are basically out machines right now. You also take away the injured guys and factor in the struggles of Holliday (playing everyday) and playing the guys we have to play and it’s no wonder the team is struggling. Right now, I think you the top 2 hitters in the lineup should be Gunnar and Mullins. Slater can be the second hitter vs lefties. After that, you don’t have anyone that stands out. Cowser is inconsistent and could lose ROY to Wells if he doesn’t pick it back up. And we have no idea what we are going to get from anyone else right now.    But I would at least have the table setters at the top of the lineup and just see how things go.

      Mounty, Urias, Westburg and Kjerstad. That’s a lot more than you are saying especially since you are playing guys more often than you should (see OHearn), you are playing too many bad players because you don’t have anything else and you are also trying to play rookies at a time where they are learning but are being thrusted into more everyday roles. And that’s also assuming Adley is healthy. So basically, you have multiple “easy outs” in the lineup every game. Your lineup doesn’t have length. You have guys who are tired because they are playing so often.
