Coloumbe comes up on monday/tuesday, Kimbrle has to be out.  Right?  Or do they designate Smith?

 

I sure hope Westburg right around the corner.  

I would expect the next DFA to be Burch Smith, not Kimbrel.

I’m hoping Westburg is next week. Hoping …..

Heston should be DH vs RHP.  Certainly can’t hurt. 

O’s need some contributions out of their youngsters. The offense has been anemic, but before the season if you would have told me that the O’s would get practically nothing out of Holliday, Mayo and Kjerstad this year, I would have said this is not a team winning the division. Not to mention Westburg, Urias and Mateo being hurt.

I’m excited to see if Kjerstad can add some pop to the lineup.

That would be a stretch. Maybe if he can join Norfolk early in the week. I'm less optimistic that he'll be back before the final series. 

Same. I’m really hoping at least one of Urias or Westburg will be back in time for the playoffs.

      They also have a 235 BABiP in that time frame…which is way below average and 16 points less than the 29th ranked team. They have just had a lot of bad luck in the second half of this season.

      Those teams are struggling as well, no doubt.  But in the last 12 games, they have scored 53 and 52 runs respectively while we have scored 24 runs, which is 18 fewer than the Cardinals in 29th place at 42 runs.  So other teams may be having challenges, but no team has put as much pressure on their pitching staff as we have with an offense that has completely fallen apart. I've been following the Os for 40 years, and I have never seen an offense struggle this much just to plate a few runs.  Even our awful teams could hang 8 spots on other teams down the stretch every once in awhile.

      Mayo definitely is a possibility…as is Basallo.    Im not worried about this yet.  I do think a year or 2 from now this could be on the shopping list. But I won’t be upset if we sign Soto. 😁

      You've got it half right.   Missing Westburg matters when you plug in Holliday or Mayo who's negative WAR as the replacement for Westburg.

      Yeah, people are acting like the other wildcard teams are doing so amazing. Certain aspects of the collapse are humorous but some of these people are delusional and thinking we’re not gonna make the playoffs. Win three games you’re in

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I threw out the names of Ron Washington/Dusty Baker initially as just the type of vet manager that we would go after being as they are the opposite of what we hired with Hyde. I think Hyde sticks, but it is concerning.  I don't blame him at all.  I think Hyde is one of the better managers in the business, and even Freddi Gonzalez has whatever "fire" that we may perceive that Hyde doesn't have.   The question is, has Hyde's message gotten stale?

      I am sure that the struggles and playoff anxiety is working hand in hand with this collapse.  The team lost its youthful exuberance somewhere in the second 1/2 and they just can't find themselves.  Saying that, the pitching has been solid recently and all they need to do is win a few games to limp into the playoffs.   I'm hoping at that point they can take a deep breath and get back to that loose arrogance they had.  I think in this case being young may help them reset for the playoffs.
