Very much ready to have O'Hearn back to being a part time guy. He did the same disappearing act last September as well. Just not an every day guy and has completely been exposed. Play Rivera and Tony at 1B and let Mayo/Kjerstad play the other spots.

I wish O’Hearn would hit like September 2023. Dood was solid.

If we had Stowers/Norby, that’d be ideal.  it doesn’t help out this roster much. 

I've said this a few other times but Norby is 1/21 and 10 k's recently. This board would be killing him and writing him off just like Holliday and Mayo right now. Not to mention, Hyde would not be playing him with any consistency with a stretch like that. A lot of people seem to be caught up in his hot streak. Who's to say Mayo wouldnt be able to put together a similar hot streak if given ANY semblance of consistent at bats.

Another missed Adley bottom of strike zone strikeout. Drink. Dood is abysmal.

[terpoh]

Another solid pitching performance (so far). Another non existing offensive performance (so far).

At some point you have to question the intelligence of these hitters..

I'm questioning the intelligence of the people in the game thread, complaining about swinging at pitches right down the middle.

[Roy Firestone]

Povich has really one bad mistake. If we were a decent offense he'd be in decent shape...but we cant get a freaking rally that produces anything..

[Moshagge3]

Four straight quality starts and the team is 2-2. On course to be five straight quality starts and a 2-3 record.

[LookitsPuck]

Strike rate for Adley framing. The 3 right stats are bottom left, bottom middle, and bottom right. Those stats, are, well awful.

you'd put Mayo at first?

DH, Kjerstad can go to RF especially with home games coming up, Sandy knows how to play 1B 

[LookitsPuck]

Starting pitcher doing their job, offense not showing up. Drink.

It all depends on the result.

You take pitch one and it's a strike you're a bum.

You swing at pitch one and don't get a hit you're a bum.

It's all after the fact analysis.

Also blaming catchers for umpire incompetence is in today.

If they were on this roster they could platoon in RF and Santa could play 1B.  Thats all I meant.

I’d rather watch Mayo go 0-4 or 1-5 with the potential of breaking through than watch Ohearn do it. 

If only Mountcastle could stay healthy.

I've been saying that for weeks...im not saying Mayo I gonna be Ted Williams from the get go...but if he doesnt get at bats, he cant get into his swing rhythm..I think he'd be worth a shot..

And before that 1/21 he was amazing and probably helps the O’s win a few games just on the offensive outburst alone.
