Funny how we aren’t see a lot of “must re-sign Santander” posts lately

If we don’t, better go get an elite right handed left fielder. Can’t go into next season with three left handed hitters in the OF, two of which can’t hit lefites

Tony looks like crap lately.

Here's Cowser for the strikeout and the 3rd out.

So predictable.  

In the lineup thread I was mentioning how some of these guys in the lineup today are automatic outs lately, specifically Tony, Cowser, Holliday and O'Hearn.  I said they're good for anywhere between 10-14 outs today.

That's 2 in the first inning.

I still like what he provides, and that he's a switch hitter, and a good clubhouse presence, which I think is something is valuable to this team in particular.  But it would need to be the right price, and the 40 bombs have made that part of it unlikely.  Someone will overpay.

 

Meanwhile, can this limp d!ck offense ever get anything going?  FFS.  Can't take advantage of what seemed like a gift at second base.

I keep being told that leadership is a problem with the team but yet Adley is known as a good leader, Santander apparently is, Burnes is and apparently Kimbrel was.

    • I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.  
    • I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.
    • Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.    
    • Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own. 
    • ….as long as it’s not us 
    • Is it just me or did they sound the HR / walk-off siren before the ball actually went out?
