And not a knock against either. Just our whole situation is SOOOOO much better.

It reminds me of pre AM days.

It's like wandering aimlessly in the desert with a couple buddies (Royals, Pirates) then finding an oasis but still seeing your buddies trapped with no hope.

Sad.

I know it's early.... but we seem to come out of the box gangbusters, then just shut down. This offense is NOT clicking.

We also haven't had a real gameday lineup yet, since we're still lacking Roberts and Trembley insists on batting Andino or Izturis second when they're in the lineup and Roberts isn't.

Also: Ty Wigginton, in general

      I would have loved Mayo to get reps at 1B in 2023.

      I'd love for Mayo to get reps at 1B.

      I generally agree with this. However, Mayo reportedly got extra pre-game practice at first yesterday and when he entered the game he played 1B with Rivera sticking at 3B.  So those positions could be flipped in your left pitcher lineup.

      O's .300 hitters

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Forget .300, the O's don't even have somebody hitting 285. Gunnar is the closest at 282.  You look around the AL competitive teams, here are their hitters batting 280 or more: Yankees: Judge (321), Soto (285) Red Sox: Yoshida (290), Wong (287), Duran (287), Refsnyder (284) Twins: Correa (310), Miranda (292) Royals: Witt (331), Fermin (286)...Perez is close at 275 Astros: Alvarez (308), Diaz (301), Altuve (301), Pena is close at 271 The Tigers have none. The Mariners have none. The best hitters AVG wise on the O's this year:  Gunnar - 282 Westburg - 269 Mountcastle - 265 Adley - 254 O'Hearn - 254 Cowser - 242 Santander - 241 Mullins - 233 And it's not like this team is a patient team.  I think the issue here is the young guys are doing what young guys do. They struggle. Cowser was gangbusters, then bad, then gangbusters, then bad. Holliday was bad, gangbusters, now he's bad. Mayo has just been bad. And the top of the lineup rarely hits on all cylinders. It's like 1 of them hit each day and that's it.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      I was shocked when he wasnt claimed the first time so good news for him that he gets to continue pitching in the MLB I guess. Elias clearly only saw him as AAA depth at this point .

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      Would have much rather kept Irvin in the system over Burch Smith or Kimbrel. I hated when they DFAd him the first time, and disliked it a second time.  It wouldn't shock me to see Cole Irvin have a longer, effective career from here on out than Trevor Rogers, for example.

      I understand keeping Kimbrel as a face-saving move. But why Smith? Is he a guy you want to use with anything on the line? Is there a belief he can be made over to help after this year?
