So I guess not returning as soon as the 10 days are up as originally stated when he went to the injured list. Is he playing again at the alternate site? Is that allowed for guys recovering from injuries? I assume it is.

I think I heard Sept. 8th is the new target date.

On 9/17 his line was .212/.277/.259, the most disappointing performance of any Oriole in 2020 IMO given that Means had already turned it around a bit. In one week he’s up to a respectable .275/.333/.404 and a 101 wRC+. He was always going to get every opportunity next year but that hot week certainly makes things look better. It also highlights just how small the sample is this year. Let’s hope he has a few more good games in him, then a healthy 2021.

Having a healthy pair of ribs seems like it'd help you when you're hitting haha

I don't think there is much question about the pop. For me it's if his approach is sustainable. I don't think it is. You can be a free swinger and have success (Mountcastle is an example), but you still need an approach at the plate. Hays seems to just decide before the pitch comes if he's gonna swing or not.Good to see him hit this well since returning. Now would like to see some power come with it.
Talent is there. Glove might be iffy for CF but shouldn't kill you and would be an asset in a corner. All about if pitchers will exploit his wild swinging. I don't think he's capable of change.

He's absolutely got the upside to be that, and I'd continue giving him chances to do so. But personally I don't think he reaches that upside. He has zero clue at the plate and he's looked exactly like this for four years now. I see no evidence that he's trying to make changes to improve himself. If he can figure out a way to not be such an easy out for any pitchers that are paying attention, he's got a very high ceiling and can be a big asset. I don't think he needs to "learn to take walks", I just think he has to stop deciding if he's gonna swing before the pitcher releases the ball. He can be a Mountcastle type offensive player, very aggressive, few walks. He just can't swing at absolutely everything or else he will put too many pitcher's pitches in play for routine outs. If he continues doing that at best he's Alberto with less hit tool but more pop. Probably fine for CF if the glove allows, fringe starter in a corner. In neither case would he be an advantage over our competition, even if he's cheap.

Hamstring discomfort. Hope he can avoid the IL.
Being Easter, I got tied up with the family and missed the game, but was listening to the post game. They said it didnt look good, when it happen, but they were 50-50 on if it would be bad enough to keep him out of the lineup, or just an ache.

Anybody know how this taxi squad thing works? Could Hays just go on the taxi squad for a few days if needed?
