If they're going to seriously consider cutting Mountcastle's PT, they can't waste time with guys like O'Hearn and Lester for an extended time. Time to get Cowser and Westburg up here. Time for Ortiz to get regular PT, too.


Yeah, I don't know what they're waiting on with Westburg. If he isn't up here in the 2nd half, I have to seriously question his future with this team.

I think we're going to see Cowser up when Mullins gets back. As good as Hicks has been (sweet slo-mo effort to get back to the bag when you got doubled-off), it's best not to rely on him more than you need to.

Cowser should be up well before Mullins is back. This current group just isn't competitive right now.

Btw ill 100% take OHearn vs righties over Westburg rigjt now. Its not even a decision. Now, there is a spot for both if Mountcastle is gonna sit more but if I have to take a bat vs righties between the 2 its OHearn.

Westburg actually hits RHP better than LHP, I was surprised to find out.

They are going against one of the 5 worst qualified SPs so yeah. Good night for their bats.

O'Hearn is garbage. Enjoy his mini hot streak he's on now. He hasn't been able to top .700 OPS against RHP since his rookie year.

Dont care. Im not saying we couldnt find a spot for him but not 1b/DH over OHearn right now. Realistically it would have to be as a replacement for Mateo or Frazier.

And Westburg has struggled out the gates every step along the way whem promoted How many fing rookies do you need to see struggle before you understand what OHearn gives you is likely better than the rookie

The O's are prone to streakiness, and they flat-out lack a middle of the order bat. Any time you're masquerading Santander as your 3 hitter? Yeah, that's building a lineup with mirrors. 

 

Having said that, you seem to think Mullins will be out for a few more weeks. Can you source that?

But the sad thing is Westburg would struggle for 2 or 3 or weeks and we would have the Candy Ass crew some of which are calling for his arrival turning on him and shitting all over him

Yup. The Orioles are built around a group of extremely streaky hitters and the problem is they're all ice cold at the same time.

Really only Adley, Gunnar, and Mullins do a solid job working ABs.

Burnes is masterfully baiting (heh) the ump on the lower edge of the zone this inning.

The actually work ABs well pretty consistently. But they do have some streaky hitters and Mateo and Mountcastle are total duds at this point. Like duds duds. Just 2 guys who csnt swing the stick makes a big difference. Especially when 1 is a 1b. At least Mateo plats a premium defensive position as an excuse

Mateo last night not being able to knock a grounder to the right side of the IF, and instead hoping to bunt? 

 

Woof. Next.
