The Orioles are good. Their relief pitching was sensational, with some very hard throwers. Britton was mostly at 98 there at the end. I think the O's could win the Division. And that's with Davis having a bad year and Weiters out for the season. Except for the 5 runs they gave up to the worst hitting team in the league. |

JBJ doesn't hit well enough to win a GG. Counting today. JBJ is 13/43 in his last 13 games. Has 3 bb's and 7 k's. That's a .302 ba. At-bats look much butter instead of just looking over-matched. And that's not an arbitrary or cherry-picked starting point; it's when he reverted to the stance he used in the minors previous to last year. He's gone from a .312 K rate to .149. That's actually statistically significant despite the SSS (p = .024). |

That's actually statistically significant despite the SSS (p = .024). With his glove, he's fine if he can hit .260 to .275 and get on base via walks a little obp 330ish. Eventually, he'll add some power and get to 10-15 hr's I would think. |

JBJ doesn't hit well enough to win a GG. I don't know where to begin there.. Start with Cesar Geronimo, Larry Bowa, Mark Belanger. We can even go right now with Darwin Barney, who is probably one of the worst hitters in the game. Who says you have to hit to win a GG? |

Eventually, he'll add some power and get to 10-15 hr's I would think. When he gets to that number, his OBP will be more like .345-.350. Even now, hitting all of .218, his OBP is nearly .300. That's just who he is. The glove and the arm certainly play. He must be near the top of the leaderboard for OF assists, given that it's just a few games past the half-way point and he's already at 10. At some point they'll stop testing him, I suppose. |
