Orioles vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (4/11/24) | MLB Highlights 

@Corey-bv_thumb408I’m a Yankees fan but this might be a solid prediction. Still very early though.

Maybe called up too soon?

​@@cesarmeza5331 I was thinking that too, but you have to start somewhere. He'll be fine. Its an adjustment for everyone. He adds even more depth to this lethal lineup

Yep hes had multiple errors now where there has been a pop fly and hes tried to catch it by running into the outfield and catching it over his shoulder but he misjudges it and it drops. Everything else he looks good on defensively. If he could hit his speed would be a good weapon but that's a massive if

What do you mean "let the more experienced guys make the catches"? He is playing defense exactly as you should. Both of those bloop hits should have been caught by the outfielders. Mullins didn't hustle on the one Wednesday night, and Santander lost his in the lights. The rule is the outfielder is supposed to all the infielder off the play; it's not a matter of "letting" anyone make the catch, it's a matter of playing the way they've been taught. Holliday is going to have to adjust to major league pitching, just like 99% of rookies do--hardly any rookie hits right out of the gate. He'll need 50-75 ABs to get acclimated, (which is why I thought he should have been on the Opening Day roster in the first place) then he'll hit just like he's done at every other level. Adley was terrible his first two or three weeks in his rookie year, Henderson was awful for two entire months last season before winning the ROTY, and Cowser was so bad it was painful to watch. How are they doing now? Holliday will be fine; I'll bet his end of year slash line is somewhere in the neighborhood of .260/.335/.400, which would be all they need from a #9 hitter.

It's going to be a long season for the Red Sox.... just a continuation of last season...

@@PaulJasonDesigns Yep.

Very reminiscent of last year. Many games lost due to 2 out errors. That cowser is gonna be trouble!

Red Sox gonna have a very similar season to their last two record wise if they don’t solve those defensive issues

that pitch would have been close to hitting him if he didn't swing lol

the fact santander only hit that sweeper from weissert for a home run because david hamilton did not step on second is insane.

Their defense is awful. They play nervous.

They are so bad, but I will always be a fan.

@@greenm0bsta889 respect

Well they have NO pitching soooo

true he is trying to hard

As both the infielder and the junior player it was the outfield’s responsibility to call that play for themselves. I’d much rather see a young guy hustling to get in the game rather than looking scared and hiding away from plays. He’ll make the adjustments as he learns and be just fine..

At least the early 80s Red Sox had Wade Boggs,Jim Rice and Dwight Evans. This Red Sox team if Devers is out could be epic bad.

Ok?

I think almost every rookie does (see Gunnar last April) It's a whole different thing facing major league pitching!

​@@maestrobjwa90 exactly, and also the environment is so different. Playing at Fenway would be a little awe-inducing in any rookie haha

@@maestrobjwa90yeah. In AA and AAA you are facing big league arms but they miss their spots more often than the guys in the bigs. More mistakes as a pitcher means more hits. He has to adjust to better rotation on the breaking balls and more consistent dotting.

he needs to take charge on those outfield pop-ups. lacking the confidence to lead right now and make a play

you'll regret him later. Theres a reason he's on his 8th team.

@@edwil111 he was traded to the Padres in 2015 when the Braves were rebuilding. With the Braves he had 1.43 career era with less than 20 blown saves in all those 5 years with him ... The Red Sox didn't sign him because he wanted a multi year contract, he just had 11 blown saves in 3 season with Boston. He had 109 saves in 118 chances which is excellent. The Cubs signed him and he just blew 5 saves in 43 chances in those 3 years. He was traded to the White Sox because he was great in 2021 0.43 era with just 1 blown saves in 23 chances. The White Sox wanted someone veteran Like Kimbrel in the Bullpen. He has been with 8 teams because every great team wants him. No wonder why he has won 3 AL East titles (All with Boston during those 3 years, after Kimbrel left, the red sox haven't won anything, coincidence ?) So he has been division champion in The AL East, NL East, AL Central, NL Central, NL West and he hasn't won an AL West title because he has never been in a team from that league. He has been in all great teams every single year like for example The Orioles this year. He also barely goes to the Injured List even at 35 years old. He looks better than many young arms.

@edwill11 the reason he’s on his 8th team is cause he’s a CP and doesn’t get long term deals

He’ll start shining soon. Adley and Gunnar went over this too.

Hes only played 2 games so Im not worried yet but he does seem off kilter out there at second. Even his throws to first are kinda off at times.

Holliday took his spot in the order

CRAZY! ROTY numbers already

@@anthonyhill1332 let’s not act like the Boston pitching staff is anything impressive but yes he did have an incredible series.

@@TheRedsox040711 I mean they literally were the best pitching staff statistically in the whole league coming in. Do we think that will hold up all year? No, but what they’ve done so far has been impressive, and what Cowser did to them this series was phenomenal.

Guys let’s clarify this are rotation is sneaky nasty but that bullpen is the real problem

Matter of perspective. I for one thought it was quite nice. Go O's!

@Corey-bv_thumb408 lol you think the yanks will sweep the orioles. That's a yikes

So many baseball players start losing their hair in their 20’s lol

I absolutely hate him

@@rudolfhergesheimer4639I’m sure your observation is valid but Cowser has plenty of hair.

Same thing with Campbell

😆

They don't call it the AL Beast for nothing.

La Steroid

@Corey-bv_thumb408 Bro is definitely a Phillies fan 😂

THE MILKMAN! haha

He’s a fifth overall pick, not really a diamond in the rough. Kinda the whole point of the orioles tanking

@@ryanbarber4362 nah but you can find plenty of other top picks that don't pan out...the challenge is the development of the prospects which Elias and the new management has done a terrific job of. People don't even remember that the first overall pick in 2022 was a three horse race between Holliday, Johnson, and Druw Jones. Gunnar was also the first pick of the second round. And honestly most Orioles fans remember a lot of people not being too positive about the Holliday pick when it was made. You can't just tank and magically end up with the best of it. This ain't the NBA.

@@SRSports-xw5yu But the original point wasn’t about hitting or missing on picks, it was that OP called him a diamond in the rough when he was the 5th overall pick. He wasn’t Tom Brady or Brock Purdy that everyone passed on and no one thought would be good.

5th overall pick, not exactly a diamond in the rough. Yennier Canó....diamond in the rough.

@@matrixphijrWhere tf is that Dylan Crews guy?! So called hitting machine?! No everyone deserves to be a top pick.

Yup. The team motto should be "Just wait for it."

Lmaooo yup

Fax everyone be trying to make some sorta answer for why he doesn’t have a hit and I’m just like he’s played 2 games chill

I noticed that too

Yeah. Seems like he’s really overthinking when getting up to the bag.

but he really does look like a kid playing against full grown men __ I imagine in a year or two he will fill out but until then it will be growing pains

He struggled at the end of last year when he was moved to Norfolk, but then he came out blasting this year. It takes time. The dude is only 20. Not like anyone else on this team not named Cowser is doing anything right now. Like Mr. .071 Hays.

Jeez he’s played 2 games let the man adjust

It was his 2nd major league game chill out

If we’re going to make judgements after 2 games, I guess Boston’s pitching staff is the best of all time then because that’s what the stats say.

Mike Trout batted .220 his rookie season, guess he was overhyped too.

It all depends on the closer like Josh Hader was a 2 inning guy but now he’s a one inning guy kimbrel has usually been a one inning it all depends on if they pitch well going 2 innings

First number is Hits, the second number is At Bats. So a 1-4 means that the player got 1 hit in 4 times at the plate.

Well thats a possibility but they made so many errors and blunders that they took themselves out of it.

They win if Story was healthy. He was carrying the infield defense before he went down.

It's early. Cal didn't get a hit until his 7th at-bat. Francisco Lindor is only batting 0.98..He has as many at-bats as Jackson.. He'll be fine. It's a long season..
