If true, this could be quite telling about how the Orioles view Jordan Westburg's outlook.
It's also a risk considering Holliday has played only 18 innings in his pro career at 3B.
It's also adding another thing to Holliday's plate as he works his way back from a hamate injury.

According to @benwag247 on the radio broadcast, Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday told Wagner that he’s slated to play third base as part of his rehab assignment tomorrow at Double-A Chesapeake. Holliday has mostly played second in his MLB career

@PigTownSports If you are not hitting consistently, you better be fielding your position. Mayo hasn't done that. There have been a lot of balls that he didn't play that weren't called errors too. At least Cowser can field above average.
English
Of 219 qualified hitters (100 PA) Coby Mayo Ranks
AVG .152 215th
OBP .218 217th
SLG .283 201st
OPS .500 213th
wRAA -7.4 209th
wOBA .227 216th
RBIS 12 165th
Ks 31 134th
Hitting just .200 on pitches in the zone
Adjustments are needed quickly for him or maybe a reset
English
@MorrisChestbutt @PigTownSports I guess we could have Mullins batting a wopping .148
English
@PigTownSports Please, Please Please send Mayo packing!! I don't care who we bring up, it will be better than living with this failed experiment
English
@KenWeinmanSport I said it last night.. Coby Mayo has no right to be playing 3rd base at the MLB level. It's a matter of time every game when he will make a boneheaded play
English
Coby Mayo can’t play third base. I’m sorry but he didn’t field it cleanly and then uncorked a terrible throw to first. Orioles lose 4-3 in walk-off fashion
English
@KenWeinmanSport Your right, because he can't field. Period... look how many pitches followed that
English
That’s not an easy play for Mayo but he had zero chance to catch that
English
@PigTownSports it's about time to have a serious discussion with him and drop him in the lineup to 8th or 9th. Then let's see if he responds
English
Now that’s 6 games with 3 + Ks in a game
PigTownSports@PigTownSports
For the 15th game this season , Gunnar Henderson has struck out 2 or more times in a game He’s only had 4 games with 0 strikeouts on the season
English
@kataltobelli @PigTownSports I am totally with you. Him joining will take the focus off the rest of the team... The can handle it. But no, we go get another scrap heap pitcher that gets rocked.
English
@PigTownSports Time to call Trevor Bauer.
1. We are in dire straits.
2. He will play for free (donate his league-minimum salary to The Orioles Charitable Foundation).
3. The backlash will give baseball fans a hot topic to discuss.
4. It will blow over when he pitches well.
English
Since 6/20/24
Not one Oriole has over an .800 OPS
7 have a 25% or higher K rate
Only 3 players above a 100 wRC+
Only 3 active players with over 700 PA
Just so much turn over and bad play all around

On June 20, 2024, the Orioles crushed the Yankees for a 17-5 win in the Bronx. Mike Elias later referenced June 2024 as when the Orioles were "on top of the sport in almost every facet." Baltimore was 49-25 following that win after going 101-61 the year before. The organization also had a top-ranked farm system. Since that win, the Orioles went 42-46 to finish the 2024 campaign, 75-87 last season, and are now 15-19 this year after three straight losses to the Yankees. In total, that is a 132-152 record. That is a .465 winning percentage — or a 75-win pace over a 162-game season.
English
The Orioles are on pace to suffer their fifth straight loss by five or more runs, which is the longest streak in franchise history
English
Trent Grisham scores an unearned run on a sacrifice fly. The Yankees lead, 3-0
Andy Kostka@afkostka
A short-hopped throw to cut-off man Gunnar Henderson from Leody Taveras on a double is not picked by Henderson, and that allows Trent Grisham to reach third with one out. Another sloppy instance for this Orioles team
English
@PigTownSports Chris Davis last season was around 30.5%. He was getting run out of town. About time the press started to really put the heat on Gunnar. He needs to be accountable.
English
Coming into today he had a 30.9% K rate which was 26th highest in baseball
And added to it
Hell likely end the day in the top 15
Alex@Alex_1228__
Henderson strikes out at an alarming rate. Isn’t he supposed to be a superstar ?
English
Blaze Alexander hits an RBI single to right field to score Weston Wilson and ties this game 1-1 between the Yankees and Orioles.
Alexander stumbled after rounding first, though, and is tagged out on the bases
English
@PigTownSports 6 hits per game isn't going to cut it. Somehow we need to get more consistent with the AB's. Dang, the Astros had six hits in the 1st inning of game 2.
English
Great start by Bassitt
Great offensive outing
Great game by JJ
Defense still needs to improve overall to burry teams and not keep them around
English
@SimplyAJ10 @Jim22Palmer @Orioles watch the documentary Fastball'. It's all about technology and where measurements were made. The technology has come a long way. While guys may be throwing harder, in my opinion, not 4-5 mph that announcers want you to believe. My opinion
English
We speak about Velo so much that I have a question. How hard did you throw @Jim22Palmer and can you explain to the younger generation about the hard throwers you’ve seen in your 60 plus years in baseball @Orioles

English
@PigTownSports The ball had to hit perfectly on the wall to richocet in that direction. 30+ years and I have never seen that. Crazy!
English
I only knew about this spot because I seen a kids trying to hide in it during the Little League Day walking around the field
Never would think a ball could find its way in there
But that's baseball
Andy Kostka@afkostka
Craig Albernaz said this right field nook at Camden Yards is in play, although no one has seen it. Dylan Beavers picked it out for what would be Dustin Harris' triple. "That's something we're going to continue to look into, maybe have to change the ground rules," Albernaz said
English
@jcalvinmeyer have seen Cowser have 2 stretches in his career where it looked good. he and Mayo are bad.
English
Craig Albernaz when asked if he considered pinch hitting for Colton Cowser in the 9th inning:
"No. Colton, he's our guy, and he has to figure it out how he wants to approach guys and what he's trying to feel. But with Colton at the plate, he's dangerous. He's a guy where, if he's not feeling great, he can still get one pitch and do damage on, and that's something where we feel very confident in."
English
@jcalvinmeyer it's about time we all rise up and blast this front office for even thinking Cowser will turn this around the the big league level. I am sick and tired of watching Cowser looking so inept! Furthermore, the O's and announcers making excuses for him.
English
@jcalvinmeyer Get rid of Cowser and that will cut out a third of the Ks per game
English
The Orioles are tied for the third most strikeouts per game in MLB at 9.43 per game.
Only the Rockies and Angels are striking out more often.
English
@KenWeinmanSport not going to happen as long as Cowser and Mayo are in the everyday lineup. We have seen enough. Send them down and give someone else a shot
English
It’s going to be fun when these bats catch fire. At least that’s what I keep telling myself
English
@jcalvinmeyer how long are we going to tolerate this nonsense. The worst part is that Beavers is sliding down that same slope. New coaches, same result. Sample size is large enough to know Cowser is not going to turn it around at the MLB level
English
Colton Cowser is 0-for-3 with three strikeouts looking tonight
