Roch said there are only 39 on the 40 man now so maybe this was planned a little.

Wait until tomorrow to find out.

You must not understand how the reverse jinx works.

Que up the Derek Jeter commercial!!

If the reverse jinx ever worked the Orioles would score 15 runs a game.

56 MPH piss missle!!!

With Grayson, Bradish, and Burnes in this rotation this team won’t have too many losing streaks. Hopefully Irvin can be a decent 4th or 5th starter. I am betting Povich gets his chance tomorrow.

Makes sense.

So if a pitcher has reverse splits why don’t the switch hitters bat the side the pitcher is weaker at?

I was thinking maybe a call up as well but then why does he pinch hit in the 7th inning when they are up 6 runs?

You are going to need to hit one real hard to get one out tonight. Those fly balls are dying fast into that wind it looks like.

Kjersted didn’t start tonight in Norfolk but came in to pinch hit when Norfolk was up 8-2. I find that a bit strange.

Tomorrow's a day game after a night game and maybe they want Adley to catch a possible rookie debut.

I will take Elias decision record over what people think on this board. The Orioles won 101 games last year and on a pace to win 101 this year. There are 2 rookies in the Oriole lineup everyday in Cowser and Westburg. Henderson is in his second year.

Too bad the Orioles lost again! Oh what they won?

What do they need to fix? They brought up Heasley today and he choked with a 6 run lead. It happens. He will probably be replaced. Cano got a hold and Kimbrel got the save. The Orioles are 30-18. They were in a hitting slump but a few good pitchers in there got them. The other team is trying too. The St Louis Cardinals are 3 game under 500 but hardly a trash team. If you ever watched a baseball season before there are ups and downs.

Well I didn’t realize that. I just read he had options. I would at least say look if he agrees to go down he will at least play. I don’t know what his pay structure is if he chooses to be optioned. If it results in a pay cut then I wouldn’t do it in that case.

I agree. That is why he would be best served being optioned since he can be optioned. Go down and work on getting himself straight.

Santander was their most consistent offensive weapon last year. I think they may have been open to dealing him but they weren’t going to give away someone who hit 28 homeruns last year.

I would think they just stick with a 5 man rotation. If they brought Povich up they might just stick him in the bullpen like they did DL Hall for the season and try to start him next year. This is about winning now.

I do agree it is time for an extended look at an outfield of Cowser, Stowers, and Santander. It is also not a bad defensive outfield either. I, and I know I am in the minority, haven’t given up on Mullins yet. I do think I would make the bold move to option Mullins to Norfolk because he needs to play everyday if he is going to get out of this funk. That is how I would sell it to him as well. Cedric you are going down to play everyday because I can’t justify playing you everyday in the major leagues. You hit down there and you will have a place back here on the big club.

Come on they have lost three in a row. They have played 500 ball the last 10 games. We had the first “I don’t think they will finish 500 post” in the game thread. Who is chicken little?

Whatever happens unless this just a set back of a week or two it most likely will prevent John Means from ever getting any kind of big payday. I do feel sorry for him in that regard. For three years he was a real good pitcher for this team who threw a no hitter. Seems like a even better human being and teammate. I hope he can comeback from this.

Yes there is no doubt being asked about this all the time puts some kind of pressure. The best cure for being swept in a 3 game road trip is getting to play the 2024 Chicago White Sox.

I think Mullins instincts off that batted ball tells him that is at least a base hit. He is thinking about scoring to tie the game. I don’t think it is so terrible as everyone else seems here. If Mullins was hitting 290 I think more people might see it differently. Whether or not they keep giving him chances won’t rely on his choice on that one play.
