I suspect DJ Stewart is DFA'd after the season if not before the season ends.

This is a SSS but Mike Elias can be proud of this group he has put together so far.

You can say that about any draftee who hasn't played yet. Coby Mayo may certainly be something as well.

I don't know he sounds like a likely starter for the Orioles the rest of the season! ?

If a team with their low payroll is having cashflow problems then there are many teams with cash flow problems. I don't believe that for one second. Because of Covid they aren't generating the cash they were before but they are far from broke. MLB players are still getting big time contracts.

The happiest man alive right now is Brandon Hyde because he doesn't have to field anymore Chris Davis questions after this week.

It tells you that player rep Chris Davis is very concerned about not getting paid next season. If not he just had to show up at spring training if they had one and receive his whole salary next year. Now he is 100% sure he will get it just over 3 years. He will have to adjust his spending budget but I am sure he will be fine.?

Chris Davis knew there is a decent possibility that there will be a strike/lockout and he might not get paid or would be paid less next season. I assume they reached some kind of settlement.

I don't think they are going to let him go more than 80 or so pitches anytime this season. They decided this right or wrong when they went into the season. Next season I am sure they will let them go more but coming off them not playing in games last year this is what they think is best.

These are the best reasons for him not to be here now. Thanks for making this point.

No not at all.

You know that is probably the correct business decision but as a fan I don't give a hoot about service time. I want to see the best baseball players playing on the major league team. This is probably especially the correct decision given the fact that there is going to be a new CBA but again as a fan I don't care. I think the system is broken.

Severino leaves the game and could be headed to the IL. I guess they would bring up Cumberland and move Adley to AAA. Could they bring Adley up? Probably not but it is probably easy to say he is the better player in the minors by far.

It looks like he may be heading to the IL. I guess Cumberland comes up and Adley gets his promotion to AAA.

Batting practice again tonight. I know it is about eating innings this year but it is hard not to turn off the game when he comes in.

I don't hear much about Cody Sedlock but he seems to have had another good start tonight., 5 2/3 innings 1ER on a HR, 4 hits 1 BB, 5 K's. Take out that first bad start and he has been ok. Don't know about his stuff or anything. At 26 he probably has pitched well enough to see what he can do at AAA.

It worked for Cedric Mullins. His stuff is too good for him to pitch this bad. It has to be mostly between his ears. When Grayson goes to Norfolk maybe you send him and tell him just try to dominate hitters at that level with your stuff.

I think you are correct. A friend of mine named his son that as well. Very topical with Top Gun II coming out soon.

You have to love a guy named Maverick!

Tonight versus Jacksonville, 6IP, 0ER, 1 Hit, 2 Walks, 6 K's, He threw 83 pitches. No-hit them through 5 2/3 innings. I expect he could get to Baltimore this years since he is on the 40 man. Dean Kremer is coming in relief in the 7th inning.

I was referring to Jim Palmer who Frobby was talking about in his post.

If he keeps this up for the rest of the season would you bring him back next season? Obviously not scoreless streak forever but and ERA around 4 for the rest of the season.

I don't think many Oriole fans realize how GREAT he was for so long. He should have won two more Cy Youngs than he did.

I don't think Earl would have played him much because he is basically platooning now and he is hitting .201 against right handed pitching. Guys like Benny Ayala hit .309 against Left handed pitching in 1982. That is what Earl liked. When Santander comes back I would cut Stewart before McKenna for the reasons given in this thread.

He hit another HR today.
