@Frobby, that list tells me that being in Norfolk is the last stop of a catchers career 90% of the time...
Isn’t that pretty much true for all positions? Baseball is cruel.

Yeah Hyde fault not the 0-14 from the offense with runners in scoring position and being no hit the first 6 innings or so.
This. I didn’t like having Baumann in there, but Hyde didn’t lose this game. Heck, several of Hyde’s late game moves helped put the Orioles in position to win the game. But I did hate having Baumann in the game in that situation.

Yeah well your exact quote on Thursday at 15;26 in this thread was.....and I quote....
The odds of it actually being his wife are not good.
That was rude and uncalled for.
So I am going to disagree with you there.
Apology incoming?
Are you going to apologize for your rude comments? Maybe I missed your apologies?
Your posts in this thread range from immature and borderline dumb, to obnoxious and outright gross. It’s disappointing that the thread wasn’t locked yesterday. I’m shocked that @Tony-OH or one of the moderators didn’t shut down this clown show. This devolved very quickly into the standard chest thumping idiotic crap that makes up so much of the internet. This is relatively rare for the OH and I hope the moderators shut threads like this sooner than later in the future, as they have done thousands of times in the past. The moderation is a big part of what has made the OH the best part of the internet for many of us for many years.
Now I’m going to put you back on ignore and sulk about the orioles loss in the real world.

How hard is it to switch to the video feed? We had Ben and Kevin being big goofballs.
I actually do that a decent amount. I will sometimes use the video feed on the mlb tv app on my phone and use phone speakers or ear buds. Radio on the app was nicer because easier to have phone in pocket. Usually if the screen darkens in video mode the broadcast stops, so hard to stick phone in pocket. Handy while working in the yard, etc.
first world problem for sure.

Melanie is not good on the radio. The radio broadcast quality has been trending down for years and Melanie just adds to the problem. In years past I loved to listen to weekend games on the radio while piddling around the house. Not so much these days.

I think they're stuck with them for at least a couple months. And they certainly won't be THIS bad for that long.
But I hope Elias isn't expecting some magical return for those guys. He's not likely to get one.
I'm sure Elias will have realistic expectations, but I don't think Hayes is going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, I think all of them are likely to be with the Orioles for most or even the entire season. Again, I, like most posters, want more of the prospects on the team, but that's not how Elias is rolling. I think Kemp goes for Holliday sometime in May (if Holliday continues to hit great and is at least adequate on defense), but I can see Elias waiting for injuries and more sustained crappiness before he does much with the outfielders. I think Elias will be more far more patient than most of posters will like.

Can you read? Srs question. Are you dyslexic?
What did I say?
IF I am the O's I cut or trade Mateo Urias, Hayes and Kemp and don't think twice about it.
You literally wrote that if you were the Orioles you would not think twice about cutting Hayes and Urias. Note your use of the word "or". That is a dumb statement. Very dumb.

Cutting Urias and Hayes and even Mateo would be completely idiotic. Those players have value. You don't cut them, you trade them. You should stick to bowling.

How much time/how many seasons are we planning to operate in this half-in and half-out manner?
I think Elias hopes to operate this way forever. Young players hammering on the door to the show while the MLB team wins. Orioles fans haven't seen this kind of thing since the '70s or even '60s. It is very rare in the modern game. And probably isn't sustainable for the O's unless the international prospects really pan out. It is frustrating in some ways, but good lord what a talented organization.

I am glad to see all the position prospects/young players performing well at the plate. (It sure beats the alternative!)
However, I am not particularly impressed to see players who are repeating a level (some for the THIRD) doing well at ANY level.
IMO our AAA lineup’s early season video game numbers speaks more about Elias’ hoarding talent philosophy/strategy and his extreme caution, more than anything else.
These players success shows that they don’t believe at that level and are not really being challenged from inferior competition, which does not really excite me. The logjam at AAA and our inability/apprehension with getting rid of guys at the Major League level who are not particularly useful for a World Series contender is more concerning to me.
This is an exaggeration. Holliday is not repeating a level. Mayo is not repeating a level. Kjerstad has not played a full season at AAA (about half a season of AAA games). Norby has played in 152 AAA games, two games more than one full AAA season. Stowers has played in 190 AAA games. So Norby and Stowers are really the only ones that are repeating AAA and neither of them have played two seasons worth of games in AAA (150 games per season). I too strongly wish that most of these guys were on the MLB roster, especially Holliday, but Norby and Stowers are really the only repeaters and they are clearly the second tier prospects in that list. Again, I wish most if not all of these guys were on the roster, but it's inaccurate IMO to chalk up their early season success to repeating a level as that is clearly not the case for Holliday, Mayo, and Kjerstad, although Kjerstad's developmental path is a weird beast because of his health issue.

First five hitters of this lineup are pretty good!
Only one walk. Bunch of losers.

Yes, I do know when he was selected.
Thirty-one teams can't pass on a player if you only have 30 teams in the league.
The Red Sox didn't have a pick until 69.
Twenty-nine teams passed on him.
I’m pretty sure you knew I was teasing you, but either way this response is very amusing. Kudos for never breaking character.

You do know that they only have 30 teams in the league right? And that not all of them had picks before Gunnar was selected?
You do know that Gunnar was the 42nd pick in the 2019 draft right?

The scorer gave him the throwing error - it was an underhand feed to SS Errol Robinson trying to start a 4-6-3 double play. I only saw it live but it didn't look like that bad of a feed to me.
Both defenses were terrible. Junior Caminero dropped a pop-up in Norfolk's big inning, and there was some other Benny Hill stuff.
Holliday, Mayo and Kjerstad all gave some back in Durham's big inning, when three of the errors occurred.
Kjerstad's fielding error was just plain dropping a routine 4-3 groundout. Holliday's throw was a little low, maybe shin high.
Mayo's throwing error a batter or two later - I think he may have been spooked some by the 1B having just dropped one from another infielder. It was a couple hopper Mayo was playing deep against a stronger bat, and he had to go a step or two right and back to glove it. A play to showcase his arm strength.
The throw was bad - low and kind of into the baseline near where the oncoming runner was. A play it was glaringly clear Kjerstad is a novice 1B. A good 1B may not have been able to make it, but it didn't look like Kjerstad even knew how to try and make the play. He just kind of watched it skip past.
1B Kjerstad and RF Norby notable defensive assignments for the Game 1 lineup.
Yuck

The first game in Camden yards was more special. Big national media coverage, more impact on Baltimore and baseball overall, etc. just my two cents.

Combined I think 150+. I think Means is fine and they are slow rolling Means to control his innings. I think the orioles will get some starts from Bradish.

My answer is less than 50. I think the result could certainly be more than that, but I think until it looks like that is probable, it would simply be a mistake to think you have that. This is certainly a vote where I hope to be wrong.
Less than 50 for the two of them combined?

It was beautiful.

Heston Kjerstad 2024
in Minors
Posted
Santander’s replacement in 2025 is looking great. I wonder how much playing time he’ll get on the MLB roster in 2024? Cowser is off to a good start and is the likely Hays replacement. As others have noted, kind of tough to see where Kjerstad plays as long as Hays is on the roster and Santander and Mullins are healthy.
