Had to create a 40 man roster spot. Hess being optioned wouldn't of done that. Ramierez is the most recent pitcher sent down and most likely to make it through waivers.

Probably think they can slip him through.

That would require 2, 25 man moves. They can option Rickard, which creates the spot for Broxton. But they would need a spot for Stewart.

Different ball this year.

Teams are posting a lot less during games this year in general, because MLB issued them a statement telling them to limit/stop posting video clips. Teams are also not posting about injuries this season. Last season? There would of been a picture of the bruise and an Australian joke about it. This year? Nada.

He appeared more worried about the wall than the ball. Alberto had a bone headed drop in foul territory after calling off Davis. Just awful. Stevie was probably less than a foot away from robbing a home run in center. Timed it perfectly but it was just hit a little too far.

Per Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun: With Cedric Mullins struggling at the plate in late April and no real alternative in the fold to replace him, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde sat in his office with executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias and came up with a solution out of thin air. "Me and Mike were just talking about it one night, probably about three days before [Stevie Wilkerson] got here," Hyde said. "Not kidding. We had him play a game or two down in Norfolk, and then he came, and he's been playing center field quite a bit. "We were talking about a lot of things. I don't know if it was me or him who came up with it, but we sent a message down to Norfolk to see if we could get some time for him in center field. A few days later, he was here." The result has been a real spark — to the extent of any the Orioles have had this year. Wilkerson's fourth home run of the season helped them to a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday, and Saturday marked his 12th start in center field in his past 13 games, knocking Joey Rickard into more of a reserve role. Wilkerson, 27, entered Saturday hitting .333 in that stretch and .292on the year. He’s had some difficult moments in center field but nothing glaring for a player who had never played it before being thrust into the role for a few days in Norfolk before his call-up. What he does struggle with, he makes up for with athleticism. "That's what we were trying to come up with," Hyde said. "Looking for some athleticism and Stevie brings that. We wanted to see what that looked like down there. It probably happened a little faster than we anticipated, but we rolled the dice, took a chance and he's been playing well." With Mullins still trying to steady himself at Norfolk, and Austin Hays finally back in games, there are more options behind Wilkerson than there were at the time. Mason Williams is also center field depth at Norfolk, but it's not as if Wilkerson will be hearing footsteps with the way he's playing. "I just like the at-bats he's taking," Hyde said. "He's playing with nothing to lose and leaving it out on the field. It's fantastic. "I just think he's a really good athlete. He's going to make some mistakes here and there, but the more reps he's getting out there, you see the improvement and I just like the speed factor. I like the aggressiveness. I think he's going to get better and better as he continues playing the outfield."

I hope he gets better at realizing what he can and can't get to. I do like the effort though. Davis has had 2 brain dead throwing plays in 2 weeks.

*Holds up 4 fingers*

Or on the OH board.

To be fair, 80% of Bowies swings this year have been helpless...

It looks like they locked the fans outside...

This is why Orioles fans can't have nice things.

Hyde: Hey Severino, Sisco just homered again. Severino: *Cranks one out, giving him more with the Orioles than he had with the Nationals.* Wynns: *Texts Dempsey*

It helps they are playing at 4 instead of 7 like usual. Doesn't bode well for the "A League Of Their Own" movie afterward though.

Even when he isn't at his best, he still seems to limit the damage.

Lot of communication problems. I blame it on there being no real consistency on who is out there plus players playing in new spots.

Well, one person reported he was moving his family. Another just reported Sucre is in a contract dispute.

He was just relocating his family.
