AceKing

He is Catching the first game of a DH right now. He is 1 for 3 with 2 runs scored. The Os are winning 7-1 in the 6th inning , so he is catching a great game. AND he has a Stolen Base.

Wish I could vote for “All of the above”

Yeah having another dominating game right now.....He seems to be loving Bowie.

Yeah maybe if it wasn’t a billion degrees outside they could push him. He needs 2 fast, clean innings....

Get off my lawn. So sure he is not a rookie but he realistically never should have been in MLB before right now.

Paralysis by analysis

Of course he did.

Beat me to it

Doesn’t mean it was the right thing to do. And if Santander and someother AAAA guys were our big get.....still not convinced it is the correct strategy to Win.

Its like boiling a frog slowly. They don’t realize it until it is too late. No matter what they change, it doesn’t change the fact that the 25 man roster spot is way too valuable for contending teams. so we decide every year, before the season even starts, that we are not going to be a contending team just on the basis of trying to keep a Rule 5 guy.

At least Martin can play SS well and filled an immediate need. Most of the time we have just been picking guys for the sake of picking them, and hoping they work out. Here we are.

Yeah it seem like in hindsight we were trotting our really bad and tired bullpen arms a lot of the time. Our staff ERA was always high (still is), and I seem to remember inherited runners scoring all the time. maybe it is apples and oranges, but championship teams do not have roster space for Rule 5 dudes.

Do we agree that our teams would have been better equipped to win if we never even bothered with the Rule 5?

Obv not the best in baseball over the last few years, but is he the best of the bunch from these past several years (the years since we seem to have them every year)? I hope he continues to get better....he sure is a tough out right now.

And there is talk of us trading these guys away rn. There are lots of good baseball players that were “former Orioles”

It really sucks that we have like zero success stories like this right now.

Nice. 7 very strong innings...so far...75 pitches, 47 strikes

Yeah and they just drafted him. You want him to do more? Start at Norfolk?

Thought this guy deserves a thread after being pretty dominant so far... 4 shutout innings as a starter today gives him 8 scoreless innings at GCL so far. no walks and 6 K’s on the year leaves him.038 whip. so 0.00 ERA and .038 whip after 3 games. GCL shut out the GCL Red Sox today 2-0

This is pretty harsh. Rude, unnecessary and hyperbolic. Downvote worthy imo.

Me me me me

Well, not the best start ever, but it is a start. It can only get better from here.

Maybe “deliberate” is better suited. This is the first time that this FO has done this, remember, and they have shown to be patient, and thorough.

We need a “wOBAOPISOwRC+” Get on it, Sig.

I don’t know if he rises to the “Cito Gaston” level just yet
