I sure did not

What’s crazy is that he is pitching well. Fingers crossed.

Whew! Gotta get that bat in the lineup!

Nevin too

Makes sense.

List of op outs: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/several-veterans-on-minor-league-deals-have-sunday-opt-outs.html plus with roster reductions….gotta think some opportunities there…

Thanks for the great detail/recap! Sounds promising. Bowie & Delmarva struggling too.

He should not be rushed. People calling for that are misguided. Elias should have targeted better stopgaps and this team would be much better imo.

He deserved the chance by earning it, I like that. Let’s give him some time & see what he does. Def not blown away by any Elias trades so far though. Bradish best trade? Liked Mateo waiver claim. Pedro. Santander/ Wells picks. He needs to be evaluating existing prospects and the ones they feel won’t make it, trade for assets. That’s what good orgs do, no?

Owings & Odor please and recall another catcher

Depends immensely on each draft class immensely. But also baseball is hard and the odds are against you & those odds are even less in later rounds so why not take the BPA. I wish the Ravens would draft for Elias.

Lawlar tearing it up. So incredibly stupid they didn’t pick Lawlar: https://www.milb.com/player/jordan-lawlar-691783

Geesh, what awful news.

I thought that as well lol

I honestly would consider inviting him back. Better than the “pieces” Elias cobbled together.

We have catchers at Norfolk hitting…Cumberland & Nottingham.

He thought, how can I ensure this team is not competitive.

Agree 110%. Or injured.

Owings & Odor please

Lowther lit up again tonight.

Back to the draft. Elias needs to face for accountability.

Agreed

I would rather have had Mateo bat. Get the logic, hot hand but is this really the best Elias could have done this off-season? Even on the cheap you could do better than Odor & Owings.

Honestly missed that, didn’t see whole game given time.
