Yes. The roster can be reset for each series
That's kind of what I expect. If the O's make it to the ALCS or World Series, I could really see Bautista being available. Higher reward to offset the risk at that point.

What is the freakin fascination of Fujinami for Hyde?
Hyde or Elias?

Clemens himself was the lone Fangraphs writer who picked the Orioles to win the AL East in their preseason poll. Not that I’m faulting the other writers; very few people including our own posters saw this season coming. I’m mostly annoyed at their so-called power rankings that seem to disregard things like actually winning games and beating other teams.
All power rankings are pretty much just click bait to begin with

I personally love reading the write ups Fangraphs does when they do an Orioles-specific article. Hell, one of the main guys is an Orioles fan. Another one is named Mike Baumann. Perhaps another reason to not like Fangraphs, for some.
There's a difference between their numbers that hate the Orioles and their analysis.

About as good of a lineup they can put out for an afternoon game with Mountcastle out.
No Alvarez for the Astros.

Is McKenna now out of options?

Thanks for the clarification. I really don't want to see us push Bautista, as great as he is. While the club needs to be in win-now mode he has his whole career ahead of him and should not risk it. I don't know the full extent of the injury but if he is being asked to go out there in a compromised state I hope he respectfully declines.
If he pitches, it seems more like "welp, we can't do any further damage to the arm". They'd be more delaying surgery than making it worse. Delaying it isn't good either, but if he can throw in a high leverage inning or two in the ALCS, the reward is potentially a World Series appearance.
My bigger concern would be whether or not Bautista can be effective.

Tyler Wells has a 5.14 ERA and has walked 7 in 14 minor league innings. He’s still not right. I don’t think you want that version of Wells.
People here need to get over Wells for this season. It's not gonna happen.
The O's have enough arms and now have a five man rotation. They're in the middle of a 17 game stretch. Need a day off more than anything. That'll happen Monday.

I think the bullpen can limp through the end of the season and get us the division. The decision here should be all about the playoffs. We can really shorten up who we use in the postseason and it will be some combination of Cano, Coulombe, Perez, Webb, Hall, and Fujinami, probably listed in order of trustworthiness. Lopez and Baumann won't see the light of day unless it's a blowout. I think Flaherty would slot nicely in here given 3 of our top 5 are lefties.
It will be interesting who we line up as the fourth starter as well. My guess is it will be Gibson on an extremely short leash followed quickly by Means or Irvin.
Lopez isn't eligible for the playoffs. I have some confidence in that bullpen lineup you've listed, especially if Flaherty can see an uptick in velocity and effectiveness. I don't know if Gibson would really be effective out of the 'pen, but Means might be.
I could see Bautista added to the ALCS roster if the O's make it.

DFA and resign to a milb contract. We have plenty of RP depth where we don't need to pay him 1.5 mil
Irvin needs to be up now as the long man.
At least give up Lopez's spot to someone who could maybe pitch their way onto the postseason roster. I know Baker isn't the most loved on this forum, but I'd much rather give him the innings over Lopez and see if he can figure some things out. Or Cole Irvin. But at this point, it's a little too late.
Irvin is pretty much blocked by whichever two starters are moved to the bullpen for the playoffs, though.

I watch all of the games on MLB.Tv, but haven’t had any issues. I generally watch the away broadcasts though. But I’ve never had this problem in the probably 15+ years I’ve been watching MLB.tv

I’m honestly excited to see if he can be a boost to the bullpen

They probably will, but that won't prevent the peanut gallery from second guessing, especially if we lose!
Two batters into last night’s game: “Means is a horrible matchup against this right handed lineup and the ballpark’s left field. We are going to lose”
5 innings in: “How could they take Means out after 86 pitches????”
-
I think this is a matter of risk/reward. I don’t think Bautista will be available in the wildcard or division series.
The ALCS and the World Series? Maybe
-
Yeah, I’m in the camp that Means was not great yesterday. I like Means, and hope he pitches his way into the playoff rotation, but two starts in and he’s been average at best. And they still need to extend his outings.
Means will be on the playoff roster, but I think as of this moment Gibson has the fourth spot over Means.
-
Gunnar's not making it a priority and O'Hearn is getting more run with Mountcastle unavailable. Santander is in a slump.
Those numbers do need improve, though.
-
Not sold on Means. He only gave up 1 run last night but did not pitch particularly well. Definitely don't want him pitching two games. But they're not going to go with a 3 man rotation.
Bradish and Rodriguez are 1-2, likely in that order, though interchangeable. Kremer is getting a start in there. I think Gibson gets a spot, but that could change.
Unconventional, but I don't think a five man rotation is out of the equation.
-
Lol @ O’Hearn being the defensive replacement
-
Not sure why he didn’t run but I’ll take it
-
Ump has had a big strikezone all night for both teams

Hope Cano gets borderline calls in 9th…
I don’t. Perez is coming in.

Pressly is really laboring this inning. The only out was on a bad call to Adley.

The O’s are hungover with 16 hits.

Edit: wrong thread
So, do we leave Felix OFF the post season roster?
in Orioles Talk

I think that would be the reasoning. The only risk would be effectiveness and how many IP he can pitch (as well as delaying the Tommy John, but that's already happened). The risk isn't worth the reward in the Divisional Series. But may be in the ALCS or the World Series.
