really good at bats here. Maddon goofed up IMHO and I thought so prior to the homer.

Yep. Pulled Hellickson too early. A guy who's on his game as well as he was, pulling at under 100 pitches? Madness. Utter madness. Unless the bases are loaded with 0 outs or something (with none of the baserunners reaching due to a fielding error), you keep the kid in.

The Orioles did not concede this game just because they need to have Dana Eveland, It was a major leage quality start. Better than the Red Sox got out of their 17 million dollar man. Or the Yankees will get out of Andy Pettitte.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Exciting night.     His arm could still explode on his next pitch like anybody, but the scenario feels very Dodgers. The rosiest scenario is Bradish and Grayson spend the rest of their Orioles pitching careers like Glasnow or Yamamoto, or Ohtani starting next year. He was a hand-me-down from Duquette, but he's the one getting to have the career so far that Sigbot envisioned for Brady Aiken or Forrest Whitley.     Watching management manage and the player want to be unshackled figures to be fine entertainment. I guess an arbitrator wouldn't give money for regular season stats you were forecasted to have but didn't have because your talent was being rationed.    I'm fuzzy if postseason stats get to count in arbitration.

      Is there a backpedalling option to DFA where you can pull the guy back and put him back on your 40 man?

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Frobby · Posted

      I agree with your characterization.  See my earlier post before all the expert analysis of Holliday’s weightlifting exploits.  I’m just making a general observation that Cal needs to be more careful now.  This comment doesn’t particularly concern me.

      Orioles Sign Daniel Johnson to mil contract (tea leaves?)

      That’s fine. I’m just saying, Mullins doesn’t have a track record of being a star at the plate and he did not look as good visually over the first 3 week as the OPS stated.

      But he's expressing his opinion in hindsight and not questioning the actual move to bring him up.   He not saying he wouldn't have brought him up.  He's saying that since he struggled so much MAYBE he needed more AAA time.  Maybe he was affected by the hoopla.   He was questioned on why Holliday struggled.   He gave the same guesses the rest of the world is giving, including Elias.    His answer equates to "I don't really know but it could be this".   It's not even close to "At the time, I thought they called him up too soon".

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      He’s under the ball, and pulling everything.  It’s either strikeouts, pop outs, or grounders to the right side.  I agree it’s very tough to watch.  I still say he he’ll get at least another 4-6 weeks to snap out of it before the O’s make any significant change to his role.

      My hope is that someone will be anxious to have him and will trade us something in order to jump the line.
