If the Nationals had a 15+ inning game where they used up all their relievers, would Ankiel be the position player out of the bullpen?

I guess it's a hidden benefit of having a pitcher-converted-position player as a regular. Of course, he might still have forgotten how to throw strikes...

Sure, but who would you rather have pitching, Chris Davis or Rick Ankiel?

Knowing what I know now? Chris Davis.

On an somewhat related note, I was doing some cleaning a few days ago and I found my Rick Ankiel Johnson City Cardinals bobblehead doll from when he was sent down to Rookie ball.

Okay, how about Darnell McDonald versus Ankiel? :laughlol:

      Fastest Orioles of All Time

      By larrytt · Posted

      Jorge Mateo is one of the fastest runners in baseball, and Cedric Mullins and Ryan McKenna are also pretty fast. I remember Al Bumbry as being super fast. Luis Aparicio, Brady Anderson, and Brian Roberts were also fast, but probably not Mateo fast. If you lined up all the fastest Orioles since 1954 for a 100 meter sprint, who would win or finish in the top five?

      Grayson Rodriguez Expectations

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      He did exceed my innings expectation, by quite a lot, especially if you count his AAA stint. I was wildly optimistic in my projection (2.75 ERA) but he hit that during the second half so I'll give myself credit for being half right (and more importantly, give Grayson credit for hitting my expectation at least during that window).

      Winter 2023 40-Man Additions

      I think you’re right.  There’s a good chance none of them are protected.   I liked what I saw of Brandon Young.  Being that he’s RH I think the odds are low that someone would take him as a bullpen piece.  If the Orioles really like him and have plenty of 40 man space, maybe they protect him?

      The 2023 high water mark thread

      By foxfield · Posted

      It has truly been a most fantastical season.  Every minute of it...yes even the dropped ball by McKenna.  Looking forward to seeing playoff baseball.  And as the Orioles wrap up a 162 game season, let's remember to not be too hard on all those knuckleheads that don't believe in this team. Not many here expected what we have seen.  But man, has this been fun.

      I haven't visited any professional locker rooms, but that one seems like they're going to need remediation after that. Low, drop ceilings, foam tiles and fluorescent lights... I guess you don't want the visitors to be too comfortable but geez. Maybe the Rays are helping with an insurance claim the Sox were waiting to submit.

      Grayson Rodriguez Expectations

      By MCO'sFan · Posted

      Yeah, I was extremely disappointed with how his season started even back to ST. It was brutal to watch. But couldn't be happier with his performance since coming back. To get his ERA down to 4.35 was crazy. I want to see progression in getting deeper into games next year.
