Casilla is the worst pinch runner. Has gotten thrown out twice on the bases.

That's a pretty foolish statement. Casilla has been thrown out twice on the bases on 9 steal attempts, a 78% success rate, which is high. For his career, he has an 88% success rate. The guy is an excellent pinch runner. He's also an excellent defender. He just isn't too adept at getting on base.

Looks like Masterson is supposed to pitch tomorrow so that would mean his next turn would come against us on Monday.

The more you know.................

Also, isn't Betemit due up today? Any predictions on who gets the boot?

IMO it has to be Flaherty.

Any truth to the issue that some think Betemit has with running? Has anybody actually seen him play in rehab?

If the corresponding roster move is to demote Flaherty or another player to the minor leagues, I'll be interested to see where they send him. Barring injury to another player, the player sent down can't come back for 10 days or until the season is over for the minor league team that he's sent to. That means that any player sent to Norfolk, Bowie, Frederick, or Delmarva can't come back until Sept. 3 and a player sent to Aberdeen can't come back until Sept. 6.

However, the GCL Orioles' season ends on August 29 so the player could come back as soon as the rosters expand on September 1. IIRC the Orioles did this type of move once with Garrett Olson, sending him to Bluefield in the last few days of August and then bringing him back up on September 1 when the rosters expanded. I believe that he was only down for a few days and was back to pitch on regular rest.

So if it's Flaherty (or whoever), don't be surprised if they're sent down to GCL Orioles so he can come back sooner.

If it's Casilla DFA'd, see you later and thanks for nothing!

they should have 24 hours to actually do something with him, maybe after the game tonight, they make a move????

If they're able to wait until after tonight's game, they could send Chen down to the GCL Orioles and have him back up here for his next turn on 9/1.

I thought he would have to be on the 25-man roster at 8/31/13 at 11:59:59? Or is there some additional piece if info related to the GCL O's that I'm missing or neglecting here?

I think Betemit may be activated a few hours. The O's add him to the 25 man roster for Wednesday's game and DL him after the game because he can't run. Just a guess.

I don't think they'd screw with him like that. After refusing to extend his rehab stint for only like 5 days there's no WAY he and his agent won't fight a fake DL stint.

      I assume you're talking about about the 3-2 fastball that got hit for a grand slam, it was the 3 batters before that Baker walked and not even being competitive, that was the low point of the season for Me. It was Baker that put him in a Jackpot.

      Food prices at Camden Yards

      I think baseball's food concessions are largely an overpriced rip-off. The hot dog served at OPCY is the highest priced hot dog in the majors..In Miami you can get a hot dog at the park for 3 dollars.The entire price for attending a sporting event with a good seat is getting out of hand, and so is ALL entertainment.If you want a really good seat to see a top act you might have to take out a loan. Disneyland and Disney World are getting so expensive, that a middle class family of four simply is priced out of access.But back to baseball concessions. I dont eat meat, but I wouldn't buy a 9 dollar hot dog anywhere , let alone OPCY. I bring my food with me. It's the last line of affordability we're going to have in attending a ball game. Concession prices are unfair, but at least you can eat before the game...or  bring your own water and peanuts. Otherwise it's a shame...and it's wrong.

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Pretty much how I feel.

      I don't know what got into him. I wonder if he made an adjustment or someone helped "fix" something..

      I'd rather a thread by Roy saying that we should cut him now. The reverse jinx works both ways, so I think this thread is a biiiiiig mistake. That said, he was so good this series. Love that for him. On a broader point, this org does something right that's beyond the talent in the room. I assume it's advance scouting our opponents and preparation, but we're a step above.

      Food prices at Camden Yards

      By Orioles Jim · Posted

      It does tend to have the lowest (out the door) prices but buyer beware a bit. We used them for Opening Day and it was a bit of a debacle (the first private seller never delivered, then they got us a second “preferred seller” that also never delivered, and then FINALLY came through with a third “preferred seller” that came through, albeit it took more than a few minutes). Dealing with all of this, while waiting on hold, and missing the start of Opening Day festivities definitely sucked and made for a stressful situation.  But, yesterday, for just me, for a matinee game in which the out the door price was $9 and I was already going to be arriving midway through the 1st inning, it worked great. So it might just depend on your situation, but like I said, buyer beware.
