Dickerson serves a purpose.

That he does. Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears, outside of Dickerson, Avery is the only other CFer we have on the 40-man and McLouth probably plays a better CF then him. If we let Dickerson go and something happens to AJ we wouldn't want to run McLouth out there for an extended period and even having Avery on the ML bench is a waste of space, IMO.

Thames, who is not quite back from injury anyway, doesn't play CF. I have no idea if Pridie can play CF, I suppose Trayvon can, and neither of them are on the 40-man. It would be a bit of a gamble to lose Dickerson even though he is contributing very little these days.

Then again, Dickerson wasn't on the opening day roster... Don't know if Casilla or Flaherty could cover in a pinch. Although, that reminds me, if Urritua was added to the 40-man they could just send down Flaherty for the 25-man spot.

What purpose does Reimold serve. I'm still waiting to see it.

Oh, I agree. Just not sure the O's (Buck) are ready to sever ties yet, well that and his right-handedness at the plate. We'll see. Maybe he could be part of a trade package for a relief arm that way we can empty a 40-man spot while acquiring a new player. You would think that he falls into the same category as Strop and Arrieta in DD's mind.

    • Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!
    • I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".
    • He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
    • Baumann gave up #50
    • Absolutely unbelievable.  3rd homer was off a position player, but who cares.  Just a tremendous performance by an exceptional talent.
    • Going into today NL was up 352-311 in Interleague play.  2977 - 2851 in runs.     Perhaps a partial explanation is that the NL is overall better this year. That said 3 games vs any team says very little.    Odd stat. 
    • I do think it is an interesting bone to pick at if analytical preparation is tiered like ticket prices, and the guys just aren't as ready for "random NL pitcher" as they are for Chris Bassitt or Luis Gil. We'll see in the coming years.     The 2024 National League champions will get the full treatment if we are that fortunate. You can't pitch Corbin Burnes every day or tax too many brain cells with Hayden Birdsong.
