I thought the other day he wasn't happy with the results in batting practice...which is why Buck started Delmon Young in that game?

Who wasn't happy? Buck or Steve?

The guy hasn't he even batted yet...LOL. Way to keep him "fresh". We all know Young and Pearce are redundant..but come on. He can get an at bat some where at least...

For the record, I would keep one of Young and Pearce and get Weeks up here. He is hot, can get on base (at least walk) and sounds like play some OF too (not sure on how well he is in the OF though-would love some feedback there).

Buck has to try and find AB's for Pearce? Isn't this just a case for not having him on the team. I like Pearce but he has no role. He's just keeping a spot on the bench warm for his replacement. He could lose his spot when Machado comes back if they decide to keep all three of Schoop, Flaherty, and Lombardozzi. Even if he survives that, I think he's in great jeopardy when either of Peguero or Almanzar are ready to come back. The fact that Pearce is not even being used, is ammunition for carrying the Rule 5 pick.

Agree with most of this, but Peguero is not a legit contender to be on this team, especially as long as Jones and Lough are healthy.

Does anyone else find it borderline crazy that Pearce has not played? Why not just carry another pitcher or Weeks (who I would select) or Q Berry who can pinch run-even another catcher would be more valuable-makes zero sense.

I thought Buck was supposed to do a better job this year of keeping his bench players fresh?

I saw him once. I tried to snap a photo but it was all blurry.

You know something weird, though? I've never seen Steve Pearce and Superman in the same room together. For that matter, I've never seen Pearce and Batman in the same room together.

You've certainly seen this guy and Pearce at the same time.

      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      @RZNJ and @Can_of_corn I appreciate the dialog. I think Jeter could have been a solid defender had he not been asked to play SS. So the quote above, (forgive me for picking a nit), is not entirely accurate. I don't think Jeter was "bad at defense." He was just not +10 at SS. There are a couple of plays that Jeter made that standout to me as showing outstanding defensive skill and situational awareness as well as athleticism. His issue is that he was not gifted with either the arm or the quickness to excel at SS. That coupled with the fact that A-Rod was a much better defensive SS than Jeter when A-Rod joined the MFYs makes me wonder is Jeter might have been a superb 2B or CF but was too stubborn to make the move.

      I think you need to give them a full season. Some of these guys will need to repeat because they are young for the level and just need lots of professional PAs.  Some will continue to fail, but the talented ones will keep getting chances for at least 700+PAs in A-ball.

      Just didn't have the command. Middle-itis. Hopefully a one-off.

      Baumann has to be the one to go. I’m sure he’s a swell guy and all but he is not a major league pitcher.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By deward · Posted

      Once upon a time, Suarez was rated the 9th best prospect in the Appy League and as high as the 12th best prospect in the Rays system. He also did get parts of two seasons in the majors with the Giants. I know he's been bouncing around Japan and Korea for the past few years, but he wasn't completely off the radar earlier in his career. Reality may well catch up to him soon, but pitchers have weird trajectories sometimes.

      I'm not a doctor, so if the O's are confident he is up to going back into the rotation as a full time starter, I suppose I will trust it. However, it makes sense to me to be conservative and manage his innings so he is in peak form in Sept/Oct. Of course, that takes for granted that we can get to the playoffs with him in a lesser role which may not be the case, but my inclination would be to stretch him out later rather than sooner.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      All of that is fair to point out, some of which I did. My only issue with the snarkiness of the original comment like there was an over reaction going on by pointing out he's off to a disappointing start.  At the end of the day, Basallo is uber talented and he will figure it out.
