Just great let's try Nolan again, isn't there someone else we could invite to spring training with a possible MLB contract?

Probably, but there are not a ton of options. If they sign a player on a major league contract who is out of options but not guaranteed to make the team, it is going to be a Francisco Peguerro type. Someone that comes cheaply so they can get rid of him easily if it doesn't work out. At this point in the winter, I don't think there are many of those guys hanging around that would be worth the bother.

In any event, with the Lombardozzi trade yesterday, there is now an open spot on the 40-man so the Orioles could still sign someone to a ML deal without having to clear any further roster space. Reimold doesn't change that. There's room for both.

Lombo was not on the 40-man.

I have to ask... why in the world did you have a lawn gnome at a game?

Haha, first off it was fanfest. I had thought to get autographs on an Orioles lawn gnome. I have Reimold, Mike Gonzalez, Albers, Guthrie, and....Brandon Snyder. Yeah its quite valuable.

I loved Brady's comments on it, how there were plenty of outfielders ahead of him on the depth chart, but that it was no risk to the Orioles. Tells it like it is. I hope he's the next GM.

I like Brady. My one concern is the attachment he seems to get with the players. I believe it must be hard to develop a relationship and then release or trade someone. DD seems to be able to avoid that situation.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
