Not bad but I will have to see more than him throwing out Fielder (he was safe) or Cruz, two of the slowest guys around. I did like the way he played the ball off the wall to get Cruz. However, both throws were right on the mark.

As you pointed out, the important thing in reviewing the clips of the throws is that they were both on the money. Slow runners or not, it took a good throw in both cases. By the way, take a good look at the Fielder play. The ump may actually be right. His front foot, which appears to beat the tag, is actually off the ground and never touches the plate. It is close as to whether the tag occurred before the foot of the trail leg hit the plate, but the raised front leg is most likely what the ump saw and why the out call was made.

Meh he's had his shots to prove he can be a full-time MLB player. He played himself out of the league. Lets not rush him back yet.

Some guys don't make it until they are 26 or 27. Some guys. He's not that much different than average Colby Rasmus.

True. I am all for giving him a shot if he's proved he can produce.. just don't see where he fits unless this is just someone they will carry if Wieters or someone has to start the season on the DL.

I would think the bench would be: Young, Lough, Joseph, Flaherty

If Wieters can catch, then you still need one more position player. (I don't think you are considering a DH here). Currently, they have Hassan, Parmalee, Paredes, Alverez, Walker, Urrutia, and Navarro to choose from for the thirteenth position player.

But why? Why move Davis from his natural position when you already have several better options to play RF?

Just having fun. I would think whenever Alvarez is ready. Thats his spot. Would be exciting to see how the Orioles handle him in ST.

I know most oriole sources were saying he still needs more time but recently they have been really talking him up.

Teams don't often talk down the kids on the farm.

I will be pleasantly shocked if Alvarez turns into something.

He's a bigger hacker then Jones and Schoop.

We're in the same boat. He's also old for both AA and AAA and it isn't as if he dominated either. I'm not at all excited to see what his plate discipline will look like at the MLB level.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
