He didn't hit a home run in 204 at bats at Norfolk and suffered a sports hernia in late April that limited him to 51 games.

"The first month in Triple-A was terrible, so I made a decision to stop," Urrutia said of his sports hernia. "The surgery was the most terrible three months of my life -- the therapy, the stretching and everything."

Those can be bad injuries.

Anybody I'm forgetting whose in the OF mix for Baltimore or Norfolk? Looks like the AAA guys will be fighting for at bats. By the way, my dotted line is just how I'm guessing the rosters are set for the beginning of the season. I do think there will be some competition.

Buck is going to let them play it out and see who is standing and take that crew north. We know Jones is a lock for sure.

Going to be a lot of monday morning QB in OH about who doesn't make the roster.

The O's have been looking to get down to 12 pitchers and now Wesley Wright looks headed for the DL.

So who is called up or activated?

Urrutia is about the only guy on the 40 man roster at Norfolk who is hitting. Last I heard Lough was supposed to go for a rehab assignment but that may or may not happen.

What do you think?

Interesting you bring up Henry. I was watching the Norfolk game tonight and he looks good. Great at-bats.

You know my thoughts on Lough.

Does the game today change plans for the additional position player?

It sure shouldn't. Because if Bud does this again, he will be filling Gausman's role.

    • I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.
    • Now run scores and Yanks take lead. 
    • Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call. 
    • Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...
    • First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.
    • Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.
    • If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
