I am is favor of Lough on a rehab assignment to get his bat going.

Once he is on the rehab assignment, we have to start making some decisions. I have no problem with delaying it until he is completely well. Missing him in Baltimore right now is not an issue.

I know you are. You are welcome to bandwagon him with me if you wish. I like the idea of a extra bat. Right now, pitching and Game Calling are real important.

Norris could not hit the glove so that tells us more about the pitching than the game calling.

There's no way Urrutia or Alvarez are coming up yet. I'm certainly rooting for them but they are where they need to be. Urrutia has gotten of to a nice start IN TWO GAMES. Last year he OPS'ed 623 at Norfolk, and still hasn't played there a whole year. Let's give him some time. Same for Alvarez, love the potential but he needs to be in AAA and cut down his strikeouts, learn to take a walk. They are exciting to watch though.

I think when Lough gets back they'll try to move to a traditional for man bench and 12 man pitching staff. I think DD is still trying to work a trade. Not sure we need both W. Wright and Matusz. Not sure why we signed Wright, but then I'm not sure why we tendered Matusz a contract. Maybe it'll be solved (temporarily) by Wright going to the DL.

Do you know that Lough is ready to come off the DL?

Per the Sun:

Showalter said outfielder David Lough (left hamstring) was expected to leave Florida for Maryland on Friday after playing nine innings in an intrasquad game. The plan is for Lough to start a minor league rehab soon, but Showalter didn't rule out Lough's possibly joining the Orioles this weekend.

I think Roch commented the same on Thursday. If they are going to activate him, why not, it's not like he can hit anyway. Nothing to get "warmed up" :)

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      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...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      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.
