This is exactly why the off season theory of wait till we're healthy next year is not a good one. You're always going to have injuries. We need Schoop back ASAP and for Hardy to not have a serious injury.

Schoop ain't coming back anytime real soon. Get a different plan.

I think it is time to start planning for next season. Start resting Jones once or twice a week. Start auditioning players for 1st base and the corner outfield positions. And I've learned my lesson, no more signing free agents in their 30's!

So when is the DL news going to come out? An oblique injury is one of the worst a baseball player can have. Does Navarro come back up or do we go with just 2 true MI's in Cabrera and Flaherty, and bring up Reimold or Parmelee.

If Hardy goes to the DL I think we see Nolan or Parmelee up. Flaherty to short. Pearce to second. I have seen enough of Cabrera to not want to see him any more.

In the team chemistry thread (where'd that go anyway) I wanted to post that things that destroy team chemistry are .200 hitting backup shortstops who can't lay down a bunt (twice) that would have helped the team score a run last night. Or a bullpen arm blowing up what Ubaldo accomplished for 6+ innings. That's what kills the clubhouse. Cabrera needs to find a comfy spot on the bench and stay there until either Hardy or Schoop are back healthy.

Maybe they can just operate? There has to be a surgery for an oblique pull right?

Or time. Time works. Like for Schoop and all the folks that want to rush him back from something that obviously takes a lot more time. Or surgery.

So you are saying they should just shut him down for the year? You sure that is enough time? The team isn'tlikely to be good next season so they could just set him down until the 2017 season to be safe.

Is there a procedure to just remove the oblique? No oblique, no tear.

Or, better yet, they could be fat guys like me and never have to worry about tearing the oblique because it is well protected with insulation and padding. :D

Cabrera can't be blamed for his bunt on the suicide squeeze play last night. That pitch was well high and outside, normally a pitch he'd lay off but he had no choice but to try to hit it since the runner was coming. It was an impossible pitch to bunt well, and he did a good job just to get his bat on it and hit the ball into foul territory where it couldn't be caught.

Good thing I am around to fix your ideas. Clearly we need to do both, operate on him and then sheath his oblique in a protective layer of donar fat.

No. I am just saying he's not back In two weeks like everyone thinks.

They need to say he is healthy. Send him to the minors to work on something. Spend some time on the minor league DL and recoup the lost year of control. It looks like we'll need it. /sarcasm

And the other at bat earlier in the game with runners on 1st and 2nd with none out? Any excuses for that poor execution?

      And in 2023 he had a .305 average and .919 OPS with RISP. I don’t think he suddenly became unable to hit with RISP. There’s a ton of noise in those stats. Nobody on this team creates a black hole by not being in the lineup in the future, even Gunnar. It depends on team construction, return on trade, etc.

      I think the answer to this question depends upon how much you believe in Kjerstad (I think Mayo is ticketed for first base). I personally don’t based on what I have seen in Norfolk and Baltimore because I question whether he will get to his power due to his swing decisions, and think he will struggle with major league off speed pitches. He’ll also be in his age 26 season next year and, although that isn’t really his fault, I think the AAA numbers need to be viewed with his age in mind. I will be rooting for him to succeed because I want the Orioles to win. I just don’t have the same confidence in him that many seem to.

      Nope, see the above post.  He was 11th on the team in BA with RISP and 12 in OPS with RISP.  That isn't exactly a guy that's carrying a team when it matters or someone that's going to create a back hole by not being in the lineup in the future.

      No one did, including Santander.  And that's why we are sitting home now and had a bad 2nd half of the season.  None of the others though are a free agent expecting to get 20M a year or more.  That said, with RISP he was a .234 BA hitter with a .736 OPS.  That BA with RISP was 12th on the Os in 2024, while that OPS was 11th, though admittedly some of those above him were SSS guys like Stowers and Rivera.  That's not exactly someone that 'came up big'.  When he's up with RISP, or any other time frankly, I expect one of three things.  A home run, a strikeout or an easy out.  He's not going to do much else.  And we already have too many of those type hitters on the team, though none with his home run numbers obviously.  We really aren't going to miss his one dimensional bat as much as folks are acting like.  Give him the QO and wish him well.

      He was third on the team in win probability added, but I am assuming your going based off what you “saw.” https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=np&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2024&month=0&season1=2024&ind=0&team=2&rost=0&age=0&sortcol=2&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

      You’re correct about where he came from , how his work ethic made to where he is today . Plus he is popular among his teammates, he is nice fellow. He’s been around and I’m thank him for his service to O’s . Just as you said, it’s time for him to move on, I hope he finds new team and new deal . And we collect QO pick
