Would Hardy to the DL mean a call up of Reimold/Parmelee?

Just give it to us straight. Hardy is going to be out with an oblique. I care about the O's winning. If they know he's going to be out and are playing short handed then they care more about PR rather than playing with a 25 man roster. So much for giving the team the best chance to win.

I'm confused by this. Is this just a rant or is it actually trying to say something?

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how an injury to JJ would be a PR hit or any type of conspiracy theory at all, but then I figured, whatever.

I somehow don't think the managers of opposing teams are too concerned whether the .180 hitting ss is in the lineup or not.
They are concerned if he can play SS, and he is a RH bat off the bench with a track record beyond this season. I seem to recall a walk off hit recently. I'd want to know if he were available.

What does PR have to do with anything? This isn't politics. There are no Votes. The city has been in complete disarray and the team filled the stadium last weekend. THe Orioles don't need PR. They need to win a bit.

I was being slightly condescending, trying to make a point that no one in our current lineup really scares anyone until they get out of this funk we're in.

But of course you're right...knowing who is available is definitely an advantage for the opposing team that Buck is not likely to give them.

I'd be worried about Manny, Davis, Delmon, and Caleb.

I don't want to see JJ go on the DL. But if the O's feel its the right thing to do, does it open a spot for Reimold or Parmelee?

It could push Pearce back to 2nd base and have Flaherty and Cabrera sharing shortstop. We have already seen that Buck prefers Pearce at 2B to Navarro.

The O's would get a two week look at Reimold or Parmelee and then have to pick between them and Snider.

What do you think?

What good would that do? Sorry. Not meaning to be rude. To me neither one of

those players are the types that would help the O's. IMO

No matter how he's looked at second he's looked atrocious at the plate.

So, who out there, when seeing Steve Pearce trot out to second base the first or second time, expected he'd be just fine in the field but wouldn't provide enough offense to be an everyday second baseman?

It's a strange game, all right. :scratchchinhmm: :scratchchinhmm:

Knowing how the O's work, they will wait until Weiters returns to DL Hardy. They treat us like children when it comes to injuries. Just like at the end of ST when I said that I take whatever the O's initially say and multiply it by 10 with injuries. At the time it was concerning MW. And we see he's just now coming back. And I got killed for saying that.

Just give it to us straight. Hardy is going to be out with an oblique. I care about the O's winning. If they know he's going to be out and are playing short handed then they care more about PR rather than playing with a 25 man roster. So much for giving the team the best chance to win.

Don't you think all teams hide the truth a little bit when it comes to injuries? I

Don't need to know all the ends and outs when it comes to injuries. It would be

of no purpose. IMO

I was trying to make a point. Maybe PR was a confusing word to use. But I think JJ is going to the DL with an oblique injury. This is known by the Front Office, but they will delay making the move until Weiters can come back on thursday. So they can say"hey look fans, we're losing Hardy, but gaining Weiters." This is just the way we work.

The right move would be to DL Hardy and call up Navarro. Or anyone so we don't have to play with a 24 man roster.

I understand better. Thanks for clarifying. Otherwise it just appeared to be an unfounded rant and I don't think of you in those terms.

Norfolk outfielder Henry Urrutia is batting .348 (16-for-46) with two home runs, 10 RBIs and a .412 on-base percentage in 11 games atop the order. He never hit leadoff before this season.

Urrutia is batting .343 (12-for-35) with two home runs and nine RBIs in his last nine games.

Instead I just send him my season ticket money. I just call them as I see them. I hope I'm wrong and Hardy really is not going on the DL. I'd much rather see my team win than be able to come onto this message board and say I told you so. Just because I call the FO out on their BS doesn't mean that I'm not an O's fan.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By e16bball · Posted

      I think it’s pretty natural for kids to take special notice of the guys with speed who make exciting plays like steals and triples and defensive “web gems.” Seems like the kids now are higher on guys like Mateo and Mullins than the grownups, and I think that was the case with Brian Roberts back in the day too. As for clutch, in going through some of the clutch numbers, one guy who stood out as a possible fit for us is Alex Bregman. He has a career 144 wRC+ with runners on base and a .294 BA with RISP — I tend to care a little more about BA when a hit scores a run. His postseason heroics are also pretty well-known. Not sure what you’d have to pay him, and I’m pretty sure signing him would necessitate the Holliday-to-CF move. But if they’re not willing to play in the Soto sandbox financially, Bregman would be a veteran guy with championship pedigree and (importantly) ties to Mike/Sig that could put him near the top of their list.

      Wait Till Next Year

      Just to be as clear as possible, when they were doing better early in the season, they were swinging more, not less. 4/1 - 6/30: 7.2 BB%, 49.3% swing rate, 29.8% out of zone swing rate, 22.2% whiff rate, .316 OBP 7/1 - 9/30: 8.7 BB%, 47.8% swing rate, 29.0% out of zone swing rate, 22.4% whiff rate, .315 OBP 2023: 8.4 BB%, 47.8% swing rate, 29.9% out of zone swing rate, 23.0% whiff rate, .321 OBP They took less walks early in the year, they swung more often at both balls and strikes early in the year, and their OBP/whiff rates were essentially identical in both halves.  The notion that they turned into free-swinging hackers in the second half — and that’s why they failed — seems to be pretty commonly held here, but it’s not backed by any data. They were actually more patient at the plate in this season’s second half than they’ve ever been during the Adley era.

      Terry Francona to manage Reds

      Meant to say I wouldn't mind him managing the Orioles. I always liked him as a manager.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      It is a foolish hope to expect a full season out of Rodriguez. Kremer is fine, and I’m glad to have him. Suarez was better in most meaningful stats, but we don’t know what Suarez is going to do. He could possibly be just a flash in the pan. Povich is trade or depth. We need depth. Our 2025 -ready pitchers all have potential problems. but now we also need outfielders and infielders

      A very good move as long as he is healthy. Surprised he wanted to come back. I would had mind here. A HOF manager

      By forphase1 · Posted

      I think we sign one pitcher who is pretty much guaranteed a starting spot, hopefully a strong #1/#2 type, and then sign a couple guys to complete with Povich, Suarez (not sure his contract status) and Rogers for the #5 spot behind Eflin, signee, Grayson and Kremer.   With Grayson's injury history, I hope we get a decent arm or two that we can either stash in AAA or in the bullpen who can start when injuries inevitably happen.  Povich will be in that mix, but performance will hopefully determine who get is.  I'm encourages by his end of the year results, but certainly don't expect big things from him next year.
