I am pretty sure it was Napoli in Boston that tripped Schoop.

Thanks, bad article that i read then, it happens, they reported Schoop as well as Flaherty injury from the field at Toronto, I believe they even mentioned a 3rd injury, but my mind escapes me right now.

I saw that. I think you make good points. Perhaps that was what Roy was eluding to about suprises move(s) today?

Not sure Cabrera will be much of a surprise. Roch had mentioned it several times the past 10 days.

We all know Wieters is coming back today, so, something has to give on the roster.

Someone mentioned Matusz which would be super duper in my eyes but I doubt they DFA in the middle of this suspension limbo (appeal, etc). However, that would be a very intelligent move.

The only other "surprise" to me would be a trade (BIG surprise) or Alvarez or Henry U.

Thoughts?

Alvarez is starting to heat up with the bat, and I would love to see him come up to the team and see what he could do.

I am sure DD is working the phone lines, rather or not anything comes of it, remains to be seen.

I am not ready to DFA Matusz, again, IMO.

A trade would be a surprise but it doesn't sound like one.

I hope it isn't Reimold, but I could see Roy getting excited by that....might make sense. He doesn't improve on anything we currently have.

I don't want to compromise the confidentiality I promised so I won't say anything specific.Sorry.

I think you have just guaranteed that the traffic on OH today will be double what it normally is, with everyone checking to see if a move has been made.

      Lower the bar to 400 PAs and there were 27.  Health and platoons?  Still less than 1 per team.  In the early going, there are 42 over .850.  Still wouldn't count on it, but crazier things have happened from lesser talent over the course of a season. As a team, O's team OPS is .780.  Sure a few mild surprises, but also a nothing burger from Holliday.

      Today's guess: Gunnar - SS Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Santander - DH Cowser - LF Mullins - CF Westburg - 3B Kjerstad - RF Holliday - 2B Stupid. Lol.

      Means has to pitch his way back into our rotation. Not impossible, but I think Akin or Tate will be optioned for him next week when his 30 days are up.

      They could go 0 for the season and they'd still be more fun than the singing group.

      Reminds me of Miguel Gonzalez, who came out of nowhere to be a major contributor to some playoff runs.  I doubt he ends up as a rotation mainstay. But I was certain O'Hearn would turn into a pumpkin after a few weeks too and he still hasn't.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      If it weren’t for the service time component I think Holliday would have a very long leash before being sent down. He’s still contributing positively on defense and AAA pitchers just were not challenging him anymore. The priority above all else should be what is best for his long term development, and he needs to struggle against MLB pitching for longer than this to get to a point where you feel it’s doing more harm than good. I do think there can be some merit to the idea that MLB time exposes some weakness, which then can be worked on in a lower-stress environment in AAA, but I don’t think that’s strictly necessary since he’d be working on the same things against MLB pitching. However, the Orioles are now in a tricky situation where if it becomes apparent that Holliday is not going to win ROY, they have a strong incentive to send him down for at least a short stint to get the extra year. How they navigate that without that being totally transparent is tough. They could definitely do it now and nobody would claim service time manipulation given his struggles, but I don’t think they want to yet for purely development purposes. If he’s still struggling with around 100 PAs that’s when I think they make the move.
