I'm glad he's finally healthy and back in the lineup (knock on wood).

This minor league season has pretty much been a disaster from a top prospect standpoint. Harvey hasn't pitched an inning. Bundy is on the shelf with arm issues and Sisco has missed most of the season with two separate DL stints.

Here is hoping to better fortune in the second half.

RIght back at it. We needed that from Cisco. Right now Mancini and Reyes are the only other prospects having a "good" year. In Full Season ball a couple guys are a nice hot streak away from going to an average to good year. Walker, G.Davis, Yaz, Hart and Leyva. Then Murphy, Heim and Wilkerson need to just get healthy. I've given up on Esposito, Marin and G.Roza.

Add Alvarez to that hot streak mix, he's on a tear right now.

I'm very glad to see Sisco getting his season into gear after a slow start and then the injuries. Hopefully he can stay healthy the rest of the way and continue to play well. He's gotta set an example for all those high school bats we drafted!

I was thinking this way, but he's only played 19 games, so his whole season is really just starting. The "slow" part that we're talking about was just the first 9 games, barely the start of the start, so to speak. Over the past ten, he's hitting .364 and for the full 19 games, .281. Don't know if he'll catch in the majors, but I am pretty excited about his hitting!

I was just thinking that he has some similarities to B.J. Surhoff.

Good comp. I actually wouldn't be opposed to him moving to another position sooner rather than later. He has the potential for a special bat, and catching 130 games a year has a tendency to lead to fatigue/injuries and suppress hitting potential (ex: Mauer, Wieters). His defense isn't on par with those guys, and we have Heim in the same draft class who by all accounts is a much better defender. I'd rather leave the catching to guys with less upside in the bat, and maximize his hitting potential at a different position.

Has anyone seen Sisco in these recent games? It would be great to hear how he has looked when throwing down to second base. On the radio today, they mentioned most of the Nationals steals were well timed and didn't leave much of an opportunity for Chance to make a play.

As I said in the ML forum, he has some really great numbers so far in his career. If he develops average power, he could really be something. HOWEVER, he has thrown out just 3 of 37 base runners so far this year. One would think the Orioles catching instructors have had enough time to teach him the position. I understand there is a learning curve but with numbers like those, the writing is on the wall. A position switch is needed. Let's get this kid's bat moving through the system as an infielder and forget the catching experiment. Hopefully, Heim and Murphy can develop at the position.

Do we maintain the Surhoff comp and see him as third baseman/corner outfielder?

My guess is that they wouldn't try a position switch in the middle of a season that already has been disrupted with injuries. More likely, they send him to Fall Instructs and have him play somewhere else then.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?

      The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.
