Rickard has the chance, but its going to happen later, rather than sooner, IMO.

He is going to make the bench as Def sub and pinch runner, again, IMO.

He has the David Lough OF role for now.

Maybe, but if he produces, Buck will play him. Since Fowler screwed us and Kim isn't as good defensively, I definitely could see him being our full time LF.

Likely, no, but Buck won't stop the train.

Rickard worked the count full before slapping a single to RF, then stole 2B.

Reimold popped out to shallow CF.

Walker struck out.

Marte struck out.

Interestingly, Rickard, Reimold, Walker, Marte, and D. Alvarez are all in the lineup back-to-back, and yet are all essentially trying to play for the same position on the 25-man.

I thought exact same thing, typical Buck, lol.

Reimold batting .140; Alvarez .140, Geesh.

I think Ricksrd will be OD 4th OF. More playing time will depend on Kim's progress or lack there of.

OR Kim goes down to work on stroke (with his permission) and Reimold sticks around a little longer OR Reimold gets hurt and opens door for someone else.

Walker isn't going north on this club, he is heading to AAA and get some full time OF play.

Rickard is making this club as the 4th OF and bench depth.

Alvarez is not going to trump Reimold off the roster. IMO

Marte's probably only chance to make the roster, if DD manages to get Kim to AAA.

Rickard is not David Lough and somehow, some way, Rickard will play. He is too good to just waste away on the bench. People seem to be forgetting that Trumbo is no sure thing for success in right field, either. Rickard is also ahead of Reimold in priority. If he's not, something is wrong because he is clearly better and would fill two needed holes; the leadoff hitter we've been lacking for seven years and an every day outfielder that can play all three positions. Reimold can only play two and can't stay healthy.

You are right but Reimold has naked pics of someone, maybe Brady?:)

Reimold did play some CF last season and in a pinch, he isn't the wiz that Rickard is.

Yeah, I just mean that Reimold isn't really a legitimate option in center field. He's more of an emergency option. Avery has had a strong spring too and he can play all three OF positions, too. I really think Reimold's time is up especially with what's going on in camp right now.

No clue why they signed him. Pearce made more sense.

The answer is that him and Brady are close. I like Nolan but just think his time has passed. If he goes somewhere else and succeeds, good for him. To me, he isn't anything we don't already have and he is an injury risk.

Agree completely about Reimold. I was pulling for him for so long that I barely even realized he was now in his 30's. I don't know how he managed to get into our hearts without really doing anything, but that's what happened and it's just time to let it go. We need to move on. However, I didn't really like Pearce to repeat either. The odds were that he wouldn't. If only he had the pics Nolan has, huh? :rofl:

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
