The Orioles are going to miss Matt Wieters next year. Although next years' Wieters may not be this years' Wieters anyway.

I wonder if PA is thinking of doing with Wieters what he did for Crush this past off-season.

Thats why I moved to Florida 18 years ago . . . .

Haha it's one reason I moved out of FL in 2012. Selling the house this fall. After 9 years in LA and six in Miami I was ready for real seasons again.

Catchers decline quickly in their 30s. I wouldn't.

I'd QO him again. Maybe he accepts again and we eke out another year of production. If he turns it down he might find a very weak market for a 30+ catcher with a 1st round pick attached... and maybe he comes back here cheaply, though that seems unlikely when you see what the likes of Russ Martin got.

That's what I'm saying! Don't back up and let Saunders catch it.

I would have tried to rob Saunders, how stupid are the fans getting?--they always just get out of the way, unlike at Yankee Stadium I must say, although I do hate going there.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb. That ball would have landed in the second row. Fair game for fans. Help JJ get the homer!

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
