Santander is making a good impression so far.   Two homers, a number of hits, and a couple of good defensive plays.    Buck has said twice now that Santander is making his case not just to stay on the

For me Trumbo is the biggest reason that I wish Trumbo was not on this team.

So you suggest he just use big black and white letters?  We'll agree to disagree.

I think it was a major mistake to have him on the roster.  Just another bone head move by the team.  

Why we were built to fail anyway. Why not play the lotto on the guy?  

Rasmus is done. He was done last year. Rickard had a 600 OPS in AAA until going 5-5 last night. Who were the options?

Stewart.

Not that I overly care about Santander putting in his 44 days.

Rasmus shouldn't have made the team.

20 more days left of Santander. I like his potential, but it’s looking like he’s way overmatched up here. 

Hopefully he will light it up at Bowie starting in a few weeks and adjust his game. 

Disagree that he looks over matched. He looks like a rookie. But he's having decent at bats. He's taking good swings. And unlike 70 percent of the line up he actually looks like he has a quick bat and has at least some semblance of an idea of what he's doing at the plate.

His defense is also far better than advertised. 

Unlike other O's "prospects" in the recent past, such as Joey Rickard, this guy actually has a major league body. He's got a strong lower base, thick center, and he's quick twitched. 

Keep throwing him out there. He looks like he'll come around.

In his last 11 games (9 starts), he’s hitting .100/.100/.133, with 11 strikeouts in 30 PA.    I’d say he looks a bit overmatched.   

He has looked as bad as many others.He lined a shot to the pitcher yesterday and hit a long fly ball later in the game. Also had a good 10 pitch at Bat on Sunday vs Kluber.Not saying he has looked good but some others on the Orioles look as bad.

.215 OBP in 89 major league at-bats and shaky defense. Obligatory he was rushed and he's young, but there's a reason we're about the only team that goes so balls deep in this Rule 5 nonsense. Other teams just spend a few bucks on international talent or y'know trade for players.

      Why does everybody want to jump and label a kid so fast? What is this, his 2nd major-league season? Yes, certainly they shouldn't go into next year thinking he's a lock for 30+ starts and 180-200 innings but we can't say he's already reached his peak either.

      And their defense is very good. To put things in perspective, the Tigers collective dWAR is +0.5. The Orioles is -2.8. Minnesota -4.1, Yankees -0.3, Houston -0.1, Seattle +2.0, Royals at +2.5. The Royals really standout as most of that value is driven by Fermin (catcher) and Witt.  But I think my point is that the Tigers have excellent pitching (starting pitching and bullpen) as well as excellent defense. And they're not putrid with the bats.  I would say the one saving grace about the Tigers is they don't run much.

      We could have easily swept Detroit in Baltimore, the lineup we have now is not the lineup they faced. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, just win.

      Both of them are important to consider here. They could have a mediocre offense every single game of the season, but if the pitching is elite (and it is!), it'll carry them.  We have 6 games against the Tigers this year. And yes, most of them were without the cadre of regulars. But here are the offensive numbers against them: .211/.282/.392 - .674 OPS They scored 20 runs in 6 games against them. Barely scraping 3 R/G. And a good portion of them coming in *1* game.  Out of the WC potentials the O's could face, here are their R/G: Royals: 29 in 6 games = 4.8 R/G Twins: 22 in 3 = 7.3 R/G Mariners: 27 in 6 = 4.5 R/G Tigers: 20 in 6 = 3.3 R/G Out of all the playoff teams, the best RA/G are the Mariners (3.75), Guardians (3.85), and Tigers (4.96). For the playoffs, you want to look at who you're facing on the bump. Which team scares you the most? Because if you can't hit against the team, it doesn't matter what the opposing offense is.  Also you'll want to consider the best fielding teams, too.   Seems to me you'd want to face the team you matchup best against *and* who has the worst defense and worst pitching, because presumably your 3 starters (Burnes, Eflin, Kremer) should be able to hold teams in check.

      I'd prefer Detroit - they've been so hot for so long they should be due to cool off. KC has been just the opposite.

      I'd say the Royals...pitch around Witt and Salvy Perez who seems to have had our number in recent years.  The rest of their lineup isn't too imposing. Wacha  -a guy I wanted this offseason and was laughed at for wanting him- has a 2.64 ERA over his last 15 starts.  He's the soft-tossing type that gives our lineup fits and, IIRC, he was great against us earlier this year.  Lugo has had a great year, so has Ragans.  Their starters are good. But they're 3-7 over their last 10 while the Tigers are 8-2.  A lot of the postseason, IMO, is catching teams at the right/wrong time.  This could all change by next week but the Tigers are hot, the Royals are not... Then again, I said I wanted to face Texas in the first round last year and look what happened.  So who knows.

      Would much rather face KC and to me it’s not close.    game 1 agains Skubal is an L. They’ve proven they can beat us with a bullpen game, a bullpen only behind CLE as best in the AL.
