I have no idea what they see in Yacabonis. So many others I’d rather see here.

Who would you have called up?  Not too many pitchers on our 40 with options.  Scott?  He pitched last night for two innings, so he wouldn't have served today's purpose.

I think he's hurt.

It explains that patch of days he didn't play in ST, why Buck has been DHing him and why he can't hit.

He did retire last year over a hip issue right?

The crazy thing to me is how did he make the team in the first place.

Because that team is the Orioles lol

True enough, I like David Hess but he is starting so you are spot on, we are going to need some better optionable pieces.

Is there a specific date we are waiting on to bring up Hays? I know there was discussion that we are waiting to get an extra controlled year on the end of his contract as we've done with others, but I've never seen the day pointed out, figured someone here would know. Didn't want to start new thread just for that.

I think it has as much to do with Santander.

It might be that they honestly believe he needs more time in the minors.  He didn't rake last September and he was hurt for part of Spring Training.  With the exception of Wieters the O's haven't played team control games.  Both Schoop and Sisco for instance made the team out of Spring Training.

He does need more time, but not much and shocked he’s playing in Bowie. Glad I got to see him the other night but...just a roster crunch with Saunders/Presley I guess.

Organizations tend not to put their depth pieces -- players with MLB experience who are not expected to return full-time to the majors -- to AA. Vets go to AAA while prospects play AA, hoping/expecting to jump over AAA. I guess one of the factors is that it would appear disrespectful for Saunders or Presley or former big-leaguers in other organizations to be bumped back to AA.

Agreed just wonder what Hays needs at AA at this point. I think AAA with tons of former major leaguers would help significantly more.

Rasmus is apparently in extended Spring Training working towards a return.  Personally I doubt he comes back, and if he does, it won't be a long reappearance and it won't have much better results than his first stint in April.  He's done.

Meanwhile, Jon Jay is hitting just under .300 with a .348 OBP, and while maybe not a great defender at this age, he'd certainly be better in RF than Trumbo, Santander, etc.  But I guess the team thought we couldn't use a high OBP guy at the top of the lineup.  Ponderous.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      By SteveA · Posted

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      By jamalshw · Posted

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
