Rasmus is such a non factor.  He ended his season early last year with a bad hip and can't make it out of the first month of the season without the same injury flaring up.  I'd honestly forgotten we had him until I saw this thread bumped.  Rasmus does nothing for this team though, except some better defense.  But anyone's grandmother has a better hip than he does so I am not sure what good he is at all.  

I have no earthly idea what the O's obsession over this guy is.  Wait, I do know.  Low OBP and a lot of strikeouts.

And from a selfish perspective, he's just terrible to watch.  Everything that guy does on the field is ugly and awkward.

Come on Moose.  Tell us what you really think on him.

HE SUCKS.  There.

I admitted that he plays a good outfield when his hip isn't flaring up.  I'm sorry I don't think that everyone who dons orange and black is the best player ever.

Buck tried to recruit Rasmus a few years ago, there's your answer.  

I remember that.  I don't understand it.

This season is becoming a blurry haze to me already, the first month seems like a lifetime ago.  I remember watching him flail away and thinking that an awkward high school sophomore could probably do the same things he was doing.

Playoffs are out of the question. Orioles need to DFA Rasmus, it's not like he is going to be on the team next season.  

Don't worry, he will probably get hurt playing in extended spring training or on rehab assignment.

At this point, why would we put Colby Rasmus back on the roster over Mullins or Stewart?

At this point, why would we waste any service time on Mullins or Stewart unless they are making a powerful case that they are ready for the majors?  No point in rushing them.

Because what other reason do fans have to come to the stadium?  Other than bring your dog to the game night.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Lots of panic around here right now. Guys forget the Rangers were third in their division and only had 88 wins last season.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is my favorite Basallo clip so far. The swing is so fluid, it looks so effortless and the ball is just absolutely destroyed. It reminds me of homers by prime Chris Davis.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      The Orioles were bound to hit a rut. Get your hand off the panic button.    The Orioles aren’t signing Bauer. So just Fudget about him. The don’t need to trade Holliday and Kjerstad. I’m okay if he finds a guy worth paying a top guy return along with a few others ala Kirby, Gilbert, Castillo etc.   Stop patting yourself on the back. We lost as did everyone else to a hot Rangers team. We are still 7 up in the top wildcard slot. And as Texas proved is all you have to do is get in to have a shot.

      It’s becoming unglued?  Because of losing streak that almost every team goes through in any given season?  Really?

      The Os pen isn’t good. With DC out, they just don’t have any arms you want to rely on. They don’t miss a lot of bats, don’t get a lot of Ks and the walk rate is higher than you want it to be. Kimbrel is fine but nothing special. He has been exactly what I thought he would be and maybe even a little better than that but hes not what we had last year, which was special. Cano is better than a dime a dozen guy but not by a ton.    Baker looks good and maybe he’s poised to have the year some of us thought he would have in 2023 but he has a ways to go to prove that.

      Yes, I bolded that part to indicate that was to what I was referring.

      This group hasn’t burned you though. This is the biggest test for Elias since the team got good. The bottom line is the Os need pitching help and they have too much talent in the minors and too many subpar guys in the majors eating up at bats. You built this farm system up and are so proud of it and now it’s time to use it to its full potential.    I understand the Holliday injury likely sets him back until after the AS break, at least but assuming he’s hitting (which he has been or he’s been walking a ton) and once he is able to start throwing pain free, he needs to be up here.  Mayo needs to be up here yesterday.  It’s just time.  Sitting on ML ready top 10 prospects when below average MLers are playing in front of them just doesn’t make sense. You have a glaring weakness of too many lefties and a manager/GM that just won’t play lefties vs lefties. You have McCann playing way too much. Mayo needs to be up here right now. And then you need to use the rest of the system(and maybe ML team), not Basallo, and go get the pitching you need.
