Yes the 27 year old played well at Norfolk.

We know what Rickard is, it is time to see what Stewart might be.

Ideally I'd move Mancini out of left field, where he doesn't belong, and install Stewart.

Joey is showing that he is ready for the majors now.   I don't know if it will last but he has looked good this year.   Stewart has not played to Rickard's level this year.  

While you might move Mancini out of left to make room for Stewart I don't the O's will.  Not without an injury which is Stewart's best chance to make the majors in the near term. Either that or the O's trade Jones.

I still want to see more than 5 good week at AAA out of Stewart.

Mancini is a decent player but nothing too special At first he is a two year younger version of CJ Cron. Maybe even a little worse depending on how he does the next two years Cron was basically traded for a player to be named later.

He's 27, he spent his 25 and 26 year old seasons showing he wasn't ready for the majors.

And in left so far this year he's replacement level.

Are you the same guy that isn't satisfied with a five week sample size?

?

Does some huge dividing line exist in your mind between five weeks and eight weeks?

?

Well it would mean he had not slumped at AAA for two months.

Read it again..

Yea, I still don't get it, who are you talking about?

It isn't Stewart because he started slow, It isn't Rickard because he didn't spend two months at Norfolk.

Seriously who are you talking about?

If I were them I'd give Stewart a shot, too. And he's more likely to become a solid big leaguer than Rickard. 

But it doesn't seem crazy to suggest that Rickard could have boosted his game. It's not like it's unheard of for a AAAA guy to become a decent player at 27. At the very least, with the current roster setup I'd like them to be moving more ABs from Davis to Rickard.

Mancini has not been good since he hit the wall..200 average the last 30 games and .108 with runners in scoring postion.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
