I like the guy, but he’s not ready.   Let him spend a year at Bowie/Norfolk and prove he’s better than the others (or some of them).

Unless we think it is going to retard his progress I'd rather see the kids than who we got out there now.

Not that I would necessarily expect anything else but Stewart comes across as very likable. Nice post game interview, his smile never left his face.  It is certainly much easier to root for young

Really thrilled for DJ Stewart.  He might be the first minor leaguer my son has met that is now in the Show. We saw DJ play the Brooklyn Cyclones in Coney Island around July 13, 2015 shortly afte

You are wrong about the defense.  The offense is coming around.  Stewart, Hays, and Mullins are off to slow starts also, but Santander is doing it against ML pitching.  

No I'm not. I've watched Santander make enough bone head plays in the OF to know that he's a bad defensive player. Not all bad plays show up on the box score as errors. And the difference between him and Stewart, Hays, and Mullins is that their team actually wanted them. Santander is just another team's cast off.

A 20% strikeout rate in AAA is not terribly high.   League average in the International League is 23%.    I’d like to see Stewart’s other numbers improve, but his strikeout rate is not really an issue IMO.

It's alarming to me when he struck out 16% of the time in AA. He last struck out 20% of the time back to 2016 at A/A+.

So it worries me once he comes up to the majors. It's not quite Franchy Cordero bad, but then again DJ Stewart isn't Franchy Cordero good either. :shrug:

FWIW, it's not the only criteria I have for DJ Stewart. It's merely part of an otherwise lackluster portfolio.

People can't wait to send Santander down. He's probably the best hitter of the whole bunch.

He's great.

He's going to be really good, with some more seasoning.  We're asking a lot of him right now as a Rule 5 pick, but I look forward to him coming back once he's trained up some more in the minors.

Stewart's first career home run as a Major Leaguer gave the Orioles an early 1-0 lead against the Blue Jays.

It is certainly much easier to root for young players looking for a chance instead of veterans on the downswing. His second at bat was a great one, about a 12 pitch at bat and rips a double.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
