So Buck was anticipating a rightly to follow Romio?

Looks that way.   The word was Austin Pruitt.

Obviously Cash changed him up a bit.   There's no requirement that you announce anyone but your starter, I guess.

You can pinch hit and put in lefty bashers... But Buck doesn't play the numbers.

When you've got just 3 or 4 guys on the bench instead of 6 or 7 like Earl used to have back in the day, pinch hitting in the 2nd or 3rd inning would be idiotic.

Pinch hitting for Davis?

Getting yourself down to a 3 man bench in the very early innings when one guy is the backup C and the other is a gimpy Trumbo just isn't the right move.

And Davis is "red hot", 2 for 7 in this series and hit one of those elusive sac flies we can never get in the first inning.

      David Rubenstein 2024

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      If the bolded is true, they are most likely talking to someone (if not Gunnar - Adley). Rubenstein is no idiot (like John Angelos was). He knows that the long term viability from a business standpoint is not in allowing #35 and #2 get away and go elsewhere. For those who have been to games this season, it is clear to see from all of those jerseys around the stadium who the fans have fallen in love with. Extensions are standard operating procedure in MLB currently (even for the lowest budget teams not name Athletics). The Orioles under JA were operating as an outlier. That trend is very unlikely to continue under Rubenstien. He appears to care too much to allow that to happen. IMO the Orioles must retain at least one of Gunnar or Adley AND others if they want to grow their fanbase in the market. You have to have a face or 2 of the franchise to sell and for people to continue to come see and fall in love with. Long gone are the days when people are simply loyal to institutions.

      Some encouraging news about Coby Mayo

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      Oriole doctors told him they will re-examine him in 2 weeks...and if the X-rays are encouraging, he could start a rehab assignment and could be back playing for Norfolk..mid June...instead of Mid July.               Coby is not in any pain, but the rib has to heal. Remember, Bellinger had two broken ribs, and began playing after just 2 weeks. I think we could see Mayo , assuming he's hitting again, with the Orioles in June.Elias told Coby that it was just a matter of days before he was brought to Baltimore..and then that same day, with Elias in the stands...Coby chased a pop up, fell into the dugout and broke a rib...really bad luck..

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Jorge is a speeding bullet, Gunnar is runaway freight train.

      Baumann DFA

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I think Baumann is the better pitcher than Perez...I guess they need the lefty..but Baumann, when he's decent can go extended innings too...I hope he clears waivers,,,but he wont be. He might even start for someone someday...

      Baumann DFA

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Big picture - there has been a lot of concern expressed on this board that Elias will hoard marginal players like McKenna and Bauman at the expense of team competitiveness. Whether or not you agree on the specifics of the move, it should assuage any such hoarding concerns.

      Baumann DFA

      By Malike · Posted

      Yeah, I assume they've been looking at the data closely. I would have preferred Perez being DFA'd but I put my reasoning why he's probably not the one to go in a post above, even if I think it was a bad reason.

      Baumann DFA

      By Malike · Posted

      For two years we talked about 7+ run leads possibly not being Baumann proof. I probably would have DFA'd Perez first, but I don't fault them here. They needed to get rid of someone and he was one of the two least reliable options out of the pen. I guess Perez got the LHP hard thrower advantage, even though he's not good.
