Hahaha. That Mancini, he can ONLY play outfield!   Can't let him take at bats away from Davis and Nunez! 

(meant to quote Can of Corn's post about shame he can't DH or play 1st... Sorry :( Tony )

I think they want to give Smith Jr. and Nunez a long look this year (at leasy half a season). If they are struggling of found to be wanting, I think Stewart gets the second half of the year as his shot.

I suspect you are right.   I could see Stewart eventually taking Nunez's roster spot.   Still a little unclear what the gameplan with Davis is, I can foresee a time coming soonish where he is blocking Mountcastle from getting any playing time.

That would make the most sense.  DFA Nunez and bring up Stewart.  Move Mancini to first.  Put DJ in Right.  Actually I would just stop playing Chris Davis at this point.

Stewart went 3 for 4 tonight and he’s right on the cusp of a .300 BA (.299) and a 1.000 OPS (.991).  

Today’s game is underway and Stewart doubled in his first at bat to raise his average to .304 and his OPS to 1.005.    So, regardless of how the rest of his day goes, he got over those thresholds at one point!    Very impressive!

Yeah, you have to give him credit. I don't have a lot of confidence in him, but it wouldn't hurt to give him a shot.

For me, I always liked his approach and understood he's a corner outfield. It was either necessary to make more contact or to generate power. It's nice that he seems to be doing both so far.

He's....wait for it.......developing. Nice to see it over a medium-ish sample size too.

I'm of the opinion, that a team this bad has no excuse not to bring up a player like Stewart, who is absolutely tearing it up in Triple A to see what he can do. 

If this roster can make room for the Chris Davis's, Joey Rickards, and Hanser Albertos of the world then it can make room for DJ Stewart too, who unlike the others could actually figure into this team's future.

Stewart ended the day 2 for 3 with two walks, so up to .307/1.011.   Nice!

Smith has been hard to watch in the field.  Defense would be much better with Stewart in left and Broxton in center.  Smith to 4th outfielder.  Wilkerson to utility infielder and outfielder.  Alberto DFA’d.

Or, Nunez. Big HR today but he often looks lost up there. Smith Jr looks more like a DH everyday.

Also, option Rickard.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.

      It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him

      Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CTBear · Posted

      Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
