Why??

What will it take for the O's and OH posters to recognize the importance of purging the plethora of DH/1B from the 26 man roster.

He can't field, he maybe can hit a little. They can keep him and cut Nunez, but I think Nunez is a better hitter.

I confess I haven’t looked with a microscope at who is likely to be on the 26-man roster next year, mainly because it’s premature without knowing who they trade, cut or acquire over the winter.    

That said, Stewart was on the 25-man roster for a decent chunk of this season, though interrupted by injuries, and I think they’ll give him a chance to show what he can do. I am not impressed with his fielding but I do think the small sample we saw can be misleading.    

Obviously the presence (or not) of Davis will impact the number of spots available for COF/1B/DH, and I’m also assuming that Mountcastle will start the year in the minors.

Slight surpluses have a way of working themselves out.  Diaz has quite a ways to go before he's pushing his way onto the Orioles' roster, and a lot can happen in the next year.  I would be in no hurry

Nice home run tonight for DJ:  

Three Run Homer
Three Run Homer

I'm not ready to give up on Cedric Mullins yet, but I'd much rather see DJ Stewart playing for the O's than Joey Rickard.

He does have an option, so it's not a huge deal really.

Re:Stewart vs X. It is way too premature to talk about comparisons because as Frobby Says, we have no idea who’s even going to be in the mix. It is not, however, too soon to be evaluating Stewart’s Performance, even with the caveat that it is a very small sample size.

And it hasn’t been very good. His defense has been keystone cops, and his offense has not compensated.

We have our center and one corner in Hays & Santander. The other corner is by no means reserved for DJ.

I'm pretty sure the other corner is reserved for Diaz, just not for OD next season.

I think Mountcastle moves to 1B (or Santander moves to DH) when Diaz comes up.

I wouldn't, either. I expect him to see a lot of playing time next season.

I don’t think anyone advocates getting rid of Stewart. He should have a lengthy audition. But if Mountcastle is a LF and Mancini is a corner and Diaz is in the wings, we have to do something with Stewart. Not to Mention any other Possibilities.

Marconi isn't much of a corner outfielder.  He's about as good there as Sisco is behind the plate.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
