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.

(vs. TIGERS, 5/28)

 

After being called up from AAA-Norfolk, Stewart got 3 hits in his first Major League game of the 2019 season ........ hit did so against a pretty darned good pitcher, too (Matthew Boyd.)

Please don't leave out the part where they actually called him up and were giving him a chance.  He didn't perform and then got hurt.  I did expect him to get called up for Smith though.  

Totally fair. He stunk out loud when they called him up, small sample or not. 

But if you believed in him enough to call him up in the first place, surely you would give him another shot.

People made fun of DD because of all the corner OF/DH/1B types. 

Maybe Elias loves utility infielders. 

I get rewarding Peterson on some levels but now they found Rondón what is the point of keeping him? 

Our outfield right now is Mancini, Santander and Wilkerson. All 3 playing in some way out of position.

It was 25 PA’s. That’s small even for a SSS. 

In a SSS in 18 he performed pretty well.

I just don’t get it.

Yeah, but they didn't send him down. He got hurt.  Santander came up.  I don't understand why he didn't get the call this time.

I agree.  But, I'm pretty sure this isn't an arbitrary decision by Elias.  I don't know what his reasoning is, but I'm pretty sure he has his reasons.  Time will tell.

Or for that matter, why Ruiz is at AA. What is even the point of Jace Peterson now that Villar wasn't traded?

The fact that Ruiz is at Bowie leads me to believe it is for his benefit. Wife close by? Who knows. 

He has to stay down 10 days before he can be back. Needs couple more days

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      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.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
