Well Mike Devereaux, Brady Anderson and Adam Jones hit pretty good out there, so if it is his "curse" it just started to coincide with having a lack of talent patrolling CF.

Paul Blair exorcised the ghost.

He's 8-for-23... what else do you need?  He sooooooooo hot that his average went up 70 points last night.  For Jonathan Villar to do that he'd have to go 10-for-6 tonight.  That's unpossible! It'

Wynns was going to make the team out of spring training but got hurt. Once he was swinging well Elias brought him up. I don't think it has anything to do with small sample sizes or changing of his min

This got me curious, especially since others seemed to think it was crazy. Last year in MLB there were 799 pitchers total that threw 43,493.2 innings (this and all #s in this post include positio

Is he still earning it, @wildcard? I need to know how to feel here.

Mullins may be the best defensive CF the O's could call up right now.   And that could turn out to be important considering that O's have lost two games this week because the O's outfield do not have enough range.   O's management has them playing so deep they are giving up runs on shallow fly ball.

Is Mullins earning a call because of his offense? No, not right now.

I like the conversation that you guys were having in the Mason Willaims thread.   I like keeping Rickard up as a defensive backup.    Call up Williams to see what he's got in center. Put Karns on the 60 day IL. Option either Ramirez or Castro. The O's have another off day in a week which should help rest the pen.

We may find that Williams is no better than Rickard in CF.  If that is true we are back to calling up Mullins  until Hays is ready.

I like one part of todays lineup.  Alberto at 2B and Villar at SS.  It makes for a better offensive lineup.  Martin as a backup.   Once Hays comes up the O's may be better able to handle having a less offensive SS in Martin.  So far I think Villar is about as good at SS as Martin defensively.

I was right with you up until you said that Alberto and Villar up the middle was good over starting Martin and seeing what you have in a promising young prospect.  I though starting AAAA players (like Hanser) was so 2010 Orioles.

I don't consider Alberto a AAAA player.   He is 26 with two years of major league experience.

He has a career .524 OPS. 

He was blocked in Texas.  Andrus at SS, Odor at 2B.   He has never had more then 99 at bats in a whole season at the major league level.  

Alberto has a good chance of being the O's everyday 2B after Villar is traded in July.

While that sounds like a nice story, good players who are blocked are traded. They aren’t DFA 5 times.

Al Bumbry was no slouch either in his prime. 

I could be wildly wrong.  I still can't spell Pedro Araujo and I have recently mistaken Rouge for Rogue...but in all my games watching the Os I don't think I ever saw Paul Blair or Al Bumbry in OPACY.

They both have been in OPACY.  Signing autographs.

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.

      Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways.

      I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.

      I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.

      I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
