My first post ever - what fun it is to follow the minor league box scores this year

Welcome to the OH!!:clap3: He has 7 RBI's tonight. I just hope he stays for the playoffs,:rolleyes: Bowie has a good shot of winning the EL, but deep down I hope he gets his call up.

Scott Campbell is not in the lineup for New Hampshire tonight and his average was leading the league at .330. But, now with Lou Montanez at .331, 25 HRS and 93 RBI, he has the triple crown lead.

I wonder if Roch will make Lou the topic of his first post at MASN tomorrow. The Altoona radio announcer said that Lou is headed for the league MVP honor. :clap3::clap3::clap3:

Sweet Lou, he's the sweetest, nicest guys you every meet and he happens to my wife's favorite Baysox player:mad:(just kidding) and while I'm typing he just got his 5th hit and his 8th RBI, a careet day I'm sure!!! My selfish being hopes he stays at Bowie and help the Baysoxs win a championship, but my heart says that I hope he gets his shot because he deserves it!!!!

He certainly deserves a call up, but I think the long term rebuild is better served with Lou, along with Reimold, Wieters, Tillman, Hernandez, Berken and Bergensen staying with the Baysox, going to the playoffs and hopefully winning a championship together.

Plus, none of them are currently on the 40 man roster and I believe we would need to make a spot for anyone we called up. I know there are several options that have been mentioned as potential 40 man casualties (e.g., Freddy Deza) that will probably not derail the rebuilding effort, but I am speculating that this is one of the reasons that none of them has been called up to the show this year.

As I finished this post, Lou had a 6th at bat and flew out to RF - 5 for 6 still gives him the batting average lead. Baysox win 19-3.

I agree, I the think the Orioles Mgmt wants them to win a championship together and hopefully many to come as they make to the Big Show!!!

OK, someone tell me what is wrong with Wieters!! Montanez, Reimold, and Nettles combine to be 8-13 with 4 HR and 13 RBI and all Wieters can do is scrounge up a measly SF? Cut him now!! ;):D

And yes this is very sarcastic!! He is only hitting .352 at Bowie at age 22 for crying out loud. Somehow I think he is actually exceeding expectations. Can't wait to see him up with the Big Club but I understand if AM wants to wait until next year. I am just very happy for the kid. Not everyone can stand up to the expectations of being a first round pick and essentially be a future cornerstone of a franchise. He seems to be responding quite well.

Lou is now 5 for 5 with 8 RBI, as he singled in a run in the 8th.

NBC, CNN and FOX have now projected him as Tonight's Orioles Hangout Player of the Night.

If he doesn't make the Orioles Hangout minor league Player of the night I'll fire the managing editor. :D

Seriously though, he's having a hell of a year and is truly making scouts take another look at him.

Like I said a few months back, I just couldn't find the holes in his game and I liked him.

If the Orioles don't put him on the 40-man this offseason he'll certainly be on somebody elses this winter.

      Pre winter meeting reliever notes

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Why is everyone so high on this guy anyway? His K rate is still good but it’s been on the decline for the last few years. Walk rate is high, HR is ok but not great.    His ERA was sub 2 in 2023 but he had a 219 BABiP(easily the best of his career), his xFIp was 4.5, his FIP was just under 4 and his xERA was 3.35.  This was his first sub 3 ERA season since 2019.    He’s going to get way overpaid because of a sub 2 ERA this year when in reality, he’s probably a 3.5ish ERA pitcher with some declining stats, although his statcast numbers are pretty solid.

      They COULD do both.  I wouldn't want to sign Hader to anything more than 4 years.   Gunnar and Holliday could be under contract at relatively low salaries for that time.

      Oh, they’ll select someone.  I just don’t think they’ll keep him.

      If those signed those 2 guys to a contract today, it would have absolutely zero impact on the payroll this year, next year or 5 years from now.    Those players are already signed for the next several years. They aren’t going anywhere. All the long term extension does is keep them under contract an extra 1-2 years. Thats it.

      Would you trade Cowser and Ortiz for Cease

      By forphase1 · Posted

      I don't either.   But I expect Ortiz and Cowser to help the Os this year,  and I don't think Cease is a sure enough of an upgrade to trade them both for him.   In the right deal I'd certainly let them both go as they certainly aren't untouchable.  But I think 2 of our top 6 prospects is too steep a price for Cease.

      Tyler Wells 2023

      By Frobby · Posted

      I loved what Wells did in the first half last year.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2022.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2021.  But after three years, here are his career splits: 1st half: 231.2 IP, 3.42 ERA 2nd half: 47.2 IP, 6.61 ERA No matter what role he’s been in, he’s been excellent in the first half and absolutely fallen off a cliff after the all star break, three years in a row.   I’d love to see him prove that he can get through a whole year and remain effective.   But how do you plan for it?  What contingency plan to you have if the same pattern holds for a fourth year in a row?
