Elias has excellent eyes. I don’t understand his logic and I dislike intensely Nunez at 3B and Peterson anywhere, but if he refuses to bring up Stewart there must be a good reason.

wish we knew what it is.

Brandon Hyde is filling out the lineup card not Elias.

Considering he was free, I suppose that yes, he was worth the acquisition. However, churning the roster with one lateral move after another lateral move serves very little purpose. And Martin Isn’t going anywhere until after the season. He may be designated in November, but his spot is safe till then.

Martin can be sent down after the season he was a rule five and certainly has at least an option or 2 once he clears rule 5 status.

I’m not saying Elias dictates to Hyde, but I’m pretty sure they discuss what the long term objectives are and general concepts of who should get playing time at what positions and in what situations.    I don’t think you’ll see Elias adding guys to the roster who then get buried on the bench for extended periods of time.

That is entirely correct, but Elias is the guy who is supplying the personnel. I strongly feel that the manager should be in charge of the guys on his 25 man roster, but apparently that is not the case.

I think he has all of his options, because he’s never been in the major leagues before, so has never had a need to use one of them. I think he will be eventually outrighted, but they’re going to wait and see who they pick up between now and February.

If you have not done so, watch some video of Rondon. He has a lot of defensive ability, as advertised. Very good quick soft hands and range, with about a 55-60 arm and average speed. The bat, well there is some pop there, mostly gap to gap, but he took Matt Boyd deep to RF on a pitch high and outside. 

I like the pickup, and I would like to see him play quite a bit just to see what he can do with regular reps. He might have a shot to be the starting 2B if Villar is not brought back in 2020. 

Edit: Never mind....

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
