Some already happened. But more won't until atleast tomorrow. Today is the last game for Norfolk, while Bowie is in the playoffs.

Thanks I had forgotten the minor-league schedule, that’s significant. I appreciate the information.

Thank you very much. These guys are just reinstatements And recalls, not too many surprises here. I’m really interested in who will be the first timers.

The guys we have not seen this season that have a chance to be called up are Hays, Williams,  Shepherd and Hunter Cervenka.  I guess Mouncastle is possible but I don't expect him.

I’m not understand why Mountcastle is not getting a call up. I understand his defense is bad, but it can’t be that bad. And he should be worthy of a call up anyway. 

No pitchers?

Shepherd and Crevenka are pitchers.

Maybe Mountcastle does get the call.  I personally don't want to start his clock.

I expect Mountcastle. For a rebuilding team to have the International League Player of the Year and not call him up would squander a chance for him to get a taste of the big leagues and for fans to get a look at him. He may not play much, but he'll be interviewed and displayed and he'll get a feel for playing at this level. Even if he starts next season in Norfolk, bringing him up would be a lift for Mountcastle, the team and the fans.

    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs. 
    • I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. 
    • Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. 
    • Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. 
    • Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
