Tanaka just took a shot directly off a liner by Stanton May be ou awhile with concussion.  You can hear it hit him from camera up in press box.  Hopefully it was glancing blow but sounded real bad.

I’m surprised they aren’t using pitching screens for now.

I bet they do now.  I guess they want as normal as possible situations.  Plus when you usually taking BP the pitcher not throwing that had so little follow through.  If you want normal pitching it makes the screen a bit harder as pitchers come down the mound pretty far on follow through.

What a wonderful first day of camp. Pushing 100. Humidity around 50%.  Like playing baseball in a sauna. 

Look at all the pitchers on the Orioles' roster.  They all show up at camp and they all need somebody to throw the ball to, whatever the heat index may be.

How would you like to be a catcher at this camp?

I have not read that the following international players are working out with the team.  They seem to be held out of workouts so far while testing is occurring or I have just not read anything about them.   These O's international players include:

Dominicans:  Castro

Mexico: Hector Velazquez, Valdez

Venezuela: Santander

(Nunez, Severino, Alberto. Iglesias, Herrera I have read are working out on the field which means they tested negative.)

    • Starting to digest some of the almost year end numbers, he's looking good for 3rd MLB-wide in HR. The .228 BABIP is lowest by a good deal among today's 131 qualified Bats on FG.    That isn't an accident - his 30.4 GB% is 2nd lowest to Mookie Betts.     Santander has been about as successful as any MLB hitter getting ground balls out of the equation.    Elevate and Celebrate! The difference between an 80 bat like Mookie and him is Mookie can do it without popping up a zillion times - Santander's infield fly ball rate near the top. At year end on the other end of that sort, Cowser is still leading MLB at that Votto-ish "never pops up" thing.
    • It’s good to see Burnes getting into top form just as the playoffs are looming.   
    • Burnes can pitch on normal rest and lineup for Game 1. Thurs against NY and Tuesday for Game 1.  Eflin and others may need to be moved around. Kremer/Suarez combo for Game 3 (if necessary).  The Twins series likely won’t matter for us, unless the Yankees tank. This will allow some flexibility to skip guys to line them up for the following week. 
    • By WAR, Gil is about tied with Cowser at 2.4 fangraphs/3.6 bbref (cowser is basically the reverse of that.)  Wells is slightly ahead of both but he's slumping.  Pretty tight race to be honest. A good week from Cowser could seal it.   As it stands i probably give it to Gil just because starting pitchers are so hard to come by.  But Cowser could change my mind.
    • Nobody is claiming that. However he did hit last night but he let 2 or 3 balls get past him and missed a throw from Jackson.  If a guy gets optioned after showing a sign of improvement at the plate, but struggles to field his position, what's the most likely overwhelming deciding factor then? The Orioles are an organization that believes in strong defensive play, which is why we carried a player like Urias or Mateo for so many seasons even when they were struggling to hit.
    • If his year is over, B-Ref has it -0.7 WAR in 41 PA. That is turning up the heat some on 2023 Colton Cowser's -0.8 WAR in 77 PA. I'm hopeful '25 Mayo can be about as helpful as '24 Cowser.
    • Yeah that .098 average was keeping him safe.
